### Backpack Inventory Maintenance

The **backpack** has a limited weight of 50.0

Once the player has reached or exceeded the weight limit, player movement will be considerably slower. Some actions such as jumping and melee attacks may become to impossible to perform.

Regardless of weight you can swim and dive like normal.

### Organizing the Backpack

As the player collects items in the **backpack**, they will be randomly placed in its relevant section which can sometimes cause other items to be unable to be stored.The player may need to re-organize the placement of items to make more space. Only items in the materials and food sections of the **backpack** can be organized.

To manually sort item placement in the **backpack**, pick up an item by using the `Left Mouse Button`, while holding the item press the `Right Mouse Button` to rotate the item and move the item in a more suitable position. To pick up multiple stacked items hold down the `Left Alt key`, then use the `Left Mouse Button` to move stack.

The **backpack** can also be automatically sorted by pressing and holding down `Y` key. Doing this will move the items to the top of the **backpack** providing space on the lower half of the pack. The auto sort is a quick way to free up some space, however it is usually more efficient to manually sort to avoid small items being hidden behind larger item.

## Trivia

During the update V.0.2.1 the weapons and tools section of the **backpack** was adjusted to include an additional slot for blades, which are required for harvesting animals.

In update V.2.0.5 the fire tools section holding slots was increased to hold four items instead of two. The plank was also moved and is now stored in the fire tool section instead of the materials tab.
