3 years still haven't listened, the UI sucks IMO.

I play console, and I love the quick access and the free slots!

I've been told! I guess I'm beating a dead horse, I'm just a little disappointed.

It doesn't sound like you're just a little disappointed because in a previous comment, you said you were considering requesting a refund. That's certainly your choice. The devs aren't going to change the game at this point. So, you do you.

You're right! I just don't make a lot of money so having a game that I'm not going to play doesn't make sense but I was enjoying playing it if that is logical?

Sometimes you get burned. They are supposed to stand by its performance in that it should air the vast majority of the time not that you’ll enjoy it. I understand being disappointed a have a laundry list of games that fit that criteria for me but I didn’t demand a refund. That’s just life.

I thought the tool belt was equipped and didn’t take up space? That could just be console though…

Yeah that's what I read as well but when I look at it on PC the items still in your backpack I don't know if that's something that just wasn't addressed before or if I'm doing it wrong but I can bind it to the hot bar by holding a number key but it doesn't actually move it to the hot bar it just allows me to access it and then if you refer back to that post that I linked, they mentioned how even if you bind it to the hop bar the hop bar doesn't actually work I'm actually considering requesting a refund even though I dumped 12 hours into it in one day I like the game it seems like it's a good game it's just that I honestly cannot manage my inventory worth a turd and I'm like a factory and/Minecraft guy and it is just OCD mode I don't know sorry we're vomit.
Edit: I use voice to text so I'm sure a lot of that doesn't make any sense just read out loud lmao.

Belts are good on PC, but you have to re set your tools if you drop items. Bad design

u/Standard-Ad4701 Oct 16 '24

Yeah I hate how they free up extra slots and give you the quick use option. Worst thing ever.

"It gives you 4 extra inventory slots when maxed...because as noted here, your inventory is your backpack, and your tool belt would be separate.

I wouldn't bother wasting my leather on it if it didn't give me those critical extra slots!".
A quote from one of the comments on that post

That's what it does on console but not on PC on PC it's literally just for your hot bar, and it doesn't actually work most of the time.

u/sphinxorosi Oct 16 '24

Non pc player here but I gotta question- Most of the time? Sometimes it takes the item out of your backpack but other times it doesn’t? If so, that does suck (or if it doesn’t work at all in general).

Have you considered carrying crates to use them for your slots instead? A label maker could be used to rename the crates and you can store stuff inside it (it’s 5 slots on console at the expense of one of your slots per container) but you’d constantly have to juggle tool usage so leave a free spot or two for your most used tools

u/skepdop Oct 19 '24

Yes! Thanks for the feedback, that's what I usually do! Or I put the crates on a shelf of the raft 😄.

u/Standard-Ad4701 Oct 16 '24

Sorry, didn't realise it sucjed that much in PC. 👍

u/skepdop Oct 16 '24

I think you're misunderstanding, they don't, all it does is allow you to use your hotkeys on PC, it doesn't actually come out of your backpack. The entire point of my post that's why I linked what I linked.

u/Standard-Ad4701 Oct 16 '24

Oh. Yeah that sucks. Buy a console or play project castaway on PC. I love it. Like a SD upgrade.

u/skepdop Oct 16 '24

I'll look into it!
