grounded [Request] Hotbar Scroll Mod

[Xelian86]

This is mainly for controllers, but I'm sure many people using KB&M would appreciate scroll wheel scrolling. There needs to be a previous and next item in hotbar settings so you can map buttons to them. On controller you can easily unmap left and right d-pad which would be great for this. You could also remap lb and rb to those buttons and use lb and rb to scroll as well.

 

The game as it is now does not feel good on controller. There are other issues, such as aim acceleration/inertia feeling off or imprecise - a little floaty (the same issue I had with The Outer Worlds on controller), but the main issue is having to use the clunky toggle radial to change hotbar items, completely invalidating the need for a hotbar. This if further impacted by the fact that the hotbar items are still in your backpack, meaning the hotbar is even more useless. They might as well have just dynamically populated the radial menu with what you have in your backpack starting from top left and not implemented a hotbar for controller. Well, at least with how it is now you can assign left and right d-pad to your healing items.

I can't believe this hasn't gotten more support. 2024 & this still hasn't happened somehow...? I know LOTS of people on the game's forums are still begging for this to be a game feature, but it really doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm a controller user too, but the same number of people who want to be able to scroll through the hotbar are also keyboard/mouse users.

I understand there are multiple bars (though with the limited inventory space, it's doubtful I'd end up using all three. I still haven't even touched the 2nd one yet), but I'm sure something simple can be arranged to switch between them for those who still want to use them. Like holding Shift, Ctrl, or Alt while scrolling with mouse (whatever's not used for stuff already, I'm not familiar with it), or on controller pressing Down on the D-Pad to swap between each bar. Or something.

I keep throwing my ax or spears at my poor brother when I'm just trying to go to my next item with Right Bumper, just natural reflex from so many other games, LOL. Or fruitlessly going into the Emotes/Mutations menus.

I'll remap a bit in the meantime, but trust me, there are SO MANY players out there, on BOTH control types, who still REALLY wish this could happen. It'd be so cool if someone could make this a reality.
