Regarding Tools

[Brackwell]

I would like to be able to do anything that requires a tool without having to equip the tool as long as it's in the inventory. You would only have to equip the tool if you want extra space in your inventory, otherwise it would work as long as you have it on you.

No thank you, for obvious reasons.

Edit: I suppose I'll elaborate anyway. It breaks a lot of balance. For example instead of holding a bone saw and a stone axe which is only 3 slots I could hold 2 Traveller's Sacks and just have those 3 in the inventory, there's a few other tools as well.

It's also just nonsensical of all things the tool, I could see it with the traveller's sacks, or a quiver or something, because it's still 'on your person', but a tool can't be used if it's not in your hand.

As stated in other threads something like this could only work if you had a tool belt and you put a limited amount of tools in the belt. Also the tool belt would need to ocuppy slots 4L, 3R, and 4R, meaning your hands will not have anything in them

This sounds fair and reasonable. I'm just tired of having to switch to different tools all the time so I can be efficient in the task that I'm doing.

I like the idea of having a tool belt. It could carry multiple tools and without needing to switch back and forth, just carry about a 3x2 space of tools. Another option I'm thinking of is to have the belt made of like 4 hardened leather and just be able to add up to like 5 or so slots in which to put tools (maybe have large and small slots for stuff like an axe and a scythe and have the different slots take different amounts of leather to add on to the belt), not like an inventory space, more like a wagon with liftable objects but for tools.

Just the first thing that came to mind

Shield + battleaxe FTW.

Or the problem how to decide between bone- and metalsaw.
