Backpack (Forestry): Difference between revisions

'''Forestry's Backpacks''', like their [[Backpack (Editted for ModdedNetwork)]] and [[Adventure Backpacks]] counterparts, expand the total number of things a player can carry at once. Unlike the others, Forestry's entry is notable for having predefined item types that go into each of its backpacks, built-in auto-pickup without any configuration necessary, and quick refill / deposit. These Backpacks are also technically the only ones available at the [[Stone Age]], requiring leather, cotton, wood, and a variable third item depending on type. [[Railcraft]] adds three Forestry-type backpacks; Iceman's, Trackman's, and Apothecary's. [[Extra Bees]] adds one, the Thaumaturge's Backpack.

[[File:ForestryBackpackModes.png|thumb|alt=Four dark forest green backpack icons. The first has no additional decoration, the second has a dark gold padlock, the third a neon green up arrow, the fourth a yellow down arrow.|Modes - Normal, Locked, Receiving, Resupply]]Any backpack can be opened by holding it and right-clicking to access its contents. Backpacks have four modes that can be cycled through by shift-right-clicking while holding the backpack. The backpack's tooltip will say what mode it's in and stack count/capacity. Backpacks will only pick up drops, not items automatically placed into the player's inventory notably items gained from [[Storage Drawers]] and Wand Focus: Equal Trade. Foresty backpacks cannot be worn/equipped.

With the exception of Apiarist and Lepidopterist, each Forestry backpack comes in two sizes. The basic version has fifteen slots, and the upgraded versions, marked with gold buckles, have forty five. Upgrading any of the backpacks requires a Carpenter and Woven Silk, which is only made by [[Bees]]. Silky Combs[[Comb]]s can be collected from wild-caught Tropical Bees cycling in a Bee House or Apiary (beware their Poison effect) or generated with the Escritore mini-game and a Silky Comb producing bee.
