Health Items

[31Gridmore03]

I was just fighting a celestial tower and I pressed the button to quickly heal. I had Greater Healing Potions in my inventory, but unfortunately also a mushroom. Instead of drinking the potion, which heals 150 health points, I ate the mushroom, which heals 15 HP. I think they should add a feature where: when you press the quick heal button, you will automatically consume the item that heals the most. Thoughts?

It already does this, sort of. It uses the potion that it judges will be most efficient. So if you're only missing 60 HP and you have a super healing potion and a mushroom in your inventory, it'll use the mushroom. But if you're instead missing 200 HP, it'll use the super healing potion rather than the mushroom.

Strange, I had 53HP left.

maybe its operating on item placement in the inventory (like bait does) such that the 1st row 1st column item would be used before 1st row 2nd column item. Was the mushroom in an earlier slot than the potion?

Sorry. I didn't see where it was in my inventory.

That used to be how it worked, but it was supposed to have been changed back in 1.2.4. If it didn't use the right healing item, then that's a glitch, not an oversight.

I'd consider reporting this as a bug.
