MOD INFO I found very unrealistic that the Modern Pickups (these big farm trucks) had the same amount of cargo capacity (inventory slots) as the... Taxis(!). And if that wasn't bad enough, the High End Exotic sport car had as much cargo capacity as the... Sedans(!). Really, all these made no sense.
So here we go: this mod fixes and balances the inventory sizes for all cars in the State of Decay, for more realism!
MOD DETAILS The 'Rucks in Trucks' is a new feature added by Undead Labs with a recent Update Patch for the State of Decay, following a popular demand by the fans. However, all the vehicles are given similar cargo capacity which was either 4 or 6 inventory slots. No car is given more than 6 slots, no car is given less than 4 slots. This somewhat ruined the game's realism because it lacks variation. It didn't reflect the big variety of vehicle sizes (and their cargo capabilities) in the State of Decay.
My mod aims at fixing this. What it does, is to adjust the vehicle's cargo capacity (inventory slots), by reducing the available cargo capacity for High End Exotics and Old-School Muscles by 2 slots (from 4 to 2), but increase the cargo capacity for Station Wagons by 2 slots (from 6 to 8), for Old Pickups by 4 slots (from 6 to 10), and for Modern Pickups and Military Pickups by 6 slots (from 6 to 12). Here is a comparison chart of the mod's changes to the State of Decay's vehicle inventories:
Vehicle Inventory Slots - BEFORE (default game values):
Vehicle Inventory Slots - AFTER (modded game values):
NOTE: For some people, the game may not allow the storing of more than 10 Rucksacks in the vehicle at a time, due to game memory limitations. This means, that you may be unable to store more than 10 rucksacks in the vehicle at a time, even if the vehicle has 10+ slots in its inventory. In this case, just bring your 10 rucksacks to the base before continuing your scavenging runs for more rucksacks. I can do nothing about this restriction, it is a hardcore game limitation. The memory limitation only affects the rucksacks, nothing else. This means, that aside from the 10 rucksacks limit, there are no other limits in the game: you can store 10 rucksacks and fill the rest of the car's inventory slots with items (medical kits, food, etc) and weapons (guns, grenades, etc), without any problems!
