Fully integrated animated backpack with mods.
What kind of modifications, you ask?
Yes, this backpack can be upgraded!
For this purpose, there are 3 modifications that provide access to base crafting stations right in the field.
All of them can be found in the Capital or Mojave Wastelands!
You can put mods into backpack inventory and they will works too.
(Hints about their locations can be found in the note in the backpack)
Workbenches in Fallout have always been controversial to me. I practically didn’t use them because I forgot about their existence. With Functional Backpack, they will at least be able to remind themselves of themselves.
It's inspired by the crafting in game Metro Exodus, where you can make items on the go.
Update 2. 0 adds a new unique bedroll!
You can use it without a backpack, however you can physically attach (and dettach if you want!) it to backpack.
Just put it in backpack inventory and it will automatically appear on it.
You will still be able to use bedroll via the backpack menu.
Allows you to choose which of the two wastelands the backpack and modifications to it will appear on. You can change the choice later in the game if you want. This works on the fly. If you select a DC without TTW/SFW installed, the mod will automatically switch to working with Mojave.
*SFW - A Soul of Fallen Worlds - Russian branch of Tale of Two Wastelands. I have a some friends and familiar people who play this branch, so I made support for it too.
Remember weapon modification system in Metro Exodus? Well, this is it.
If you have an NVWO, it makes it possible to modify your weapon by raising it above your backpack.
Not all types of weapons are covered, but the main part.
Using Stewie Tweaks, you can swap weapons through your backpack inventory and continue to modify different weapons without standing.
Note for modders: When adapting weapons, do not make a separate 1st person model in the properties. This causes animation glitch.
Yes, I spent some time and was make my first MCM menu. I put my soul into it and I must say that it was not in vain.
Allows you to configure many options in a convenient menu that is familiar to everyone.
Contains 19 in game options.
More for people born with a gamepad in their hands.
Nothing special, I just made in-game items like in old mods that allow you to use the backpack functionality via hot
