About QuickToolSwap
From mod.ioAllows to efficiently manage items by temporarily swapping them into your hand based on what you're looking at.
Introduction
⚠️Important: For this mod to work correctly, you should disable Swap to torch temporarily and assign a key to Swap tools quickly in the settings.
Bothered by the limited space in your hotbar? With this mod, you can place items anywhere in your inventory, and they’ll temporarily swap into your hand based on what you’re looking at, making item management more efficient and intuitive.
Usage
To temporarily replace the currently selected item in your hotbar with another item, hold down the assigned key. Once you've swapped an item, you won’t need to continue holding the key as long as you’re actively using it, whether you're fishing or mining.
Mappings
This section outlines the items that will be selected based on what you're looking at:
- Catching: Any critter -> Bug net
- Farming: Any plant, watered ground, ground slime -> Best hoe from inventory
- Fishing: Any water -> Best fishing rod from inventory
- Mining: Any wall or ore -> Best hand drill or pickaxe from inventory
- Digging: Any digging spot -> Best shovel from inventory
Configuration
If you want to add new mappings or edit the existing ones, you can adjust the configuration file located at%appdata%\LocalLow\Pugstorm\Core Keeper\Steam\[your steam id]\mods\QuickToolSwap\config.cfg
Here's an example snippet from the configuration:
<pre># You can name each section as you like, but each must include activeOn and priorityList. [Mining]
Indicates when the item gets selected, based on what you're looking at.
This should only include internal names for object ids or tile types.
activeOn = ore, wall
Lists the items to be selected when the activeOn condition is met, ordered by preference from highest to lowest.
This should only include internal names for object ids.
priorityList = LightningGun, LaserDrillTool, LegendaryMiningPick, [...], CopperMiningPick, WoodMiningPick
