So, after finally getting on to check out this toolbelt situation..I can say I'm very displeased with how it works. It's hardly effective. You still have to take off whatever you have equipped currently and then when you go to perform your action desired then it auto-equips.
I find this to be pointless, it's just as easy to manually un-equip and re-equip.

Ok, so, apparently it's just with the scythe..

The Scythe and Pickaxe are only "useful" within the toolbelt if you leave the second toolbelt slot (considering a metal belt, not the poor man's belt) empty.

That's because of how the system is designed to work: to "swap" something it must empty BOTH hands in the toolbelt. So if you want to swap, for example, an axe and a T-Sack for a scythe, the second Toolbelt Slot must remain empty so the toolbelt will have a slot for the axe AND a slot for the T-Sack.

In simpler words: Two Handed items (Scythe, Pickaxe, Shovel, B12, etc...) will only function properly if you keep the second belt slot empty.

Practical example:

My miner currently works as I want him to. He uses 2 T-sacks and has a Pickaxe in his belt. When I tell him to mine, he stores both sacks in the belt and grabs the pickaxe.

I tried to keep (in his toolbelt) a pickaxe AND a metal axe (to cut wood and build pillars) but when I tried that, it would mine with the axe. Why? Because it didn't have 3 slots in the belt (for both sacks and the axe) when the Pickaxe was "needed" - so he used the axe instead and kept one sack + pickaxe in toolbelt.

So that's it. Until we have 3+ slots in belts, two handed items will need to be "alone" in a two slot belt.

i mine with a pickaxe and 2 tsacks. i just keep the 2 slot belt open all the time and have one tsack on hotkey. just manage your space better and it'll work for you >>

it's a feature and it's nice. don't like it? don't use it haha
and i imagine the 3 slot belt will take hard leather and iron with some fancy silk embroidery to fit a gold belt buckle with some silver details... or take a troll skull maybe

We should get a toolbelt that counts as a 2x2 space but decreases your movement speed by 5% or something. Also we should get a backpack that decreases movement speed but gives a shitton extra space.

Ohhhh ok. I get it now, thank you for helping me understand that better. Now I'll know how to utilize the belt better.
