======================================================================== Grouped toolbar items for hand tools and weapons included in the mod. Place a single grouped item on your toolbar and repeatedly select it to cycle through the matching tools or weapons you currently carry. It keeps your toolbar tidy while still providing quick access to every variant.

First press → always your primary tool/weapon (highest ranked). Subsequent presses → cycle through the alternatives. Put it away → reset back to the primary item. ========================================================================

Original changes and subsequent updates in change log and "list of changes.txt" contained in mod folder (found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\3354754263). Major updates and changes are discussed and applied during livestream events, usually same day as Keen releases the update.

I built this mod to be able fit more blocks in the limited toolbar slots and have the block groups make more sense. There are three basic changes:

  • 'duplicated' - blocks are also located in another group for ease of access, while remaining in their original home group, such as Bookshelf remains part of Weapons Rack group, but also in the Kitchen (decorative block) group.
  • 'reordered' - blocks remaining in original group, but reordered into a more intuitive order such as Armor Corner pieces.[/list]
  • I've set this up how I think I want it, but happy to take feedback and suggestions. Below is a full list of changes, they are also explained in the 12min video linked above. If you want to edit your own version, I have a 'how to' video also linked above.
