Backpacks



"UPGRADED STORAGE MODULE"

- WX-78 Backpacks, or wearable storage items, can be obtained from Crafting in the Survival tab with the yellow noose icon on the left-hand side. Backpacks increase the maximum number of items the player can hold.

Backpacks do not have Durability, thus allowing any type of backpack to be used infinitely. The Science Machine is required before you can craft a regular Backpack, which has 8 inventory slots. With an Alchemy Engine, it is possible to craft a Piggyback, which has 12 inventory slots, but decreases speed by 10%.

Krampus has an extremely rare chance to drop a Krampus Sack. It has 14 inventory slots, 6 more than a Backpack and 2 more than a Piggyback. It should be noted, however, due to the lowly drop rate and a significant time investment to spawn a Krampus, that the player may spend more time trying to get the time that would be saved by simply walking slowly with the Piggyback.

In the  Reign of Giants  DLC, the player can craft an Insulated Pack in the Survival Tab. The Insulated Pack has 6 inventory slots and slows the spoilage of the items contained within. The Backpack also becomes flammable. The Piggyback is also made waterproof and will not cause sanity drain while equipped. However, it will not protect the player or any item outside of the Piggyback from rain. The movement speed penalty was also increased from 10% to 20%.

In the  Shipwrecked  DLC, Thatch Packs, Chef Pouches, and Sea Sacks were added to the Survival Tab. The Thatch Pack has 4 inventory slots, the Chef Pouch has 8 inventory slots while the Sea Sack has 6 and both slow food spoilage. The Booty Bag could also be found  randomly floating in the Ocean, or dug up at an 'X' marks the spot location, as well as being a reward from defeating the Quacken. It has 8 inventory slots and drops a Dubloon daily.
