Just want you to know that in my previous colony, my pawns were only using your packs, it's not junk

Would love to have this mod (or remake) soon in 1.6 :) Keep on going!

Would likely remake, this is my first ever mod and it's quite jank

Are you going to update this in 1.6?

Good job getting the duplicated stacktrace. Next time you could try getting the first one so he can see the stacktrace, or better yet, get the log publisher and post the hugslog

f*ck it spams so much that my tps reduced 10 times

Error when trying to shoot skipbolt with my melee pawn

I LOVE YOU BRO

I decided against doing that for the most part because enemies wouldn't really benefit from these items as much as the player does (the ventpack is an inferior jump pack that slows the pawn down and raiders don't benefit from the carry capacity)

If I ever re-do this mod (like when 1.6 drops, for example) then changing how the backpacks taint and making enemies use more of them might be a good change to make (provided they're balanced around that)

Will the enemy use these backpacks？It would be nice if some enemy can use the jump pack.

Looks like an unused mote has that incorrect filepath in it, let me see if this fixes it

idk, i never use this mod before, just install it few days before and all be fine, but yesterday i see this in main menu,

@alonlystalker

Do you actually see any missing textures in-game? That looks like a mostly harmless error related to an effect that the ripper rack used before I updated stuff

I'm assuming you had a miner pack before the update?

Could not load UnityEngine.Texture2D at Things/Mote/dvd_RipperMechanites_B in any active mod or in base resources.

Arch-shield pack could be a great addition as a sort of improved shield belt alternative while also increasing carrying capacity

https://github.com/CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended/pull/3579
newest CE patch

Let me know if there are any problems with the abilities in the update

They didn't cause any issues on my save

just a note this mod is patched on CE's devbuild

Well, I somehow fixed the problem with the weight carried in the caravan. I replaced the parameter with "carry weight" from Combat Extended, and the problem was solved, but because of this the pawn can carry +200 kg not only in the caravan, but also on the map, but it works

Next update, tribals will no longer be able to sell skippacks at all (previously it was just in the pool of archotech artifacts which they could occasionally sell)

@Lobanych
I would probably need more information (something is very wrong if VEF_MassCarryCapacity doesn't work properly)
I don't know how to support CE if that's the problem since I'm pretty sure they use completely different stats

thankyou for the speedy response

@Lobanych
That is odd, I don't recall tribals ever selling the skippack (I can look into this)
Also regarding the hunting thing: I don't think I ever experienced any issues with pawns like that since it's just a MVCF weapon so this might be a conflict

@Z Catto!
They're for caravans like the vanilla expanded backpack

are the backpacks supposed to only give caravan carry weight or am i experiencing a bug?

And when pawns with skippack trying to hunt, they lag as f*ck cause can't choose what they want to use - weapon or skipbolt

And for some reason every tribal settlement sells skippacks

I have bug with skippack - it doesn't increase max carry weight on map or caravan

really nice mod and very clean textures

Cool mod!

missing backpack textures will be added next update
been busy with work

miner pack is not showing o.O

I'm having trouble testing balance recently

They should be mostly cohesive with normal gameplay since the packs attempt to avoid directly buffing combat stats, etc, and instead serve niches

If there are any concerns, please let me know

don't know if you ever seen the Starship Troopers animated movies but having a weapons pack like the ones featured in Traitor of Mars would be cool. mini-gun turret pack, direct rocket pack, grenade pack, and antigrain/nuke pack. could even have pawns equip two at once with major move penalties. would need reloading each time it's used/minigun uses steel like any turret

Loving it so far

Sorry about the low quality of the last update

I am buffing the ArchoPack and adding another backpack

More ideas to add to Ctrl Shift ZZ's list:

Ammo Drum: Either seriously reduces or eliminates reload time, and/or doubles the number of shots per burst.

Shield Pack: Stronger energy shield than shield belts, possibly faster recharge time.

Exoframe: Extra armor, movement speed, move speed penalty reduction, carry capacity, and melee damage all in one backpack. Very advanced and expensive.

Miniature Warp Core: Ability to "skip" psychically even for non-psychic pawns.

Psi-Shield Pack: Multiplies the pawn's psi-sensitivity by x0%, reducing it to exactly 0%, thus making them immune to the effects of psychic powers and drones, but also makes them immune to psychic soothes and unable to use any psychic powers they have.

Tactical Micro-Missile Artillery Unit: A one-use volley of 6 or 8 explosive shots similar to frag grenades with slightly longer range. The pack is either used up and breaks afterward, or has to be repaired / reloaded similar to Anomaly's Hellcat Rifle special attack.

great mod! thank you!

just a few spitballing ideas:

VE mini turret pack upgrade: charge bullets, -movespeed, and minimal +capacity?

Mechanical arms pack: +capacity, +manipulation, -move speed

Spacer/archotech 4x arms pack: + Manipulation, +move speed, + global work speed. (needs a persona core in recipe, or quest only)

Bomber Pack: -movespeed, explodes on downed (ref. death acidifier/boomalope)? triggers all shells in pack? mini short range mortar with limited ammo? (ref. Grenadier armor)

Fancy Pack: +beauty, +social? meets Royals requirement.

Respiratory Pack: -move speed, +100% tox resistance, (possible SoS2 integration)

Miner's Pack: +capacity, + mining speed, -move speed

no credit needed. take or leave whatever idea you want!

Plan is for the next backpack to use bioferrite

can i use bioferrite to make backpack?

CE is patched on github

@Type Writer
Interesting
I've never used CE so I'm not entirely sure how to balance that

Just as a heads-up, your mod currently isn't Combat Extended-compatible, as CE reworks carrying capacity a bit into two different systems. I don't know the exact technicalities, but your mod just modifies Mass Carry Capacity, while CE is looking for Bulk Capacity. This doesn't cause any problems or errors that I can see, it just means that the items don't work properly.

@dimitry.minch
Thanks for the ideas. I'm currently trying to fix up what's already in the mod but work is a bit in the way. I'm currently trying to avoid adding combat-oriented packs because I feel that balancing them might necessitate allowing enemies to use them and that might exacerbate the difference between other threats (mechanoids) in larger packs

@Thranos
On-pawn visuals are currently not implemented. I will add screenshots once they are.

@Dust
I didn't add precise numbers to the temporary graphics in anticipation of needing to tweak the numbers. However, they are listed under the change notes.

And it would be nice to know some specific numbers.

An in-game on-pawn screenshot (or two) would be nice.

Wow, thanks for sharing!
For further ideas:
* jaeger backpack (minor carry capacity increase, +foraging in caravans, +hunting stealth)
* Scout pack (smokebelt upgrade, goes on torso slot like backpack. Smokepop + increased aiming speed)
