leather sack

What are your opinions on the leather sack is it worth making or should you save the pelt for something else like the improvised backpack

[Zedertone 378]

I'd make it, It looks pretty cool to me.

I made one too. Pretty easy to craft. But less slots than an improvised backpack made out of an boarpelt. It should have 25 slots too i think because it looks bigger than the improvised one.

Just look at the size of the backpacks

Just look at the size of the backpacks

 

I don't think it's just about the size. The improvised backpack and the improvised leather backpack have the same size, yet the leather backpack has five slots more. And I think that is supposed to be due to leather being able to hold more weight than burlap.

But yes, the leather sack should have five slots more in my opinion too.

I think it's cool, even if it does look really gross how it wiggles and distorts =P

 

I like that it only takes a knife to make.

 

As for the question of whether you should use the hide for something else, as far as I know you can only use the boar skin to make the improvised pack from an animal.  So really the leather bag is the only use for that type of pelt right now.

 

 

I don't really feel like it needs to be larger, even if it would make sense based off the size.

Ya I feel they need to make the crafting recipe a bit harder, at the moment it's too easy to get a decent, brown colored improv bag, when in reality, a real backpack should be better in every way. 

 

That being said, the 20 slots is a good size, I wouldn't want it any bigger, you've made this backpack out of animal skin and string, unlikely it's the best workmanship. 

 

So yeah, keen for them to add some components to the leather sack recipe and fix the funky animations.

Maybe a knife and sewing kit would be good.

I think the reason why the leather sack doesn't have more slots is in the name, it's a 'sack'. Think about this;

 

Burlap sack + rope = 12 slots

Boar pelt + rope = 15 slots (I think?)

Deer pelt + rope = 20

 

So really, putting them on the same level, that is just a sack, the deer pelt does hold more. There's just 1 thing missing, silly as it may sound in a game.

 

Structural integrity 

 

Hence why the improvised burlap/boarpelt backpacks have the same/more slots than the deerpelt. I feel that the deerpelt would resemble the mountain backpack (in shape) when/if you can add sticks to it to improve it further. Personally, I love the boarpelt because it's just a slightly bulkier improvised backpack with a taloon backpack's slots!

in my opinion it should be able to stabilize your leathersack with sticks and a sewing kit wich should enable 5 more slots in addition.
