Please Let Knabsack Be Usable By Others

[Radicaljoe]

I saw the knabsack, and my first thought was, "Wow, this will be so good for helping people farm, they can pick up everything so quickly!" But then I learned that only Wortox can hold it, and it made me sad.

Maybe let it do no damage or anything for other characters, but let them use it for collecting floor items?

Let's not make more switch characters.

Doesn't seem like a switch-character situation to me. It's more like Woodie's cane skill, or Wigfrid making a bunch of helms for base.

It doesn't even hold items, right? It just uses Wortox's main inventory to deal damage.

Yeah, it is just a vacuum scythe that picks things up and puts them in your inventory quickly.

Does that work on bugs/critters, or not? (Edit: Other threads imply not.)

saddle

Said saddle became useless cuz of nightmare saddle anyway, so hur dur.

The only good thing about the knapsack currently is the actual tool part. Its very good for picking up a lot of items. The issue is wortox cant mass produce a lot of items. Alowing other characters like a certain librarian and a former magician to use the tool would improve gameplay for everyone. It can only pick up 200 items so would need constant making of new knapsacks. I really doubt people would actually waste their time on swapping characters to make a lot of knapsacks as wortox. Just imagine how good it would be when cleaning up a stack of exploded rock fruit or fish from a wickerbottom fish farm. When a wortox gives one to said characters while doing something else.

why are people so against with character sharing items like this lol

The coolness factor is something to take into account

When DST first came out I was guilty of crafting additional Abigail flowers and giving them to other players, I thought that Abby would be able to spawn from their flowers and help them too.. otherwise: What exactly is the point of crafting additional Abby flowers?

But I fell into this same trap when I tried to share Walters slingshots with non-Walters.

It’s weird that a Multiplayer cooperative team based game restricts items to specific characters. I suppose Klei limited them so players can’t abuse crafting a bunch of them then switching to Wolfgang or Whatever to use them..

And depending on what changes Klei makes to this Wortox exclusive item/weapon, the cooler and more useful it is the more it should probably be exclusive to him to use?

(I really just want to run up and snag a Beefalo up inside of it, like they do in his animated short..!)

Same with Wanda's weapon please.

It was considered nearly useless way before nightmare saddle came out. Not many people liked it vs just using the war saddle/glossamer saddle.

ok, everyone can now use warlys cook pot and spice stations

[aidancode]

especially considering the knabsack is useless without the power to hold souls and I'd imagine another player holding a knabsack wouldn't be able to utilize soul power, this seems perfectly fine to me. It's just a spear otherwise. Calling this turning Wortox into a swap character is silly.

if it has no value or purpose then why bother sharing it?

I dont think skilltree items are designed to be used by people other than the original character…

Well that's just kinda a stupid thought. I'd prefer if other characters have lesser efficiency on using a character's items instead of being gatekept into using said character only.

Tbh I'm a fan of character swapping because stuff like Winona's spotlight and Maxwell's chests enrich long term solo worlds, without stripping their owners of their premise.
Also your character stays yours, but you have some cool gadgets that were meant for everyone anyway

BTW trading your purple gems just for that 2 silk recipe gotta be the funniest thing ever, when there's Wormwood.
Though I remember farming for fun with Wormwood and Warly players and I bet they would appreciate knabsacks for veggies, when they don't mind offering awesome bramblehusks  and spices
