bro i don’t even need the format this is so simple clears throat
Add a toggle in the settings to where items you obtain that go into the backpack but you do not have any of will not automatically be placed into your hotbar if there is room. It is toggled on by default (current backpack behavior) and can be disabled. Separate toggles for charts (treasure charts and sea charts included in the same toggle) and all other items.
this also lets me bring up the glitch where if you don’t have bones/scales on you and a fish rots in your inventory when you join the game, it messes up your hotbar
id assume he didnt make it like that on purpose, and spending time on fixing that aint worth it imo. like theres almost no way you dont use all the slots of your hotbar to begin with
everyone at least has
2 fighting tools
1 repair hammer
1 fishing rod
1 shovel
ideally 1 food slot
meaning 3 slots left for whatever such as charts, ingredients, potions, whatever which i didnt list as necessary cuz not everyone has those at all time, and thats assuming you are a mage, paladin, berserker, warlock or juggernaut as all other builds have more fighting tools
personally my hotbar is pretty minimalist- both magics, gale potions, vindicator, and 2 open slots which I usually use for things like repair hammers or shovels or fishing rods
