Interact with specific items

[tpenn 9]

Eat Food.... but which one?

Drink Water... from which can?

Suggestion: a system for interacting with specific items in the world (and if the game allows, in your gear as well.)

Currently, if you see an item on the ground that you want to consume or otherwise interact with, you first have to drop some gear to make room for it, pick it up, then drop any other gear that also applies to that interaction, perform the interaction (i.e. Eat Food), and finally load back up all the gear you dropped. The result is most simply just forgo any strategic interaction with items (ideally you'd want to conserve your meat items, certain ammo, etc)

It would be much more intuitive if more interactions were added to appropriate items in the world, such as a can of food would have "Consume" added to its interaction menu. I suppose in the future the action menus will probably be redone as well (similar to PR).

The mod needs an "Space" button for interaction with other stuff menu (cooking, backpacks).

"Left Windows" for self interaction like eating and so on.

Just like in two other mods we might know :D

I'd like this for the Drink Water as I'd prefer to drink from my bottle of water, then re-fill it instantly, instead of consuming a soda can. However I think this can be avoided by just putting all sodas in your backpack and just leaving water bottle in your main inventory.

Tasty salt water... Really should change that so you can't just use the ocean water ;)

also some small ponds which u can walk through (not swim) you cannot fill up your water bottle something that needs to be looked at

That one is being looked into. It's just a little harder to detect players in a pond than players in the sea.

I have a suggestion-solution for pond detection, just place a empty object or marker at centre of pond and have it run a check for when player is within a certain distance, you may need a couple if pond is a odd shape.

Should fix the problem if done correctly and if the distance is right.

An advanced GUI for gear management would be nice someday.
