Rework the weight based backpacks and adjust how players run / use calories.
I think players by default should only be able to carry 20kg in their hands. Then hunting has to make the "Simple backpack" which could make a viable item to sell early game.
- The Simple backpack should be buffed to provide 35kg of additional weight. Now you giving you a total of 55kg.
- The Big backpack which will later be made by Tailors should provide 55kg of additional weight. Now you giving you a total of 80kg + 10% more calories spent.
- The Bearpack which is even more later and end game and not quite as valuable since vehicles will exist should be buffed to an additional 100kg of additional weight but comes at a 5% speed penalty + 15% more calories spent. This now allows you a total of 120kg carried.
This then allows the "Simple backpack" to operate better than the Bearpack for early game, but provide some heftier options mid / late game at some reduction factors.
These might not be vanilla numbers so I'm going off a 30kg base weight with a 5k/10kg/15kg upgrade path on the backpacks. To give direction on my # choices, but overall i think these should be official numbers anyways.
