Don't auto add to hot bar

Don't make picked up items directly go to the hotbar - just let us decide which items should be there and don't override it always after picking up something pls. (for example - one key just for torches - which gets always stumbled over, if you pick up another one and have a free hotkey yet - which is not good right now

Some players do not like it when items you pick up go in your next open hotbar slot. An option to disable this would be nice.

This definitely needs to be added. Its really annoying having multiple torches in the hotbar even though you already have one assigned.

Just would rather have item i pickup go into my inventory rather then into my hotbars

As the title states, the ability to disable auto-adding of items to hotbar is a definite necessity. I spend more time than needed dragging items from the hotbar to my backpack, and have even wasted items immediately after acquiring by trying to punch boxes.

Thank you.

Please add a button lock the toolbars(actionbars) so when you pick up new items they go into the backpack instead of the toolbar. It is very annoying that i cannot keep my toolbars neat and tidy with only the things i need at hand.

3 options
1. Add new items to hotbar until full, then add to inventory
2. Add new items to inventory until full, then inventory.
3. Never add items to hotbar.

An exception should be that if your backpack is full, then it uses hotbar slots. I don't want to be told my inventory is full when there are actually slots free albeit in inconvenient places.

This is so annoying. If my inventory was full, I'd have no problem with items being put on my hotbar, but when I still have free slots, I want them in my bag.

Yes! This please. I sometimes miss click my hotbar weapon or healing item and start drinking a random potion or raw meat. I also hate that its 1 hit use.

It’s very annoying that picking up any object puts it in my hotbar. Objects should fill the backpack first not go to the active hotbar first. The trickster skill where you get a magic unarmed attack is awful to use because you have to constantly clean junk from the open spot used to unarm attack. Even besides that the hotbar should not be auto filled.

Came here just for this, I'd really love to be able to stop everything I pick up from filling up my hotbar.

I keep consuming raw meat on accident.

It would be cool if this was optional.

Me: Picks up something awesome and it goes directly into the backpack

two seconds later I get 1 shot or fall into lava and loose w/e it was then rage quit *frowny face*

*facepalm* or add an optional preference...

It would be great if items removed by picking up would instead go straight to the hotbar so we can re-place them. Currently they're one of the few things that *avoid* the hotbar and end up in your backpack instead.

In base, please auto-add previously used items to the same spot, i.e. remember last used spot when moving/replacing/adjusting an item in base.
For example: when placing a table then wanting to move or adjust it, it ends up in inventory and needs to be put back into hotbar again and again and again...

Hotbars are not for random stuff like raw meat that poisons you. The hotbar is only for items added on purpose. I also agree with above, if my torch wears out then replace it from inventory though in this game you can repair torches so that might not work. I dunno, but random crap falling in the hotbar seems really weird.

There could be a “hotbar lock” option that would functionally do the same thing, and along with a way to tag items as “favorites.” This could also keep you from scrapping equipment on accident, which is a real bummer.

I say make it so only crafted things appear in the hotbar, not found things.

I unlocked the talent transforming the unarmed strike to a magical strike. Very often i'm finding myself eating a raw meat i looted because of your auto-add to the hotbar.
That's weird. I can't imagine anybody in the dev team had tested this feature seriously. It can't be. This feat is just an auto-fucking self.
I don't even mention the non-stop mental charge to check if my hotkey is still empty... all the way i'm playing.
This needs a locking option ASAP.
Thank you.

It's really needed ! So annoying to have items going to an empty slot when we pick up anything. When inventory is full it's needed, but not before

there is a skill that requires you to unarmed strike so it would be nice to always have that one free slot.

not all items goes into the hotbar tho. i pick up lights but it goes into backpack. i have to manually move it over to hotbar when i just want to simply reposition lights.

needs to have qol option to force it to backpack/hotbar.

Alex Merged

Yep, this is a good idea. I like to organize my hotbar and if something is missing i know i need to restock. With this current system some random item fills the spot and i don't notice if the previous item from that slot was consumed

Please remove the ability for inventory items to have priority in action bar slots. I go to transfer goods and goods dont transfer stacks because the stack of raw chicken is on my action bar and not in my inventory.

It is essential to have an empty hotbar slot for the "Begone!" skill.

Please let us lock hotbars.

I also feel that the option to choose whether picked up items are placed in the bag versus the hotbar should be available. The only instance where the bag would be a priority is if there is an existing, non-full stack there already. With the high frequency of managing inventory in Enshrouded. I feel that it's important to mitigate the number of annoyances, so that we can get back out into the world and continue our adventure and enjoyment.

It's also a matter of priority, the hotbars should be filled last, not first.

AGREED. This is a major OCD trigger, as I like my bars to be an exact way and cant help but constantly clean them and it is annoying for me personally.

also this breaks the "Begone!" skill because you need an unarmed slot.

Agree on this one -- it's frustrating to have skills require an empty slot on the hotbar but then have nearly everything you pick up auto-slot itself to that same hotbar. My play cycle as a ranger has consisted of craft arrows >> craft arrows >> craft arrows >> kill something >> loot something >> open inventory >> remove item from hotbar >> repeat.

When we pick up raw meat can you not allow it to go direct onto our bar please. Make it go into our backpak. Sometimes when in battle we select an item on our quick bar without looking it can be raw meat that we consume. It frustrating because we don't need raw meat on the bar unless we are ready to cook it. Collecting it straight onto the bar is a no no please. Thank You. Love the game and enjoying it thus far :-)

Please add the option to turn off items picked up being assigned to action bar. Trying to use an ability that requires UNARMED attack but it is never an empty slot for me to select to switch to unarmed attack to use the skill. Always filled every pick up.

To even have a skill that needs an empty slot but any crap on the ground will fill it??? QA needs some work. Never had another game like that.

Foxen is a little harsh - i've seen plenty of games with worse issues than this lol - but they're not wrong either. To use the Trickster punch, there seems to be no way to be "unarmed" other than to leave a slot on your hotbar empty.... and as soon as you pick something up, even if you have a dozen empty backpack slots, it's not empty any more. Either the skill needs to work differently, or this needs to be fixed. It's not QoL, it's about basic functionality of the skill in the game.

Avatar's comment got a lot of votes, but it will still break Trickster, so it's not a good idea as the skill currently is.
It might be better just to make Trickster work differently - OR, better yet, have a way to select "unarmed" / no weapon wielded, that doesn't depend on an empty hotbar slot.

Smart auto add to hotbar would be nice. I do not need raw meet on my hotbar. But when I craft tools, furniture and so on auto add to hotbar is very handy.
