📋 About This Mod
Adds a Field Scribe Backpack that can be worn with any armor or clothing.
Uses biped slot 58 for the top and full version, lower version uses biped slot 57.
Full version increases carry weight by 50, top version by 30, lower version by 20.
Comes in 4 colors, vanilla green/tan, darker green, tan version, and a black version.
It can be found at a shack near Vault 111 on two NPC's and inside the shack in a duffle bag. Check screenshots for exact location.
"Optional level list" adds them to the minuteman clothes level lists, 50% chance of none. May not work if you already met the minutemen that will wear them.
"Decorative Only" optional file has no buffs at all, it's a decoration on your back.
