Closed Just saw the new look/use of the hotbar.....

And I don't like it. The items now take up valuable space in our inventory as well as being on the hotbar??? Not good. It also seems like we can't have quite as many on the bar at one time as we used to. I also saw that 2 handed items now take up 2 spaces! hope it won't stay this way I liked it better the other way. What does everyone else think of the new hotbar?

 

You can press "x" to swap between two different hotbar setups/layouts, meaning you can have up to 12 hotbar slots, up from 10. It also means you can have more than weapon/shield or dual-wielding configuration you can switch between, rather than just having one. So it seems nice so far.

 

The hotbar was never meant to be a separate item tab for you to store items in >_>

 

Ainzoal pretty much said it, but yeah... Hotbars are meant to be for fast access to specific items and not "storage space".

 

EXACTLY. Do you know how annoying it is to runaway from villages because I spent the entire time doing subquests while having a full inventory and all the stuff on my hotbar are deadly harmful including my Left and Right hand items so when I try to swap to like a band aid the guards are still telling me to put my knife down like I'm about to mug him and mend him back to health?

Dr. Serial they'll call me I swear!

 

I wonder if someone could make a mod to reintegrate the old hotbar into Starbound. I don't know the first thing about modding, or even if that's possible, but that would be amazing if someone could do it.

 

I think that both of the hotbars will be available for the player

 

So far the devs have said no to that

 

I don't like it.....................99% because it doesn't support shift-clicks for faster item moving from.

but it can setup nice equipment and weapon setups since you don't need 3 pistols to akimbo weild one slot and flashlight pistol the other.
