{{infobox|New functionality: Added 9th December 2014. This page is still work in progress. Please don't add every single button available to all actions as this could lead to the page becoming unmanageable. Also some users may see outdated images on this page due to some caching issues. Once my own browser shows the correct images I will edit this notice. ~ Marni/bwg}}== Additional Usage Notes ==

In the example image shows the options available when clicking on a cave floor with a pickaxe activated. Notice The [[examine]] option, the eye, will always be visible for all selected objects. Next, there is [[track]], [[mine]], [[prospect]], flatten, and [[pray]].)  *Typically , most options available from the right-click interface will be here show up in the select bar as descriptive icons. The order of actions in the [[context menu]] also corresponds to the order of selected bar buttons.

It is important to also note, however, but remember that if the player is too far from the object they are trying to interact with, an action may not be possible, even if it's displayed here or on the context menu.
*Below the object name is a small progress bar and to below that is a health bar. To the right of that these bars are: an empty box, a button for left-clicking to open the [[context menu ]], and a button for toggling the visibility of hotkey textwhich is bound to a button.
