Replaces and adds new models and textures for the Satchel to use in the same way as a Fanny pack. In other words, this mod provides you with the ability to wear Satchels with backpacks, you can wear them on the front or&and back of your character. Moreover, all appropriate zombie spawns wear satchels in a new way too.
Satchels were re-balanced to be in tune with vanilla bags&backpacks. However, even though Satchels were re-balanced, you can adjust stats as you want through Sandbox options. There is also a version without sandbox option and with vanilla satchels characteristics.
Better satchels mod reworks&adds some satchels icons. Also, this mod implements Tactical satchels, which you can find for better stats and run speed modifier. Tactical satchels will rarely spawn on Hazmat wearing zombies.
Save files
Adding this mod will not ruin your current playthrough, but there will not be any changes till you start a new game.
Compatibility
Will not work with any mod that changes satchels in any way. Also, it may have issues with mods adding&changing outfits with satchels or vanilla hazmat wearing outfits. However, some load-order tweaking may or may not help with compatibility issues.
Built-in Compatibility
- They Knew
- Susceptible Trait - Airborne Infection
If you are using "They Knew" or "Susceptible Trait" mods, you will need to load "Better Satchel" mod after them. It is essential because this mod replaces satchels within "They Knew" mod. Also, appropriate changes to the "Susceptible Trait" mod's new zombie outfits (the once wearing satchels) were made.
Be aware, this mod changes "They Knew" mod's zombie outfits and hazmats. Zombies from "They knew" mod will sometimes wear vanilla hazmats and some clothes under their hazmats. Textures and icons of "They Knew" mod's hazmat were changed to be in tune with vanilla and Satchels brought by "Better Satchel" mod. Also, you can wear those with vests and jackets.
Known issues
- New crafted satchels (Build 42) can be weared only at the back, same as Fanny Pack. - New 3D model needs to be changed.
- Textures of new crafted satchels will have issues, whenever you wear those with special clothes (for examle bulletproof vest). - Same problem, will fix this issue in the next updates.
