Juxta Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 So I'm loving the new update. No question it's great, only the log suit nerfing bothers me really thus far and maybe the over aggressiveness of Tall Birds and how they endlessly chase you for mining stone.I digress. Prone to it.But I realised something that is going to change how I play. The backpack. Not only is it a portable chest but a STATIC one also. I noticed you can't store it in your inventory so switching a log suit on with it on you means either dropping it until whatever threat is vanquished or leaving it at home. And that is what I'm going to start doing. Crazy? Nope. The Backpack takes 4/4 (grass/sticks) which makes it cheaper than a chest to make and I know chests are resource renewable and now hold NINE items instead yeah worth having a few about your camp sure. But the back pack man, is just too cheap to pass up as a storage container that you can craft quickly and in the earlier stages of your game to just leave behind so de-clutter your inventory for sojourns to other biomes for resourcing and what not.Just thought I'd share my slight, if late-ish, brain-fart on this matter.Am I on to a winning strategy here with this?

Marak Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Dumping your backpack on the ground and then going on to do other things is actually a fairly solid strategy; you just have to remember where you ditched the backpack. Personally, I tend to put my Log Suit in the backpack and then, when I need to fight something, RMB the Log Suit to put in on and immediately click to drop the Backpack at my feet, and I'm ready to rumble in a matter of seconds.

But I find it kind of annoying you can put your log suit in your inventory but not the back pack...I mean you wear both of them yet you can't store one in your inventory like the other.But yeah they're cheap, store things and don't despawn winning cheap chest solution imo.

Marak Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The downside is that they don't have a big, brown icon on the minimap like Chests do. Also, Chests hold 1 more item (9 vs 8 in a backpack) with this latest update.But yeah, they're still dirt cheap to make and easy to unload in a pinch.

Excess Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 "The Kevin" said something about a certain someone that will steal containers in the next couple of updates. I'm not sure leaving backpacks around will be suck a god strategy then. So enjoy the commodity while it lasts Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/2567-am-i-late-to-the-party-with-this-but/#findComment-20862 Share on other sites More sharing options...

J03 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Might not be a bad idea to leave a few backpacks laying around with crap/excess stuff in them for decoys if we do get a thief.
