Multiple Wheels for Hotbar and Mutation Loadouts

So far really enjoying the game, but something I just can't get over is that you don't have more than one wheel for the hotbar (and there are less spots) to cycle through for weapons, consumables, gear, etc. You can't even have a full weapon loadout without having to sacrifice healing or gear. I don't know why they did not bring that over from the last game as it really helps round out the combat aspect, especially since they have a ton of great new gear and weapons in this one. Having to go into the main inventory to grab a different weapon or consumable while I'm getting wrecked by a mantis is not my idea of a good time... Same goes for the mutation wheel hotbar, I don't even bother using most of the other mutations because its ridiculous to have to go into the main menu, switch to the mutations tab and exit back out while in combat, Instead I just keep it on one or try to remember to change it before going into a specific zone, but then that makes it feel like having some of the mutations is useless since it is difficult to swap through for different bugs on the fly. That being said I am happy they did passives for the weapons as that would, theoretically, let you use more mutations if I had the option to quickly cycle through them. I 'd say that you don't need the quick-craft hotbar since if I am in a safe enough spot to craft then I can just go into the main menu. I don't think the message hotbar is worth it either, If have time to type then I'm clearly not being ambushed by a wolfspider and can also just go into the menu. And I know you can do the multiple wheels since you have it for the freaking emotes.... I have multiple wheels for emotes, but not weapons. Which I need. So I don't die.

Side note: I agree with some of the other users that the omnitool (90% love it) can be a little tedious when your buggy walks in front of you. The building is also not as complete as the last game. Was able to build a base that went around the entire oak tree in G1 and now I am not able to build up stairs past a certain level if I don't have a good enough foundation.
