Realistic carrying weight (punitive) 35 kg MAX

Do you think that wearing 50+ kg of equipment is too much? This mod changes your maximum weight to 35 kg.

I asked ChatGPT to help me develop a more realistic carrying weight for the game.

Choosing a realistic weight for an immersive gameplay experience in Stalker 2 depends on the balance between realism and gaming convenience. Here is a sample scheme that will help you in this:

Real World Context:

Lifting capacity in real life depends on factors such as fitness, fitness and equipment distribution. Here are some baselines:

An untrained person: Can comfortably carry about 15 to 20% of their body weight over long distances (eg, while hiking). For a person weighing 70 kg it is 10-14 kg.

Trained Soldiers (Combat Load):

Modern Marines often carry 25 to 45 kilograms (55 to 100 pounds) of equipment, including weapons, ammunition, and equipment. However, it is physically exhausting and cannot be used for a long time.

Survivors or people who are overweight can carry 30 to 40% of their body weight, but this greatly reduces endurance.

Adjustment for immersion in the stalker atmosphere:

Given that the protagonist of Stalker 2 is an experienced, hardy man working in harsh conditions, he is likely to carry a heavier load than a normal civilian, but not as large as modern soldiers burdened with modern equipment.

Basic Offer:

Realistic maximum weight: 30-40 kg (66-88 lbs) is a balance between realism and practicality.

Comfortable carrying weight: 15-20 kg (33-44 lbs) for free movement. Anything above this value should slow down movement or decrease endurance.

Implementation of in-game mechanics:

To create a sense of immersion, consider:

Penalties for encumbrance:

Decrease endurance regen or increase endurance expense at > 70% of maximum weight carried.

Significantly slowed movement velocity at > 90% of maximum weight.

Backpack systems:

Adjust the weight according to the type of equipment. A lightweight exploration kit against full cargo for long expeditions adds diving.

Dynamic constraints:

Tie the weight of the backpack to the level of health or endurance. A wounded or tired character may carry less.

Last Weighted Proposal

Realistic maximum transportable weight: 30-35 kg (66-77 lbs).

Penalties to the encumbrance:

70% (21-24 kg): A slight increase in stamina consumption.

At 90% (27-31.5 kg): Significant loss of speed and stamina.

This customization allows you to feel at peace while playing effectively.

This is my first attempt at creating/editing fashion.

I used Adjustable Carry Weight in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Nexus - Mods and community for main files, and then used StalkerPakTool - Another Script to Pack and Unpack Pak Files in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl Nexus - Mods and community for unpacking and repacking.

Insert the .pak file into the ~mods folder.
