[2020] A19.1 is stable, so which two items have made it into your new hotbar slots?

The list used to be:

1. Bat / Club
   
2. First gun (currently D. Vulture)
   
3. Second gun (currently the TAR)
   
4. Axe
   
5. Wrench / Harvesting tool
   
6. Auger
   
7. Wood frames
8. First Aid Kit
   

This list never changed. Only things that change is before I got a wrench and/or auger I'd have a pick and/or shovel. Also before I get guns slots nr 3 and 4 are for Bow and Torch

With 2000 hours in the game, I'm still getting used to the extra slots but I might replace the auger with a shovel and a pickaxe (Slot 6 and 7, I hate the auger that much), move the frames to slot 8, First Aid kit to Slot 0, and for slot nr 9 ... currently that seems to be the variable "whatever I'm working on right now", so often that is the nailgun or wire tool or something like that.

Sounds like I'm an oddball. But for some reason I've gotten used to rolling backwards with the mouse to select most of my weapons.

1. Melee weapon - typically a sledgehammer
2. Medical - bandage/first aid etc.
3. Pick
4. Wood axe
5. Shovel
6. Wrench/impact driver
7. Nailgun
8. Shotgun
9. 9mm pistol
10. Crossbow

Hmm... Well I usually have:

1. Bow

2. Club

3. Shotgun (in case of emergency)

4. Axe

5. Pickaxe

6. Food

7. Water

8. Medical item

For the 2 additional slots? I'm thinking maybe a salvaging tool and the Tactical Assault Rifle? Only problem then is I'll lose another inventory slot to carry extra ammunition. That's 3 ammo types I'm gonna be carrying. I might not carry the extra firearm and opt for something else instead. Not sure what though... Oh, maybe a knife for harvesting meat from animals.

Keep in mind this was in the Darkness Falls mod which always had 10 slot bars. This worked well for me in that mod so I probably won't change it up too much for vanilla. In vanilla I'd probably take out one of the guns and replace it with a healing item cause I wouldn't be speccing into every tree but DF brings back the "learn by doing" system.

1.) Axe

2.) Pick

3.) Shovel

4.) Melee 1 (sledgehammer)

5.) Melee 2 (stun baton cause I like being able to stun tougher enemies)

6.) Stealth weapon (bow/crossbow, sniper, etc)

7.) Pistol

8.) Machine gun

9.) Shotgun

10.) Harvesting tool/knife/frames

Now the DF mod is increasing their toolbelt to 15 and tbh I think that's too many. I've got 13 slots figured out (gonna add in a healing item) but I have no idea what I'll use for the last 2.

Yeah, I think 10 is just right. But, I like the challenge the mod provides and I have no idea how to mod myself so I can't change it back to the default but still keep the rest of the mod.

I'd never been able to use mods before A19 cause I didn't have a good enough computer to even play it vanilla. Well, right around the time A19 released I got a new laptop. After dying on my vanilla file since I play permadeath I decided to try out something new and tried Darkness Falls. I haven't been able to put that mod down since. It fixes the one major issue I've always had with the game, lack of proper endgame goals.

Sidenote but related, I kinda thought of trying to get into modding since I want to be a game dev and it I thought it might be good practice. Turns out I've been too busy either playing 7D2D or focusing on getting into college lol. That and it's very daunting with literally no coding experience ATM.
