I dont think that there is something to explain about it. The current situation is that instead of dropping your heavy overburdening "virtual " bag with goods on the ground which is actually your inventory is, people are forced to drag an object one by one on the ground. That makes people completely defenseless, as it is totally unrealistic. Like you search in your every single pocket and throw things one by one instead of just throwing everything out in order to survive, for exampe, when you are attacked by robbers. Give simple farmers, diggers and other industrious folk a chance. Let them have a chance to just drop everything and run away in terror, or try to defend themselves against robbers until the help comes! The question rises, that honest robbers may have be deprived of loot because this folk will just drop it on the claim ground where they usually work. Then make this type of insta loot lootable for everyone even on the claim like with graves or unconscious people! So basically, the overburdenned guy, completely defenseless cause of overburdening, will have a choice either to drop ALL his inventory and run away or try to defend it, or stay overburdenned and try to fight back, though it is fatal. If he defends it, he can kite the enemy while not letting him to loot his bag, hoping for the help to come or try to make his last stand for his precious metal shovels, iron ingots/bars etc inside the bag!

+1 Good idea. It can be used for faster terraforming though.

The soil will be also in the bag with everything else.

So rather than finding a place to put all the dirt from terraforming I could just insta dump it into a bag and not worry about it anymore? Sounds fun.

You can make a cooldown for that ability like 3 min or 2 min. That will make throwing out dirt manually more fast. Also, this ability can help those people who are stuck in the mine because of being overburdenned.

Right now when the situation demands lots of earthworks without actual need for the soil acquired, people are erecting a kiln close to the site of the earthworks and just burn the soil there. And that also remains much faster considerring the cooldown on the ability should it be implemented.

Why not combine this ability with the flee ability? I never understood how, upon fleeing a fight, you drop your weapons... into your backpack? A real fleeing opponent would throw their weapons on the ground and run. Combine this ability to dump everything with the flee mechanic with increased mobility and not being able to interact with anything for a while. That way its not as useful for crafting so it won't be abused, but it is useful for fleeing.

This is a problem if you flee but still want to carry your precious items, no time to pick it back up on the ground... especially with giant bear running into you.

The whole point of fleeing is sacrificing other things in order to escape. Your priority when using flee is to escape with your life, at that point you don't care about your weapons/armour/inventory. People who rout normally care about life, not about a replaceable weapon.

I understand the request, but honestly, seems a lot of work for little benefit. Becoming over-burdened is a risk you take, one that is easily avoidable with a little planning by players.

In general I am against making any change that requires a bunch of other code changes - especially this late in the development process - when the risk/consequences are so easily avoidable.

Especially true when such changes include what sounds simple but adds new concerns: "Then make this type of insta loot lootable for everyone even on the claim". Not going to argue whether this should or should not be allowed, but changing something like this is not simple and adds other complexities. All for little real gain except for convenience for a few.

At the time being, you don't sacrifice items by dropping it on the floor when you escape. You just unequip tools/arms to your inventory.
