Messenger bag: different capacity while wearing it

[Vega]

I was organizing some stuff of one of my chars and I filled the messenger bag. Then, I click the wear button and while trying to organize the rest... Suddenly I could add almost an extra kilo of resources to it.

I tried replying earlier, but my net went down just as I posted Annnyway...

This isn't an issue - if you look closer, your 'almost an extra kilo' will actually be equal to the weight of the bag. Clothes don't weigh anything when worn...neither do wearable bags

[Snickie]

Doesn't fully explain it. I thought it was established that clothes weigh 10grams per article regardless of how much material was used to create them. 10g and 1000g are very different.

Bags can weigh more than 10g. For example, the hide bag weighs 106 grams for some reason (more than that goes into making it). Yet this weight is subtracted when the bag is worn, not just 10g.

It would make change to me if it were the capacity of my inventory what changed, not the capacity of the bag. And it was closer to 900 than to 100, anyways.

According to the wiki, the messenger bag weighs 836 grams. It does sound like a bug if the bag itself is gaining that as added capacity, though.

It was something around that, yes.
Not that I have a problem with extra capacity in the bag, of course but I thought it could be a bug...

I always kind of assumed there was a reason for it, such as not punishing people for not always wearing their bags (because it is kind of a pain to have to remove and re-wear each time you take something out!) It isn't as though it increases your inventory capacity, just lets you slip a bit more away that you don't want to have cluttering up your inventory - or a little extra space to quickly stuff that milk you just got from the cow before you drink it
