We had an issue with this today while crafting some carts. Anesia had to remove most of the items she was carrying in order to not get the 'over encumbered' message when creating the cover for a cart. Anesia has 61 str, a lot for a crafter. Anyone with low strength may find crafting a cart impossible or at the very least frustrating.
This can get very tedious even with playing with a friend. So really this feature is negative on group play and trading.
Minor bug in Bonecraft: One of the mats for Welmeti Deerbone Chestplate requires 0/0 leather.
