Why this mod is worth installing
Useful for players who want more flexible storage and reliable lighting without sacrificing a hand slot. It also suits anyone looking for a maintained alternative to the older ABCS Reborn concept.
What Advanced Backpack Construction System REDUX [Now With Lantern Bags!] adds
The mod reworks the backpack construction concept around a broader selection of bag capacities. This lets you choose a storage option that better matches a short expedition, everyday travel, or a heavier supply run instead of relying on one fixed backpack size.
Lantern Bags combine a backpack with a lantern, nails, and strips. Once equipped, the bag can illuminate the area while leaving both hands available for tools, weapons, or other tasks.
A Lantern Bag continues to function as a light source when held or placed on the ground, behaving like a regular lantern in those situations. The result is a practical storage upgrade that also reduces the need to carry a separate light.
