Description
The quickbar is a user interface element used for common shortcuts, activities, and item activation.
The quickbar has two main areas:
- The tool area, which is the upper area of the quickbar and contains 12 slots for holding items, including tools, for quick activation.
- The button area, which is the lower area of the quickbar and contains 12 slots for quickbar buttons linked to common windows, actions, and toggles.
The tool area can be used even without owning or equipping a Toolbelt. However, automatic item selection while performing actions requires a toolbelt to be equipped.
Quickbar tool area
- The tool area is the upper area of the quickbar and contains 12 slots for items, including tools.
- Items can be dragged from the inventory onto tool area slots.
- Items can be removed by dragging them off the quickbar.
- Clicking an item in a tool area slot will activate it.
- The tool area changes based on the selected tab, allowing multiple sets of items or tools to be used.
- Putting a container in the tool area and activating it selects items in the container if there are any. This is especially useful when sowing large fields or attaching many identical items to large creations such as ships.
- Filling several containers and placing them in the tool area can allow many attach or sow actions to be queued using a keybind without using the mouse.
Tool area tabs
- The tool area can have separate tabs, which can be used like loadouts for different sets of items, such as tools.
- New tabs can be added by pressing the plus button next to the existing tabs.
