show what equipment can go in which slot

[electra heart]

is there a mod or setting or something to only show equipment that can go in whatever slot you are looking it (or the converse, only show slots in which i can use the equipment im looking at)? i've been running half the game with gas masks on my face-mulch to no effect, and i just checked the wiki and mulch is considered "roots." big oops, would like not to have to cross-check the wiki for every weird appendage my chimera grows

Only the clay pot should fit in that. That bodyparts basically says "+3AV".

By default using the equipment screen should only have the categories extended that contains items that can be of use in that slot. This is not fully true for the thrown slot though as e.g. throwing axes are not shown by default.

If you press 'right' on keyboard in inventory menu by default or 'enter' then equip (auto) that item should go into correct body slot, but if it's some rubbish it will go into your hand instead

for sure, but when you're a multi-limbed chimera with really weird limbs, this doesn't help, because "auto" will go into the first possible slot it can if they're all full. so it doesn't help me to understand whether or not a tail is a hand, because itll just go into my main hand slot.
and the reverse too, if i go click on my tail it shows me all kinds of armor so i dont know if its a head slot an arm slot etc. the only thing it filters out is weapons vs armor

It should not show you anything at all if you click your tail and "auto" should replace a full slot, not put it into some random empty slot. Are you playing on the beta?

yeah replace a full slot, but for example if i auto a weapon, it always replaces my primary limb hand first. this is not helpful in determining which of my other limbs are "hands" because i know my primary hand is a hand. i am on the 7th plague beta yep

Multiple people have reported that you can equip all kinds of items on all limbs since a recent update on that branch, without the items doing anything. This might be your issue. If you have some problems with some stuff with the game, it is always a good idea to check if the current stable branch has the same issue.
