how do you attach stuff to a toolbelt?

[Dominic]

i have a hammer in my main inventory and a screwdriver in the toolbelt (equiped) inventory yet it says no weapon when i rightclick the toolbelt slots on the bottom hotbar and rightclicking the hammer or screwdriver only brings up the option to attach it to my normal belt (replacing the axe or machete)

[shit-for-brains]

drag the item from ur inventory to the belt

Then that cant go in there, Try a hammer, It will go onto it.

Right click on the item and select attach to and then select the slot.

Certain items can only go in certain slots. That's the only reason it wouldn't work unless you have mods messing with things

If you're talking about the wearable item named "Tool Belt" that takes the slot of the Belt item you start with, only certain items can go in the front and back slots, and only items categorized as "Tool" or "Tool/Weapon" can be placed in the container itself. So far I've found two items that can fit on the back slot. A Nail Gun weapon(Not the orange Hydrocraft Nailgun, the big yellow one that you can load a Nail Gun Magazine into.) and the Cordless Drill that functions as a weapon. I haven't found anything that fits in the front slot yet.

No I did, but that is exactly how it's supposed to work. If it doesn't then you have a mod problem. I also don't know of a tool belt in vanilla, so it's possible that it simply doesn't make use of that function.

Edit: Confirmed there is no "tool belt" item in the vanilla game, so the mod that adds it would need to be updated to allow it.

Eh kinda no. Since for one the holster and double holster are for guns. So those are those slots gone I believe they're just small guns though. Haven't really gotten far enough to use them.

The toolbelt you start with the first ones for large weapons two handed and bigger guns like shotgun. Smaller objects would just slip right out there assuming that's their immersive reason. The other two on the belt are for smaller objects that fit.

Really not gonna go into a huge debate on this since i'm only guessing their purpose base on what actually works at the moment. Maybe they'll change it with feedback though probably not. If it bothers you enough there might be a mod for it.

The ToolBet can storage only tools, and you can put on Slot 5 the Drill and Nail gun and Slot 6 walkie talkie.

Sounds like mods.

Screwdrivers go into quick item slots no problem.
