I like the hardcore of shrinking slots.
But this still needs some work.
Less slots is good, but there are items in the game that are way too big with the change.
ex. Bandages shouldn't take up 2 slots
Flashlight 3 slots? it's not a maglite... or add a smaller dimmer variant that's 2 slots.
NBC Clothes are HUGE in comparison of trying to hold an entire suit in your pants...
Maybe you're adding a pouch or collector case that you can fold the clothes into. I hope this is the case as they're already too big on normal sized slots!
Gas canisters, Doesn't even fit in some clothes now. and IRL these canisters are maybe twice as big as the water bottle in game. They aren't 12 gallon propane tanks.
Please take this into consideration for vanilla.
