Packs Are Not Belts

Mod, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4


Moves the jump pack, low-shield, and some modded packs to the torso slot so they can be worn with belts.

Also moves the exoskeleton frame from VWE Heavy to its own layer, and some Rimmu-Nation items away from the torso, so they can still be worn with other utilities.

Mod Settings
The following mod settings exist so that you may customize your experience:
  • Nudists ignore utilities - By default, anything worn on the legs or torso will upset nudists. This setting allows them to wear all utilities without consequence.
  • Use Tactical Layer for Rimmu-Nation 2 - (REQUIRES RESTART) If enabled, all webbings and belts from Rimmu-nation 2 will be moved to their own layer. This will make them wearable with all other items.
  • Use Tactical Layer for [JDS] EFT Apparel (non-armor) - (REQUIRES RESTART) If enabled, all non-armored riggings from EFT Apparel will be moved from the Outer layer to the Tactical layer.
  • Use Tactical Layer for [JDS] EFT Apparel (armored) - (REQUIRES RESTART) If enabled, all armored riggings from EFT Apparel will be moved from the Middle layer to the Tactical layer.
  • Use ammunition layer for Rim-Effect ammo belts - (REQUIRES RESTART) If enabled, all ammo belts from Rim-Effect: Core will be moved to their own layer. This will make them wearable with all other items.
  • Use ammunition layer for VAE Accessories - (REQUIRES RESTART) If enabled, the ammo pack and quiver will be moved to the Ammunition layer.
  • Equipment ignores damage - If enabled, apparel on the equipment layers will not take damage in combat. Mod compatibility is not guaranteed.

If you know of any modded apparel not yet included in this patch, please let me know so that I can include it.

This mod does not add any apparel, it only modifies apparel from other sources. All credit for the packs themselves goes towards their original creators.

Special thanks to the XML and C# gurus in the Rimworld Discord server, for teaching me new things.

This mod uses Harmony.
