[0.17] Global hotbars - Decouple hotbars from specific saves

Post by Hexicube »

The new hotbar has a couple of downsides:

- Filters have to be set straight away on a new save or you end up checking your inventory (burner mining, stone furnace, etc.)
- Filters do not carry over between saves, making it harder to remember what you put where

Both of these would be solved with a global hotbar system, where you set the hotbars to be used everywhere:

- Personal option to enable/disable global hotbars for the current save or server
- Editing hotbars whilst global hotbars are enabled edits the saved hotbars, that are then used everywhere you have the option enabled
- Turning global hotbars on after making edits with them off loses those edits

There's 100 hotbar slots in total, which is hopefully enough to put everything buildable on there.

The issue being "I don't want to spend all my time redoing my quickbars", I suggest giving a look at this topic, with an alternative suggestion to the same issue :

Has anything been done on this ? It's kind of pretty significant

No, not yet. We're still hoping :).

Am I like the only one who's constantly changing my toolbar layout and thus the layout from one minute to the next, let alone game, isn't the same and thus I feel this feature not worth while? :)
