Loadouts

[^_^]

Is there a shortcut button for hotswapping loadouts on the fly? i have one for mining and one for combat, but if something attacks me im already at a loss and taking a ton of damage just to clunkily go into the menu to click a second loadout. If there isnt could this be added please?

In the meantime, here's a temporary solution, and one I use.

Put some walls on your hotbar, easily selectable. In case of impending combat, place the walls around you, then swap loadouts, then remove the walls. Walls should be low tier so easily removable without mining boosts.

i always have walls and bridges in the hotbar, i do hope they make a quick swap key for the loadouts though

Just commenting to up this discussion. I think having a shortcut button for loadouts would be a great addition. I found this discussion because I wanted to suggest it anyhow. Using F1/2/3 would be easy enough or even Ctrl+1/2/3 for those that like to use 10keyless.

This, loadouts are great and being able to quick swap them would be fantastic

glad to see others feel the same way

This would be absolutely amazing and I would go even further by adding more loadouts to the mix. Maybe 5? This would be so good. More could even be better for combinations of set bonuses like walking over mold, poison immune.. But with 5 I would already be super happy and using them like this:

1 - Combat Melee Set
2 - Ranged Set
3 - Farming Set(Harvesting)
4 - Fishing Set
5 - Cosmetic Set OR Specific Set Bonus

Having more loadouts AND being able to hotkey them? Devs please... It should be an EASY copy paste of your code and an insurmountable quality-of-life update!




EDIT: One more BIG feature and also a quality-of-life improvement would be automatically turning off the special abilities/powers you get from defeating the bosses when you're at your base(the harmful ones) - Just had Azeos's beam delete some chests and rooms while relocating chests..

I know these can be turned on/off manually but if you happen to forget doing that...

YES! More loadouts for specific builds would be great. It's rough having to choose which 3 you'll have, so I feel like 1 is just combat, 1 is for a specific job and 1 is for fun, but if we had more loadouts, we could tailor ourselves to how we want to approach the game.

Also, I never thought about the Azeos beam destroying base stuff, but it would be nice to have a quick toggle, whether by hotkey or clickable up by the HP bar. They could be a permanent icon to the left of the buffs, so the buffs appear after them. Translucent icons when off and colored icons while on.

Some good ideas here.

Yup, all of this. Mining, fishing, melee, ranged, and farming perhaps, too. There are so many rings and necklaces that having to switch armor/jewellery/weapons etc is so bloody tedious. It's nearly a grind in and of itself; god forbid you accidentally stumble into something heavy without the right loadout. I hope it was just an unfortunate oversight, because it should have been in the game right from the get go.

I'm no uber MLG gamer I assure you, but funny story - I walked into Igneous by mistake, not paying attention at all at the time. I got a rude awakening and then had to fight tooth and nail to destroy the fiery lump before it destroyed me. Wearing mining gear, no buffs, nothing... panic setting in steadily as the situation I found myself in finally unravelled in my smooth brain,

I won the fight though - hella good fun.

Edit: And the Cipher dropped.

THAT would scare the crap out of me, hahaha!! I *have* stumbled into death unprepared more than once; have had to make a new boat several times because of those $%T^£ tentacles! That is hella expensive. I thought ''speeder'' suggested ''you can outrun ranged tentacles''....well, you can. Sometimes. But not when you race right into a pinchpoint on an undiscovered map area absolutely lined with dozens of the effers. XD

Good on you, though. I'll be contacting you when I finally get to the desert. XD
