I need some help understanding containers, or at least their uses.

The other day i killed an NPC and gota pack. I thought this is great, i have all these med packs in my inventory so i moved them into the pack. However, when i went to heal, i kept getting the no medicine found prompt.

I moved one of the stims out and sure enough i was healing again.

So are packs just good for storage of items that you dont use? Anyone got any good advice for a new medic with stims everywhere?

Thanks,

i put stuff i don't use in pack but discover that all my Survey Tools still work even if they r in the pack.

I guess with stims and stuff that effect directly will have 2 be in your main pack, a survey tool not effecting u so should be able 2 work from pack (thats my logic).

Also what ever close u wearing has 2 stay in your main inv also if u put them in pack they will come off your char.

That is correct. You need to move items you want to use back to your inventory. The containers are for storage and increased capacity.

Bah where the dam edit button, i meant clothes in above post.

Anything you place on your quickbar can still be accessed if placed in a back. You can tell it is in a pack because on the quickbar it will turn green. But if you try to use an item via a command like /heal then the item must be in your main pack. So if you heal alot place it on your quickbar and put it in a pack no problem.

Newb question here. I looted a pack the other day and had the same problem with the stimpacks. I tried to take the stimpacks out of the pack and place them back into inventory, but I can't figure out how. When I double-click the pack the inventory window disappears and the pack window opens. If I try to open inventory again via the icon or Ctrl-I it just closes the pack window. I can't figure out how to have both open to drag an item out of the pack back to inventory. I tried the radial menu as well, but didn't see anything that helped. I'm sure the answer is very simple and I'll feel like a total idiot when I hear it, but how the heck do you get stuff out of a pack back into inventory?

When you are in the extra storage window (not your inventory) click and hold the object you want to return to the inventory, drag it over the collapse button in the bottom left corner of the window, it should be a circle and an arrow or something, hover over it for a little while and the window will collapse back into the main inventory then just release the mouse button and it'll drop right into the main inventory.

Aibee,

Don't feel too bad. I have the same issue. The only way I've figured out to do is to use the bank. Transfer from pack to bank then to inventory.

I'm sure there's a better way that someone will post soon but just in case I'd give you my ghetto fix.

Answer is above. Spoon.
