Some QOL for those of us that actually fight the bugs.

[Drakken]

Not many people play this game with a ton of action, fighting enemies throughout their campaign. However, I do. There a couple of easy QOL improvements that would help in the heat of battle.

Number one, when I die and pick up my body, put the weapons back in their previous configuration from when you were killed. Absolutely nobody wants the pistol in their hand if ANY other weapon is available.

Number two, when I pick up my body, put the list of items I just reclaimed off to the side instead of blocking all vision in the middle of the screen where my toon is at. Why is it like this?

This is annoying to no end. When you go to reclaim your body, you are most often being attacked heavily. The last thing you need is to not be able to fight because you keep wielding the weakest weapon, and/or can't see because the screen is cluttered with a list of all of the stuff you already knew you were carrying.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

I don't carry around the pistol after I get other weapons but I agree that it just makes sense I am picking up my weapons, I am putting them back where I want them, not in some random order.
And yes, Yes, YES stop spamming information in the centre of my field of view, not just when reclaiming my body, any time I am hoovering up stuff from the ground (looking at you when I first land on Gleba and cleaning up areas to build my base before I can delegate the task to some bots).

Absent a Screenshot, this sounds like the Tooltips hover? There is an Interface Setting which moves Tooltips to the Sidebar, instead of at the Cursor location.

Good Luck!

worst part about this is when you have a full inventory and armor with inventory expansion on. The game just shits itself immediately because it doesn't prioritize putting on armor/weapons over items for some reason.

Especially annoying if you're dealing with a bunch of biters or something while trying to collect your body, usually you either get lucky and pick up the armor, and put it on, but dont pick everything up, and so have to do it again, or you dont and you need to go fishing for the armor specifically.

While it's a bit unintuitive, there are workarounds.
1) Use filters (middle click) on all weapon and ammo slots to set the configuration you want. When you respawn you will still be given the pistol, but it will not get equipped. Additionally, use logistic request for zero pistols to move it to trash.
2) Don't pick up the body by mining, left-click it to open and ctrl-double-click the armor in the last slot. First click will pick it up and put it on, second click will pick up everything else.
