Trenix Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We should be able to use a backpack and armor at the same time. At first I thought this would make the game much easier and was against the idea. However after my friend added this type mod to the server, I was surprised why this isn't in vanilla. All it really does is stop the annoyance of never being able to pick up anything. I personally don't think it's strategic to keep paying attention to your inventory space 24/7 and switching things around continuously just to play efficiently. It's not fun at all and more annoying than anything.

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted January 10, 2016 Developer Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hmm... I feel like this is something that should remain mod-only...IMO, this is an unnecessary change to the game, even more so considering all the bugs the devs are fixing and all the things they still have to add :/ Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/62213-backpack-slot-to-wear-backpack-with-armor/#findComment-707348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krampus isnt going to steal your backpack WHENEVER YOU SIMPLY RIGHT CLICK THE THING TAKING UP 1 SPACE OF INVENTORY.

Use a backpack and then randomly switch over to armor when you're about to fight. Mind as well just have us use both, right?

Developer ImDaMisterL Posted January 10, 2016 Developer Share Posted January 10, 2016 Why?Quite frankly, because I like it that way, and am not bothered by my armor taking up 1 inventory space, since I tend to manage it properly Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/62213-backpack-slot-to-wear-backpack-with-armor/#findComment-707360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitboy Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Why?It is not just armor, It's also clothes tgat give you resisntance to cold\warmth.

The items should a weight and the player of different stages of slow-penalties.

DarkXero Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Well, sometimes you just need to equip armor and you risk dumping your backpack in the middle of some webbing.Or near some hound mounds. Or near the dragonfly. But it's not only armor.When using a backpack, you aren't using anything with waterproofness or insulation. So you make a choice, use puffy vest during winter, or backpack? (or hat like beefalo hat)Use raincoat, or backpack? (or hat like eyebrella, or umbrella with hat)Use floral shirt, or backpack? (or eyebrella, or ice cube) I use a backpack for the first days, then I burn it and use armor/season equipment from there on.You don't need to pick everything up right when you see it. If you play Shipwrecked, this is even more important to grasp, because there's so much stuff that even with a piggyback you get overloaded if you pick up everything.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think this adds very much to the game. I take the feature as annoying more than it is fun or challenging. I'm sure that people will disagree with me on this.
