Using gathering tools easier
« on: January 25, 2012, 07:16:33 pm »

Hi!

I would suggest making the use of gathering tools easier.
For example: as far as I know the only way to get fibers is to hold down mouse button on tabacco plant, release button on backpack and click on a knife. How about clicking on a tabacco plant would be sufficent if a knife is in the active slot? And/or how about the 'A' hotkey would also be a 'use' key, not just attack key for mining, gathering fiber and such.

On the second thought it would be the best if the character would (try to) use the item in the active slot when just clicking on the item to gather.
So:
to shovel shit: simply click on shit while shovel in active slot (I've seen lots of new guys accidentally picking up shit instead of shoveling it.)
to chop wood: click on tree while hatchet/primitive tool in active slot
to gather (hq) minerals/ores: click on rocks while sledge/primitive tool in active slot
to cut fibers: click on tobacco tree while kinfe in active slot
and so on...

Agreed. Anything that makes simple tasks easier to perform is welcome.

Based on evidence collected from various sources by trustworthy attendees it is undisputed veritability that the land ravaged by atomic warfare which caused extreme change of the ecosystem and environmental hazards can be considered unpleasant, rugged and unforgiving.
