Easier way to eat/drink/heal maybe?

[★ 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖑𝖑𝖞 𝕮𝖍𝖎𝖑𝖎 ★]

I really miss that feature where you just push down a button and a menu comes down on what you want to do, for instance eat, drink or heal. In some games I've played I just hold down the tab and a menu comes up and I can choose either what weapon I want to use, eat, drink or set up a fire (The Long Dark has an awesome solution for that). Sure the Easy access-thing is good but I feel it would be easier if dev's just put this feature in the already existing menu you get when you hold down tab for pee, poo, vomit, commands etc.

Hello :),

First of all thanks for your contribution. In SCUM, the most important thing is to plan ahead. While some actions are "natural" in nature, others depend on how well you prepare.

Thanks to the quick bars, you can achieve a lot here in order to take things quickly in your hand, to get your weapons ready or to be able to use objects quickly as thrown weapons.

I have actually always found the quick bars to be very helpful for me, especially on longer scouting trips, and with a little practice they can certainly be a good support for everyday life in SCUM.

Personally, I would just hope that you can use items in your hands with their Prior activity, like pressing the "R" key on the chainsaw to start them up. But who knows what the future holds here. :)

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion, we will take it into consideration but no promises tho. SCUM is aimed to be more realistic and complicated survival experience so sometimes the easiest solution is not the best one.

One thing I actually really like about scum is the complexity and that it's NOT all done in one click.
I don't like "arcadey" games, let alone survival games.
I wouldn't even need any quick stash or sort buttons for the inventory. That's all just lazy imo. Survival means to put (at least) SOME effort into it.
That's what makes Scum stand out and makes it unique in a way.
All other games just do what all other games do.
I think Scum should keep it's uniqueness.

I do agree, however, if a item is in your hand already and the item has a purpose like a opened can of food or a snack that does not need to be opened like :"Is tagged with "EAT" a keypress for actually eating or using something in your hands would be helpfull. It is still determined by what you select and prepare but you can skip the open, press eat, close inventory steps just for using an item that is already in your hands. :)

the thing is, you need to choose what you want to eat. a rotten onion or a cooked steak? drink alcohol, water, soda or fuel? if it turns to mindless one click eat, one click drink, im out.

LOL both

but he clearly dosnt know you can add the food you wanna eat to the hot bar then just mash the button to eat without "one click, one click one click"

it becomes "one click, MASH MASH MASH MASH"
