Please auto switch to shovel on stump removal

[squeezy102]

Please and thank you.

The shovel is the most efficient tool for the job when removing a stump (at least that I currently have)

The shovel should switch to my hand if I'm removing a stump and I have a shovel in my belt.

It should not attempt to remove a stump with an axe. Why would anyone ever remove a stump with an axe?

In nearly every other case in the game, the game auto-selects the right tool for the job.

I don't know why tree stumps are treated differently.

cause tecnically the axe is the optimal tool for the destroy action, exept pickaxe and sledgehammer,
tree stumps just are special in requiring the shovel
its still dumb

There are so many edge cases where the belt's auto-switcher doesn't do what I want it to.

I would personally prefer the belt never actually switch what you have equipped, but change your animation & give you the benefit of everything in your belt.

give you the benefit of everything in your belt.

This, having to switch into a stone axe from a sword every time i want to butcher things during a hunt is just a bitch (Admittedly aggro'ing a moose with a stone axe in hand is funny) But it'd be kind of confusing if you had let's say a butcher's cleaver ql 30 and stone axe q 90 in your belt, should it give you the speed on cleaver and q of axe?
I think maybe we should be able to select preferred tool for different actions but that'd be kind of a clusterfuck of a system (Tbh, it should automatically use cleaver on animals equal or lower to its ql, and then whatever higher ql tool for animals above cleaver's ql automatically, but that's a bit much.)

Would be cool. Saves tedium, since any sane player will always be using the benefits of the best tool they can.

And for the edge cases like "best Q saw is bone, but you also have metal saw for extra boards" giving extra benefit is worth allowing imo.

Another edge case: you want to have sword and shield ready for when Loose Rock pops, but using "Destroy" makes your character whip out a Pickaxe.

Can't we? Works on my computer.
