Work Backpack
A lighter pack with outside straps that keep spare tools within easy reach.
Notes
The Work Backpack is a clothing item that reduces calorie consumption from tool use by 10% and increases your maximum carry weight by 5 kg. It is crafted from a recipe and stacks to one, making it a practical early-to-mid-game upgrade for any player who spends significant time mining, logging, or hauling materials. Wearing this backpack helps you work longer before needing to eat and lets you carry more resources per trip, which is especially useful when gathering bulk materials for construction or industry.
