Inventory UI

[okeer]

Dear PZ-Community,

i am writing to you because in my humble opinion, the inventory ui could need a change.

I like the way the game gets along in development, the features are already enough to name the game a "time sink" for me... and the best - it's very stable (for me)!
The only thing which kinda annoys me is the way the Inventory is organized.
I'm a collector and scavenger, organize them strictly in base but this is very time consuming in my opinion (i dont mean the times for unpack/drop etc., just the UI).

The Inventory should be more "informative".

tl;dr
My Suggestions would be:

• add seperate Weight / Size tabs (sortable!)
• make name/category/weight/size tabs sizeable and/or hideable
• count as prefix (avoids "trimming" with long itemnames) instead of suffix
• *optional/needs discuss* change "unpack" "drop" etc. buttons to icons (per opt-out maybe?) to clear space up for easier multiselect
• *optional/needs discuss* how about multiselect with checkboxes and a hotbar with buttons for unpack/drop?

 

Thats for it, maybe you guys can come up with some additional ideas or shape the rough diamonds i dropped here

 

kind regards,

Okeer

 

P.S: no native english speaker... sry for it

Here's a recent previous thread on inventory UI stuff. As mentioned by a dev in said thread, a UI reworking is currently underway.
