Backpack Capacity Boost

This mod increases the carry weight provided by backpacks while keeping inventory slots intentionally capped to preserve balance and inventory management.

The goal is to reduce weight-related frustration without turning backpacks into unlimited storage.

Only applies when a backpack is equipped.

Available Versions:

- 2x Backpack Weight

- 5x Backpack Weight – Recommended

- 10x Backpack Weight

- 25x Backpack Weight (Extreme, optional)

What this mod does:

- Multiplies carry weight on backpacks that already provide weight in the base game

- Sets backpack inventory slots to a fixed, balanced value (12 slots) only for backpacks that already have slot stats

- Preserves backpack tier progression and intended design differences

What this mod does NOT do:

- Does not add carry weight to backpacks that do not have it in vanilla

- Does not add inventory slots to backpacks that do not have them in vanilla

- Does not affect movement speed or stamina

- Does not affect harvesting yield

- Does not add inventory slots without a backpack equipped
