TRAITS
Inventory Tetris makes sure to give new uses to the vanilla traits related to the inventory!
- Organized - Does nothing right now, will improve autosort when it is added.
- Disorganized - When using quick move, items will not always stay stacked and will end up in a random spot in the grid. Cannot autosort (in the future when its added).
- Dextrous - Faster container searching.
- All Thumbs - Slower container searching.
Search Mode!
Use sandbox settings when creating your world to enabled searching! When enabled, containers must be searched before they can be looted.
FAQ
How do I open the keyring?
Double click it. The items will be shown in a pop-up window.
Furniture is too big for my bag!
Use your hands. Equip the furniture as you would a weapon. Your hands can only hold 1 item each, but the items they hold can be as big as you want.
How do I place a thing? It is too big for my main inventory.
If you want to place a large item such as a tent or furniture, equip the item into your hand as if it was a weapon. Once the item is equipped, it will appear as an option when trying to place/build objects.
My game lags / Low FPS
Ensure that the following game options is CHECKED:
Options -> Display -> UI -> UI Offscreen Rendering -> CHECK[/code]
You can now use the use the UI Rendering FPS dropdown to choose a target FPS to reduce the performance demand.
[h2]Can I add/remove this on existing saves?[/h2]
Yes.
Inventory Tetris can added/removed at any point without issue.
(Note: When adding the mod the player may drop items to the ground if they do not have enough space.)
[h2]How do items from other mods works?[/h2]
Inventory Tetris automatically examines items from other mods and determines what size they should be.
