Maybe after nested containeers change this can be touched. Possible solution would be: increase every wearable container storage volume (or lower encumbrance of currently existing backpacks), and then make it possible for normal people to use only 70% of storage while packmules can use 100% or 95%. Current trend to give every object their exact irl volume will change things a bit too, because most weapons for example like swords will have reduced volume by a factor of few times lower.

Ooh. The question here is what is packmule actually doing? Are objects poking out of their containers or are things packed into the containers in an especially economical way? If it's the former then this should be correct behaviour and needs UI support. If it's the latter then I reckon encumbrance should increase proportionally, not cap.

Edit: Noooo! Why pdf? Why?!
