Smaller bugs and feedback: Sorting. I can't get sorting in my inventory to work when I have a chest open. Pressing the sort button or key do nothing. I can't get sorting in chests to work at all. If I open a drying rack, "w" isn't an option unless I also have an empty slot selected in my inventory. The default is that the upper level square is selected, so if there is something there, I have to manually select an empty slot for "w" to work. It really should have the same behavior as looting a corpse... merge with existing items or take the next slot. I really need multiple hotbars, like Grounded 1. One hotbar for weapons, one for consumables. I never really needed the 3rd, but it was handy to swap armor or trinkets. A single hot bar doesn't cut it. The hotbar should show and be accessible when mounted. I shouldn't have to dismount or use the inventory to eat shrooms or light a torch. I've noticed several times that if I use the mouse to click a button in the inventory, the escape keyboard key no longer escapes the dialog. I can click the on screen escape button though. I agree with a previous poster that I should be able to lock some inventory items. I'm able to manage items like mushrooms and arrows (and weapons ) by only storing them in chests that don't hot-sort. But I like to keep a stack of clover for making markers without it getting sucked off me when I click "n".

Omni tool feedback. I like having the tool being abstract better. I didn't like having to carry around (and pointlessly repair) 4 tools, 6 weapons and consumables. The tools used too much inventory. Repairing the wrench (over and over) while repairing my hard-built house is disheartening. The omni tool makes that a little less painful. However, I don't like is so much activity tied to the E button where I don't have enough control. I'm chopping grass even though I'm trying to pick up an item. I'm mounting my ant even though I'm trying to bust a tooth. Nothing catastrophic but it keeps happening. Unfortunately, I don't have a suggested solution. I'll experiment with remapping the omni tool to another key.

I died 3 times yesterday and each time, my backpack was below the surface. Once I could see it 3 cm down. Another time I stood right over it and looking down, didn't get a distance. the 3rd time, it moved to the starting location by itself but still inaccessible. In none of these did I die on a strange surface where the location of the backpack should have been in question. In all 3 instances, I did a game restore and the backpacks moved to the starting location but were still inaccessible. I then quit and reloaded and *then* they were on the surface and accessible. I'm playing single player in a hosted multiplayer game. Not sure if that matters. Interestingly, I've never had troubles with my backpack when other players were in my game.

My ant mount is too needy. Any time I need to "E" to do an activity (dig, pick up, break things), my ant must constantly put its nose in my way and force me to mount it. Its like a needy puppy, I can't get anything done. The ant really should try to keep a little distance so its not blocking me from doing other things.
