Dynamic Carrying Capacity Mod

Author of the Dynamic Carrying Capacity Mod: mlie

Dynamic Carrying Capacity Mod changes pawn mass capacity on both the map and in caravans, replacing the vanilla body size-based calculation with a formula that also accounts for carrying capacity and manipulation.

Dynamic Carrying Capacity Mod Features

Vanilla RimWorld calculates mass capacity as 35 kg × body size. The Dynamic Carrying Capacity Mod uses the following formula instead:

5 * √(CarryingCapacity) * (1 + Log(BodySize))

CarryingCapacity is calculated as:

BaseCarryingCapacity * Manipulation * BodySize

Example mass capacity changes

  • Human Vanilla: 35.00 kg.
  • Healthy human without modification: 43.30 kg.
  • Human with 12% manipulation: 15.00 kg.
  • Human with 53% manipulation: 31.52 kg.
  • Human with 78% manipulation: 38.24 kg.
  • Human with EPOE exoskeleton implant: 55.90 kg, with +25 carrying capacity and +25% manipulation.
  • Ratkin Vanilla without modification: 28.00 kg.
  • Ratkin without modification: 27.09 kg.
  • Ratkin with Santa Package: 41.38 kg, with +60 carrying capacity.
