Mechanism: Inventory Management
Capacity
- Default Slots: Players start with a limited carrying capacity of 5 slots.
- Expansion:
- The “Pack Mule” skill can increase this by up to +3 slots (total of 8).
- Capacity can be further expanded by rare craftable Backpack Tiers:
- Salvager Pack: +2 slots
- Expedition Pack: +3 slots
- Hauler Pack: +4 slots
- Dropped Packs: Carrying capacity shrinks if a backpack is dropped; any overflow items are automatically dropped on the ground.
Cargo Drone Logistics
Players can utilize Cargo Drones to manage resources more efficiently while in the field.
- Function: Load up to 4 items into a Cargo Drone and send them back to the Town Bank directly from the field.
- Requirement: Requires Drone Operator Level 2.
Items on the Ground
- Discovery: When scavenging or in specific locations, items can appear “on the ground.”
- Interaction: Players can see and interact with these items without they being in their active inventory slots.
- Selection: Limited slots force players to prioritize which resources to carry and which to leave behind or use immediately.
