Can someone please make a mod that increases the number of weapon slots (preferably via research), or failing that adds weapon loadouts you can switch with a hotkey? There is no need for such thing in vanilla game, where you end up with an SMG - combat shotgun - flamethrower loadout, but with some mods you can have more than three viable weapons you'd want to keep on quick access, or maybe some may want to have more vanilla guns with different modded ammo so it wold be easy to switch between say DU and incendiary ammo.

Aside from the gui stuff this shouldn't be too hard and I might tackle it.

Hotkey to cycle through sets of guns.

anytime you hold a gun in your cursor gui pops up allowing you to add it to a new set.

Almost done
I am thinking a 1x2 power armor module, the more modules you have the more belts you have.

So it's like armor profiles from Exoman before 0.14 broke it, except with weapons? And working. Man, I miss Exoman...

Well still need a hotkey to change it, decided not do to do a gui. But I was thinking about adding doing something for power armor switching too

If you want to test it out before I add the eq stuff. Don't save it in your main worlds yet but feel free to check it out.
ctrl-g cycles the gun belts

github?

also, what is exoman? couldn't find in forums

Everything works fine, except every time I change the belt it plays error sound and displays: in chat
sometimes it also adds a line "3" in chat.

Exoman was an awesome mod for 0.13 that had hotkeys for switching up to 4 power armor profiles pretty much like your belt does, hotkeys for gradual enabling/disabling exosuits or roboports. Unfortunately it also had dozens of useless buggy and/or laggy gimmicks like flying bots and attaching to railway, as well as hilariously overpriced fireproof power armor, and worst of all, it was not properly updated to 0.14 before the author abandoned it.

the 3 is a debug line and the missing key is a typo. It will tell you which gun belt you switched too.

Any progress towards release version so far?
