4. The easiest way to get feathers is to break down pillows into pillowcases and 10 (or 20? i forget) feathers. And I believe it's fairly easy to make glue from flour (I think you just need a cauldron). This is from memory, so you may need to check if the recipes have changed. 5. I believe the weight capacity and weight reduction amounts were set to make these larger containers not too OP. This way you have to balance the reward of carrying a crapload of loot with the risk of slower movement and having your hands full. It's a large risk in solo games, but in multiplayer the risks can be mitigated by having someone along to act as a guard. Personally, when I use the large containers, I try to stick to the Toy Wagon since it still has a pretty decent large capacity and the ability to be used one-handed, leaving the other free for a weapon. As for the problem of dropping and/or picking up overloaded (>50 lb) containers, that is a limitation of the base game, not the mod. Maybe someone can look into a way of emptying a container while it is on the ground? I seem to recall there used to be a mod that let you empty a bag in your inventory without equipping it. Maybe that code could be modified?
