Matfox It's likely another mod; or you didn't create a new bag. This mod only works with newly crafted bags.
I just started a fresh save with only this mod and it seems to function just fine.

This mod does not work at all for me, it seems to do the oppisite and the linin sacks I made only give 5 slots and not the 10 by defult

Just wondering when this mod will be updated, pretty hard to play without it now.

Perric101, Sep 1st 2025 at 8:32 PM

Just_Purple Do you mean to go into the zip files to make this change? For me, it is not working. So sad...

Necrotize Not sure if it's affecting anything else but I got the reed baskets to work again by editing the line of code in the mods json file.


if you open the Mods folder and go to the mod and find the file named: "survival-itemtypes-wearable-bag-basket"
you can open it in notepad and edit the line:

"file": "game:itemtypes/wearable/bag/basket.json",

you just need to add the word "hand" in front of basket.json

like this

"file": "game:itemtypes/wearable/bag/handbasket.json",

it should work. worked for me atleast. might be decent while the mod updates. 

 

Hope it works for you if you decide to try it. Cheers.

LadyEdain Glad you like it! 🤘

I'm a hoarder and a builder, so this is great for holding all the crap I pick up and that I need to build, without constantly having to swap stuff out. Any OPness is balanced out by the fact that if you have too much stuff, you can't find what you're looking for in your inventory, so you are encouraged to disgorge the contents fairly regularly.

Winterdragon The sturdy backpack is included. Just double checked the patch file and it's there; 64 slots. 112 for the sturdy mining bag.

Winterdragon, Feb 23rd 2025 at 10:41 PM

you forgot about the reinforced backpacks, or did you?
