Basic Backpack

A basic backpack to carry supplies.

Notes

The Basic Backpack is a wearable item that increases your maximum carry weight by 5 kg, making it an early-game upgrade for hauling more resources. It is crafted via the Basic Backpack or Primitive Backpack recipe and stacks to one, weighing 100 g. Since carry weight limits how much you can transport before slowing down, this backpack is a practical first step to improve your efficiency while gathering materials.
