Makes containers hold 1 more row than they take up in your inventory.

In previous versions of the game the containers held slightly more inventory space than they took up. This mod brings back that functionality, and has logic in place to prevent nesting containers within containers infinitely. Affected items are:

FirstAidKit 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint SmallProtectorCase 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint CookingPot 4x4 inventory, 3x3 footprint AmmoBox 5x5 inventory, 4x4 footprint WaterProofBag 5x5 inventory, 4x4 footprint

Additionally this mod makes it so those containers can be repaired with tape (FirstAidKit, Protector Case, WaterProofBag) or epoxy (all others)

This mod, in conjunction with ItemSizeTweak can trim your player's kits down quite a bit, as can mods like UsefulBatteries which will make it so you aren't constantly feeding your equipment fresh batteries.
