We can't use multiple techs at once? :(

    I just found my energy dash, and I was excited to use it whith the pulse jump, needless to say I was dissapointed to find out you can't both of them at once.

    What is the point of this?
    And don't tell me it would be overpowered, because being able to double jump and then dash (And I am pretty sure any combination) sure as hell isn't gamebreaking to the point of making everything too easy.

    Let's be honest here, who hasn't wanted to double jump, dash a few meters away, then blink and finaly land with a mech?

    I was disappointed too but perhaps because it doesn't clearly convey that fact.

    using all at once would be too powerful imo

    I don't think it'd be so bad for them to take a look at ones that pair too well with one another and just not allows those to go together....perhaps changing the border around the icons from blue to red.

    Come on, being able to jump and dash isn't going to break anything, or make the game a piece of cake.

    well once I found the butterfly/ bubble boost, it kind make sense? since they are like both energy dash and double jump combined ...
    I think the ability of many techs are overlapping

    At the very least, if they allow you to equip 2+, they should make it it clear you have to go to your inventory screen to switch between them. or maybe I'm just not intuitive enough :(

    Big deal, just make the second one not work if they overlap.
    So small problems shouldn't get in the way of fun.

    Since I found out about mobility techs I wanted to be a ninja.
    Jumping dashing and teleporting and looking cool in general.



    EDIT: ALSO, we need to remember that techs NEED energy, so you can't spam so much it becomes gamebreaking.

    Im pretty sure I read that we are suppose to be able to use 4, but there was a problem with them interacting so they shut it down to just one for now. I would assume we will be able to use 1 of each type.

    That would make sense, especially considering the UI.

    i'm curious how being able to use multiple techs at one time would be overpowered...... In terraria (inb4 this isn't terraria gtfo noob etc etc ) techs are the equivalent of accessories i can have triple jump rocket boots wings a magic carpet and an item that lets me run on lava equipped all at one time....... it doesn't feel overpowered to me? its even quite feasible to have more than one tech active at one time just make it so you can only equip one active tech and it should be fine nothing wrong with being able to have pulse jump to get up higher cliffs energy dash to move around or evade in combat and targeted blink equipped all at one time ...... you can already do all 3 its just inconvenient having to open up ur inventory all the time and since they all have an energy cost its not like you can spam them all the time you can use a pulse jump energy dash blink combo or you can energy dash three times in a row..... then you have to wait nothing broken about that.

    I am fine with not having the ability to use multiple techs at once, at-least I can equip them and change the tech if needed with a click.

    But in what situation it would be useful to open your inventory and switch between blink, dash and pulse jump?
    The techs are actions that make small things easier, having to change them every time you want to double jump and dash is just plain silly, I understand something big like changing to equip a mech, but mobility ones should be allowed to be used all at once.
