"Toss one item" hotkey is malfunction

it shared "left click" with "grab item" in default, but remapping any key doesn't actually change anything: click on some item-hover to the sea- click again, then one item tossed. But it should work like "Toss entire stack": click on some item, then toss it, without hovering. Or this function is simply be unnecessary.

2 suggestions:

• Display details of each area on the World Map, simply by hovering.
  
• Turn pages of each tab in the Shipping Station, by A/D or mouse wheel.

• Bug description - Sometimes Loddles think you have a full party with you when it's empty/you have no other Loddles with you.
• Steps to reproduce the bug - Unsure, I've had it happen a few times when traveling to different sanctuaries to check on my Loddles and clean them.
• Expected result/actual result - Loading to the main menu and loading back in fixes it so it's not really a major issue, just a minor inconvenience.

Request: Inventory Upgrade
The inventory grids are plenty at first, but after few areas cleaned, it becoming limited for vast kinds of junk. Since we can upgrade our gun, suit, car... should be able to upgrade our backpack too.

It should start scrubbing if you press left click (mouse) or right trigger (controller). Similar to the Bubble Gun and Scrap Vac, it only works when activated!

I don't know if this is a Loddlenaut bug or a steam bug: I used Steam Input to swap LT and RT and the result was that both buttons worked as both buttons. That is, rather than LT becoming my cleaning gun and RT becoming the item handler control, pressing LT would both scrub and spit out my inventory, and the same for RT.

Steam (PC), Windows 10, Canada

I've shared that layout on the community layouts if that helps for seeing if I did something wrong with it. I already miss the old Steam customizer, which was un-intuitive but definitely worked haha.

Oh weird, that definitely could be Steam-related. We'll look into this and see what could be the issue. Thank you for sharing the community layout, that is very helpful!

I've been experiencing an issue that might be Steam Input related. It appears to swap between KB/M and a phantom controller. This causes my mouse cursor to revert back to the center as it rapidly swaps. If I am not using the KB, it will show ??? for the inputs. If I hold down a KB button, even one that is not in use, the behavior goes away and it stays on KB/M inputs and I can play as expected.

Platform: Steam, OS: Windows 10 Home, Region: Germany
The game itself is really great. It's very calm and relaxing. But now comes my problem: I played for about 3 hours and then the game crashed. All the parts I had collected were gone. All the cleaned areas were dirty again. To put it briefly: everything was reset to zero. An autosave would be really useful here, but unfortunately it's not available.
