The game needs a quick move to hotbar from inventory to open hotbar slot. Also, the hot bar should wrap around rather than stop on either end.
It would be a nice feature to have for those of us who like to play with a gamepad.

Considering the focus on crafting and how you have to place things, not having a way to do this seems like a pretty big oversight.

It'd also be nice if it switched with the item in the last slot if the item bar is full. This would make moving resources around much more intuitive.

Also, it would be nice if the hotbar wrapped around, going from the last slot to the first or vice versa. Most other games that have them do this, and my muscle memory keeps trying to scroll past the last slot over to the first one.

edit:
so sorry - I didn't see the gamepad part there

We were chatting about the hotkey bars here, if it helps:

Hi darthokkata,

Thanks for the feedback!

The dev team are still making adjustments to the controller side of things, so I will pass these comments over to them. The hotkey bar wrap around could be useful, so I will definitely mention this!

Hey darthokkata =)

On pc, hit R (by default) to move any selected item from your hotkey bar to your inventory or vice versa.

Thanks, that helps.

I didn't even think to bind that, but the gamepad controls really need a key that does the same thing.

I also think it would be a good idea if it switched with the last slot on the hotbar if the hotbar is already full. That would be especially useful for when you need to hold items to build or use things.

Super glad I've got this on PC and Steam so I can do things like this. The controller configuration feature is probably one of my favorite features on Steam.

Having a Steam Controller is also really nice, those two grip triggers are a lifesaver for when I want to move gamepad controls and add keyboard functions without leaving buttons unaccounted for.

At my desk I use a KB+M like most PC gamers, but games like this I like to play from the couch, where KB+M aren't really feasible.

so sorry about that darthokkata,
I just edited my initial post because I had not seen the "gamepad" part of your post, and gave you a "pc" reply

It was useful because I'm playing on PC and am able to bind KB+M controls because of the Steam Controller Configuration Menu. I just like playing "chill" games like this from my couch with a gamepad a lot of the time. I play Stardew Valley the same way.

Maybe I should do that too - I've never used one (on a pc); this is definitely the right type of game for the relax on the couch thing=)

I actually wanted to suggest those two features myself, I'm glad that someone else finds it useful as well.

So when you crafting something in the assembly bay you need to have items in QuickBar to put them into construction area.
I often have my items somewhere in the inventory, so I need to open inventory and go to item, then press X button and then go down to QuickBar and press A button.

It would be nice to have a hotkeys in Inventory screen that would remove items from QuickBar to empty Inventory slot.
And a second hotkey that would put an item to empty QuickBar slot.

e.g.

Press Y in Inventory screen to remove item from QuickBar.

Press X then Y to instantly move item into empty QuickBar slot.


BTW, I play this game on xbox 360 compatible gamepad.

This thread is old but was the first one that came up when I googled this subject (I am a brand new player in 2020).

This can now be done by selecting the item with left click then pushing "R" by default. You can't just mouse-over it, you have to actually left click it. I think making it mouse-over would be ideal but having the function at all is nice.

Sorry to necro the thread, just didn't want to start a brand new one over the same thing :squirtmeh:
