Sometimes I feel like the world is kinda lifeless. Immense chaos has broken out two weeks ago and there should still be a good amount of survivors.

Having taken a look at this GitHub I thought I’d expand on the idea a bit, even though it wouldn’t be a big faction.

The large wallet is about 2x the size, but it’s capacity is only marginally better than the regular wallet. It’s pointless because the player would be better off using two wallets.
