Backpacks

A backpack is a portable store whose contents belong to that particular bag. It is separate from a Townsfolk's profession equipment.

Get your first bag

  1. Recruit Hazel Brindle, the Leatherworker, and complete her Tannery.
  2. Talk to Hazel and open her backpack workshop. Craft a Simple Backpack for 10 Light Leather. Materials can come from your inventory and available town storage.
  3. Hold the backpack and use it to open its contents. Click carried items to store them and stored items to take them out.

Use Choose bag if you carry more than one. Rename bags to keep different supplies organized. Store matching deposits carried items of kinds already in the selected bag. Backpacks cannot be put inside other backpacks.

Capacity and upgrades

Return to Hazel with the bag you want to upgrade. Select the bag and an upgrade to see its exact materials before purchasing. Its contents stay with it.

  • Simple: 15 slots, one normal stack per slot.
  • Iron: 20 slots, one stack per slot.
  • Cobalt: 30 slots, one stack per slot.
  • Thorium: 20 slots, two stacks per slot.
  • Adamantite: 40 slots, three stacks per slot.

Simple upgrades to Iron. From Iron, choose Cobalt for more slots or Thorium for deeper stacks. Either path can reach Adamantite. Compression I, II and III each add another normal stack per slot.

Install an Item magnet, then turn it on in the backpack to collect nearby dropped items. A Travelling jukebox adds music selection and a stop button. These are optional upgrades, not extra storage tiers.

If a purchase fails, check materials, free inventory space and which bag is selected. Stay near Hazel while crafting or upgrading.
