Tool's Helper

Postby yurez » Sat Apr 25, 2026 3:10 pm

I m almost sure many of us get problem with "ooops wrong tool"

For example we are trying to butcher, make branches from block of wood, attack animal etc.
I slay fox 80ql > i have sword 50ql so it is much lower but in my backpack i have axe 90ql > just click butcher animal fck forgot to switch tool for butchering and it already wasted good ql of skin, after few minutes i want to slay animal and again forgot to change axe to sword etc.

What i mean is too add some option to choose prefered tool for butchering, fight etc.

Anyway also there should be some penalty while butchering (-20% , -10% of quality) like with mining for using low tier tool. Try to butcher someting with stone axe instead of knife or something :D

I've seen multiple people die because their belt decided to put them into a combat cooldown by switching to a stone axe to destroy a warflag/ram xd

Yes, I suggested something similar for the shovel.
I have a shovel in my bag, but after I chop down a tree, I have to manually switch to it to dig up the root, or press the dig command somewhere. Otherwise, it'll destroy the stump with an axe. I suggested making switching to the tool a command type—dig—meaning a shovel, if available. But your idea covers more cases and is better.

The only question is, how would it work? Where and how would it be assigned what to use in what situations?

something like this where you can choose the tool equiped at your belt as a belt option

A - means auto choose when someone doesnt choose anything or just want auto
H - mean like destroy by hand without tool

and list one - for correct equiped tool or just first "stoneaxe" and it will check first tool in my hand and after belt if i dont have "stoneaxe" (choosen for example to butcher/destroy) it will just notify and stop butchering
