QoL suggestions

[Beldarak]

Hey guys. Really liking the game so far. But I feel it's really lacking in term of Quality of Life which makes this game fun but sometimes tedious^^

Here's a few suggestions that would really add that polish that separate good games from classics.

• Quick stack in nearby chests (no need to open the chest, just stand close to them)
  
• Craft from chests. I noticed the game already support that but only from one tile which is not enough (it actually gets in your way since you'll then often open the station instead of the chest and vice-versa)
  
• A "deposit all" button on chests to easily empty your inventory before heading out
  
• Replace floors/walls on the fly. We should be able to do that instead of having to remove the previous floor (and objects on top of it) and then place the new floor tile.
  
• Bonus: go further and let us replace smaller chests by bigger chests
  
• Move objects/furtnitures -> "V Rising" even lets you move loaded chests around and I feel this should become the norm in those kind of games
  
• The inventory is a little weird, it's possible to have your cursor on an item icon but the highlight is still on the row under that one. Looks like the selection box is higher than the actual sprites.
  
• Be able to see how your character will look before crafting a cosmetic, also the cosmetic window is weird because when you select a piece of gear you can only go back with the exit key, you should add "back arrow" button or something.

Oh, and as a bonus (because it really change a lot how the game function, I know this will never make it but who knows^^') : get bullets back from a gun or at least get back some of the materials used in crafting ammo when you discard a full magazine of let's say fire bullet II to load your newly aquired fire bullet III (I'm an idiot and always load my guns before improving stuff :D)

You can't move furniture in this game? No way

You cant SORT; STACK; DROP ALL; LOCK ITEMS OR FILTER ... either.

in a game where you have to grab and juggle EVERYTHING thats within sight.
You can destroy enviroment and loot its parts - you HAVE TO in fact... and yet the menu management in this game, how items are handled, is the most primitive drag and drop or clunky menus with popup sidebars (adding more layers) ...

And those menus you always have to ESC out of.
not "i move and it closes" but lift the hand and hit ESC.

Doesnt sound bad eh?
well, do it 10000 times and tell me how you feel after that.

Its the little things that add up and up and up and up...
other reviews already mention this problem with the game.

shooting and such : good
menus and items : tedious

too bad the ladder is about 50% of the game!
nothing they cant fix with a few lines of code but UNTIL THEY DO........... well...........

ps. and craft from chests. yeah. no comment on that necessary

One would think they playtest their (own) game.
Dont tell me they did. Not true.
You dont play for more than 1-2 hrs before that kinda ♥♥♥♥ gets freaking annoying.

There are so many Quality of Life issues holding this game back and one can only hope they pull a 'WallWorld' and just smack those issues quickly. Then it can go bestseller for sure. but first this work has to be done.

the chest from crafting needs to be bigger area that or a different storage/sorting system for items something like minecraft mods with computers where you can build a terminal and search from all chests and craft from it too. (only an example)

Well luckily, as of December 21, 2024, many of these features were added! You were definitely not the only one that wanted this stuff added to the game lol

Ah, great to hear. Now may be a good time to start a new game :)

Currently replaying the game but I really don't feel it. Some bugs were fixed and I didn't get too far in building yet so it's hard to judge but the chests stuff is still not there.

My original post states we had to put chest at one tile and playing it now it seems to go up to 2 tiles so I guess this was improved? But it's still a mess. My camp is just craft station stacked around some chests that are very in the way when moving around :S

Ok, found some mod to increase the chest reach and it's a game changer :)

Now that I got further into the game, I also noticed it's way less frustrating. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what changed, small things here and there (you can replace chests by bigger chests, yay!) but it is better.

In case anyone find this useful, here's the mod I used, I tried another one who seems to be broken.
