Replace toolbar with bookmarks

Post by Rhamphoryncus »

Idea is to replace the toolbar with a set of bookmarks, assigned by middle click, middle clicking with an item in hand, or by dragging from the crafting menu.

Advantages
  • Displays total count of items in inventory, not just whatever partial stack is on the toolbar
  • Works even if bots steal your last item
  • Allows you to automate production of an item and place blueprints without picking it up yourself
  • One item can have multiple bookmarks without getting confused as to which slot has the stack or wasting space with extra stacks
Disadvantages
  • Less total inventory space (but this can be compensated by increasing the main inventory)
  • Less ability to subdivide stacks before ctrl-clicking them into something

+1 for this, or something similar as my toolbelt just becomes a series of blueprints with one item captured anyway.
