Improve Tool Switching

[shredmentalism]

Please improve the controls. Right now, it takes too many steps just to gather resources. I have to open the inventory, select an axe or pickaxe, close the inventory, and only then can I start chopping wood or mining stone. This feels unnecessarily cumbersome. It would be much more convenient if switching to the required tool required fewer actions.

Yeah, I think I gave this input during the demo. I don't know if the demo was worse or I'm more feeling tolerant right now but it's not bugging me as much but is still could be improved. Really a system like most cozy games have where you just switch to the tool makes it active would be fine. Not sure why you have to tell it to equip. Or even if you equip it it auto closes the inventory would be a good improvement.

Try watering and have the thing think you want to send a message and not be able to get out of it.

I'm confused as to what you mean? Say you have your Axe in slot 1, you just press 1 on your keyboard and you have the axe out and can swing it by left clicking on your mouse, just like any other game in this harvest moon like genre.

So to gather crops, you press E to harvest, say you need to weed out the field you press the key you have the hoe on, then you press the key the watering can is on and water the field and it's ready for a new plant.
