Suggestion: backpack

Just a simple idea for a "backpack item" the backpack would be a way to gain a secondary inventory or page two inventory but having it quipped would take up half your inventory space and slow you down when swimming.

concept the diving backpack: the diving backpack is a silicone based pack with 2 built in oxigen tanks (60 seconds of time) this pack has enough space to double the player inventory, though the player can only have one of this item at a time.

Bonuses
+60 seconds of oxygen
+second page of inventory

down sides
-takes half the first page of inventory
-slows down swim speed

other
*doesn't stack


craft requirements
one oxygen tank, 3 silicone, 2 creeper vine (think that is the kelp stuffs name), and one glass.



look concept
think, image bellow with 2 O2 tanks on the sides... image found via google search for "hard plastic grey backpack

    I oppose it giving bonus oxygen. That's what tanks are for.
    As for the increased inventory space, I guess there is a slight need for that. But for the most part I'd just give additional space by making something like a toolbelt or a oxygen backpack you can put 2(?) tanks into, so all the tools and tanks aren't cluttering your normal inventory anymore.
    Some of the stuff arguably doesn't really belong into the main inventory in the first place, like the fins (on your feet) or the 2 hud upgrades (integrated into your... cyber diving goggles?).

    The O2 tank suggestion was more to fit with tier progression and balance, as the backpack would take up a large amount of space though also give double the space it takes up.

    current idea is designed to keep in balance of the current game, if they ever change flippers and some other things to not clutter the inventory (which I doubt would happen) the idea will be shifted to match.

    Honestly I would just like dedicated equipment slots. It drives me crazy that flippers take up an inventory slot in the current build. They're not in my inventory! They're on my feet!

    Gotta love that wacky game logic.
