Standard issue emergency boxes are now standard issue emergency pouches.

Pros

  • Can be worn on suit storage, either pocket, or belt slots

Cons

  • Fewer slots than a box (5 by default)
  • Slightly more restrictive on contents (Tiny items + a curated list of small items)
  • Can't be opened when stored in a backpack

Clown's box is untouched, primarily cause I didn't want to make a sprite for it.

Reasoning:

  • Make backpackless gameplay a bit more viable.
  • Make it a bit less punishing if you lose your backpack (you can store your emergency supplies somewhere besides your backpack now)
  • Make the emergency box less of a "auxiliary storage place where I dump all my tiny objects" to "something I whip out for emergencies".

Other changes:

  • Adds tool pouches.
    • Similar to survival pouches (they're wearable on pockets / suit storage / belt), but meant for tools. Kinda like a mini toolbelt.
    • Purchasable in tool storage or available in engineering.
  • Ports the global allowed list for suit storage, making it a lot more consistent what you can wear on your suit or armor
    • If you're confused what this means, it just means you can put an emergency O2 tank on ALL suits and armors. Specific interactions like guns on armor is untouched.
  • Audits some item weights
    • laser pointer: small -> tiny
    • genetic sequence scanner: tiny -> small
    • health analyzer: tiny -> small
    • wound analyzer: tiny
    • test tube rack: small -> normal
    • earmuffs: tiny -> small
    • badge / medal accessories: small -> tiny
    • skull / sinew accessories: small -> normal
    • waistcoat / apron accessories: small -> normal
    • spacepods (earbuds): small -> tiny
    • skillchips: small -> tiny
    • chest bodyparts: small -> bulky
    • surgical tools / drapes: tiny -> small
    • large ammo magazines (LMG, sniper): tiny -> small
  • Ups capacity of smart organ fridges (20 -> 100), and they can now hold raw meat
  • Biobags can hold raw meat
  • Consturction bags can hold any sheets (iron, glass, rods, etc)

is there anything to stop people from simply making a box and ignoring this mechanic entirely?
