What kind of MOD is it?
(TMO) Mega Backpack and Storage (Author: TheMeanOneDevelopments, Category: Gameplay) appears to be a MOD that expands the capacity of your backpack, storage crates, vehicle storage, and Forge all at once. In 7 Days to Die, the items you gather through exploration, salvaging, and building pile up fast, and you’ll inevitably run into problems like “I can’t carry it all,” “I don’t have enough crates at my base,” or “I keep making trip after trip just to smelt my materials.” This MOD aims to relieve all of that inventory-related cramping in one go.
It’s described as being designed to suit any playstyle, from the so-called “hoarder” who loves collecting to the efficiency-focused “strategist.”
Main features
- A growing backpack: It appears to start at 100 slots and unlock more space as you level up, expanding to a maximum of 200 slots. A design that gives you breathing room from the early game while still leaving the fun of building it up.
- Enhanced storage crates (writable crates):
- Wooden crate … 100 slots (10×10)
- Iron crate … 120 slots (12×10)
- Steel crate … 140 slots (14×10)
- Expanded vehicle storage: Bicycle 40 / Minibike 80 / Motorcycle 90 / 4×4 Truck 90 / Gyrocopter 90 / Robotic Drone 32 slots — hauling things around by vehicle looks to get much easier.
- 3-slot Forge with large inputs: A 3-slot Forge is added that lets you insert and smelt multiple materials at once, cutting down wait times and boosting your processing efficiency, according to the author.
These numbers are based on the author’s description and may vary depending on the version or environment.
Installation tips
- Installation is basically the same as any typical MOD: place the downloaded folder into your
Modsfolder (for details, defer to the instructions on the Nexus distribution page). - The file name includes an “ST” designation, which may mean it contains a server-oriented configuration. If you’re using it in multiplayer, it’s a good idea to check the distribution page for how it applies on the server side versus the client side.
- MODs that rewrite storage and capacity tend to be sensitive to save data and version updates. We recommend backing up before installing and verifying that things work after any game update.
Who is it for?
- People who tend to lose time organizing items or making trips back and forth to storage, and who want to prioritize QOL (comfort)
- Players focused on collecting and base-building who push through crafting and construction while holding huge amounts of materials
- Groups who want more storage space not just in solo play but also in multiplayer, where base storage is shared
Conversely, those who value the tension of survival — making do with a limited number of slots — may find the expansion too large. It’s fair to say this is a MOD suited to people who want to easily boost their comfort level.
