Trash slot quick tranfer for machines

Post by Ranakastrasz »

The hotkey for quicktranfer is the same as the hotkey as tranfer to hotbar, so if you try to quickly trash machines or anything else that defaults to going to hotbar, it goes to hotbar, or does nothing if the bar is full.

That is intentional behavior.

Ouch.

That makes trash slots significantly less useful.

This is going in suggestions then.

That is nice, but what would you suggest? If they move to trashslots, someone other would want to change it back, as his items are moving to trash slot instead of quick bar.

Second hotkey. Click with hotkey on item, or drag then place with hotkey.

I'm really afraid to add another hotkey combinations, I feel we have enough of all the shift+ click, control + click, control + shift + click, and in the inventory versus in the game etc. This is starting to be too much.

This is why we made the logic, when it is buildable it goes to quickbar, when not, it goes to trash slots. It should help that it works as intended in most cases (full inventory of wood/cool etc). And in some other cases, it just have to be put there manually.

Understandable.

I would suggest that dragging the item, and holding ctrl or other hotkey when releasing it in the slot should move all of that type.
Wouldn't show up in any other situation, since you have to specifcally drag items to the trash slot, but is still easier to use.
