A lack of inventory space got you down survivor?
Well, worry no more with the new Bigger Backpack system!
Craft, loot, or buy your way to a bigger inventory today!
V3.3.0 also introduces a new inventory grid size of 8×6.
That’s 4 rows of free-to-use slots and 2 rows of encumbered slots.
A total of 48 slots which is 3 more slots than the legacy 9×5 grid.
Backpacks come in Small, Medium and Large sizes with 6 quality levels each.
Equipping a backpack into the new Backpack slot will grant the player additional encumbrance slots up to a total of 96 slots in an 8×12 grid.
The Pack Mule perk and Armor Pocket Mods can then remove the encumbrance.
V3.3.0 Changelog
Added
Added multiple toolbelt pages for use in Prefab Editor. Added a new toolbelt xml that defines through data the amount of slots, rows, and pages
Increased inventory size based on backpack items
Changed
Switched ItemActionRanged.TryExecuteAction to virtual to keep mod compatibility
Optimized prefab cells data to use native memory
Updated rancher footstep SFX from barefoot to having footwear
Improved bug reporting when players are stuck in the loading screen. Reduced stuck cases and simplified respawn logic. Some conditions which could previously hang respawning now have timeouts that prevent a soft lock.
Fixed
Item background no longer flickers when moving into storage
Moving inventory item stacks no longer triggers both ‘pickup’ and ‘place’ SFX
Workstation now updates prompt for items to collect
Setting drop on death to Equipment no longer causes equipment duplication on death
Fixed a possible rare deadlock between threads which could occur if a chunk-straddling MultiBlock was placed/removed/updated at the same time as the save system attempted to process culled (reset) chunks.
Vehicles now again properly check for inventory contents before allowing pickup on dedicated servers.
Dying while reloading no longer bugs out the weapon
Fixed a possible exception edgecase in RegionFileManager
Known issues:
A possible NRE when generating chunk decorations (new games only)
Euthanizer perk triggers but doesn’t work
Item sell number might not display correctly
Unable to consume items from Campfire
Need to be transfered to backpack first
Not able to join a p2p or server on Mac with French language selected for client
If player changes Language options in MacOS the game will freeze and throw an exception making player force quit game
Unable to sell tenth item from Hotbar
Changing to bows, crossbows or knuckle items before while in 3rd person and then changing into 1st person will cause the item to float in front of you.
Workaround: Changing the active toolbelt slot in 1st person fixes the issue
