Would be good to be able to put them in the grinder to break them down again.

We also need the arch wall piece to come in other materials as well, such as asphalt and grass/stem.

This has been a long requested option. Especially necessary with the arch mushroom wall.

I like the idea of having crafted items not being hot deposited (and aligns with how they also now stay in inventory on death whereas materials drop with the back pack). However you should be able to set a chest to allow hot deposit or not (thought this was added in a previous patch). Better option would be able to "lock" items in your backpack.

The issue, as pointed out, is that to remove the grind of quartzite and marble they added a worse grind for rare bug parts. What they should do is, again as pointed out, make quartzite respawn like it used to, and make it the part necessary to craft the upgraded variants (and same for marble). For example, 5 quartzite can be baked with tough gunk (or some other bonding agent) to create 1 sturdy quartzite. And 5 sturdy to make 1 supreme. Allowing those to then be refined back into the proper whetstones. Respawn rates for quartzite can be 3 days, maybe higher for sturdy or supreme (up to 7?), If at all for those. This gives you at least the option to go on semi-regular resource runs. It certainly shouldn't be dependent on random rare drops and the law of diminishing returns. Every frequently "processed" item in the game has consistent farming options based on recipe item respawn locations. Only "one time" (yes, you can make multiple versions of the same item if you want) craftable items like weapons, armors, and trophies should require the RNG rare item drops.

I wish instead of a set default of 8hours, or 6am wake tine that they allowed you to essentially set your own sleep timer and schedule, but if you slept less than the 8 hours you'd get a small debuff (reduces max stamina and recovery) depending on how many hours you select. This allows players to choose when they sleep and wake up, Incase they want to rest for a night run or take a debuff but still wake up at dawn.

Looks like they are fixing this in the upcoming 1.1 update.

New test patch notes sound great.

Can make it so that you hold both LT and RT to block.

This is being implemented in the 1.1 update as per the preview video shared by the devs.

Correct, but you also seem to forget that many players are also on console so the idea of hot keys isn't quite the same for them as those on PC. Either way, the name and UI have it set up to be distinctively different, so it should function that way as well. And most backpacks have side pouches and pockets, or buckles and straps with which to hold and attach items outside the main compartment. There are many games that have inventory storage that functions this way.

I like this concept

Great suggestions. One thing to note, the soda can on the picnic table is accessible without building...you can actually simply jump on the lip of the lid then in through the hole. It doesn't look like it, but it is possible. As for the pre-placed Zipline structure before the bird bath, I agree this is badly placed and should be moved. However you can build a zipline anchor (the smaller one made from bee parts) and attach it to the hedge trunk within, and then attach a zipline to that base (or at least you used to be able to) but it is still not intuitive to do this. They should have had a base on both sides and only need the silk to connect them as a mini tutorial on creating ziplines.

You can climb the large flowers around the pond and chop them to drop petals.

It's not strange logic, as items assigned to Hot Pouch still take up inventory. I'm referring to potential free backpack space versus functional space. And yes, this is overall a positive and people don't need to use the new Hot Pouch slots (making the ratio 40:8 with 32 potential other spots). However I'm guessing people will want to especially late game when your going through the upper yard encountering high level enemies with specific weapon counters and weaknesses, and resource or lab runs with the chance for discovery of new or other valuable items/resources, since that has been the major complaint so far. Even if you carry the bare minimum with you, because of the random things you can find and often want to take with you (i.e. supreme nuggets each giving 3 types of resources, or a Omni-chest having multiple rare resources or food items) that takes up inventory very quickly. And, yes, this means people have to prioritize when taking stuff, but again, more often than not, this will force players to stop their run and return to base to empty their backpack, just to go right back to what they were doing. And worse if their armor is near breaking and they get into that one encounter that breaks it and the armor drops automatically because the backpack is full, they sometimes don't realize it and lose the armor piece. This has been the main concern with players. While new inventory space and hot pouches helps address the issue, it doesn't truly solve it like making hot pouch assigned items not take up backpack space, or pinning items in the backpack to avoid when constantly equipping different items causes the backpack inventory to shift around and lose sorting. Again, these would be relatively minor QoL changes that would have much larger impact than just adding more inventory. I could also add that for pre-assigning hot pouch slots for weapon item types, to have more options based on the weapon classes beyond just melee or ranged. So instead to also include stabbing, breaking, slashing, etc, or salty, fresh, etc, or shields, smoothies, helmets, etc.

Loving the stuff presented in the 1.1 preview, especially the new expanded backpack and additional Hot Pouch options. However, the new Hot Pouch options, which gives up to 24 slots, are going to immediately negate the extra backpack storage for the simple fact that items assigned to the Hot Pouch still take up backback inventory. So the original ratio was 30:8 leaving you up to 22 spots for other items to carry. The new ratio is 40:24, only giving 16 extra spots. Yes, you can carry more items overall, but it doesn't help with going on resource runs when you are effectivley carrying weapons and food/healing items for any occasion/encounter. This is only exacerbated that when you are equipping different itemsfrom the Hot Pouch, they go back to any available slot in the backpack making sorting inefficient if not pointless with a full backpack. Clearly will see when we get this in game, and am optimistic about the new features, just need this other Quality of Life change to go with it. Items assigned to the Hot Pouch (or at least the "primary" Hot Pouch) should be set to not take inventory space. This would make them funciton like the Glider/Trinket as well as Armor slots. (Also, please create separate slots for Trinket and for Glider...please?...as both are often needed at the same time) Additionally, equipped armor, if broken, should not unequip and be added to the backpack (or worse if the backback is full, drop on the ground) and should stay equipped but lose all the benefits of it until repaired or switched.

Half stairs, and a set of mushroom stairs that are L shaped but are half stairs at each turn (to compliment the leaf strait stair and acorn 180* curved stair).

I'm just going to repeat this here, as I agree late game inventory management while going on resource runs is a pain.

Agree on separate trinket and glider slots, as they have two very different functions/uses, and are almost always both needed. Most inventory issues could be alleviated if they made items equiped to the Hot Pouch not take up Backpack inventory space, similar to how armor and the trinket slots function. That, and if something breaks it stays in the slot but is unusable/doesn't give perks, and not defaults back to the backpack or worse drop on the ground.

Love that many of the ideas on this original post were implemented in 1.0 and post launches patches so far. So thank you to the Devs!

As we move beyond 1.0, thought this might be worth revisiting. Ant drumsticks, yes?

Since the 1.0 launch, still feel this needs to be revisited. While I have since remapped RB to equip Hot Pouch slot 1 and is my default weapon, and is almost always more useful than huck, there are those few times huck would be beneficial when holding specific items like bombs, planks/stems, or pebbles, etc.

Another small QoL request... Please adjust the recipe for the zipline base to only need 5 weed stems instead of 6. Wth the 4 legs and crossbar, 5 stems makes more sense then 6. Especially given that when you need to carry the stems to place the zipline base, in most situations you're only able to carry the max of 5 at a time (unless wearing the Red Ant armor, but that is usually only in specific instances and not general exploration), so to get a base on any elevated terrain is a hassle. Thank you.

Yeah, this has been a bug for a while and really should be fixed.

I agree with the option to lock or pin items in the backpack inventory.
