Please, I beg you, assign consumables to the same slot when retrieving corpse items

[w00t]

As title says, I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally drank a garlic potion when trying to drink a health potion mid-fight because it gets assigned to the slot my health potion was in when I pick up my things after I've died.

Your weapons respect the same slots they were assigned in when you pick them up, I don't know why this isn't the case for everything you had on your hot bar.* It really needs to be fixed, imo.

* It's been pointed out that I'm dumb and you keep the weapons upon death, so ofc they're going to stay in the same hotbar slot.

For some reason death bags drop in one order, and then get picked back up in the exact opposite order. This is fairly consistent so clealy the solution is to not do that.

Weapons don't drop, so they don't get scrambled.

A good solution to this would be to have them bound too if you had them equipped in the slots.

That's... actually a great point lol I was too blind my frustration to realize that at first.

With the one exception that it seems like it does try to preserve at least what was on your hotbar, just in the wrong order, but yeah that would be the simplest solution if that's the case.

it dont even preserve the item order in hotbar. i keep potions in my hotbar, but when retreveing my body... it always puts seeds and hearts in those slots instead of the potions. i myself wish the devs would fix this, or let you put a phantom image lock on the slot so it always puts the same object there

Huh I haven't had that problem yet myself, just that they tend to be in reverse order, but yeah there should definitely be consistency as far as keeping your items assigned to the slot they were in when retrieving your items from your corpse, especially in a high risk PvP kind of game.

Yes , agree !

I should absolute control over what gets put on my hot bar. Why are there no auto assign settings? So basic.
