wildforester Posted August 9, 2025 Report Posted August 9, 2025 There’s a lot to this, so I’m probably forgetting something. Support for touchscreen and trackpad specific actions would be good (In my opinion) for use when sitting down and crafting or managing the inventory. I think it’d be helpful for those slower parts of the game and may even speed up some of those parts a little. I don’t cover as much on the trackpad and there’s always more that can be added, so feel free to suggest. (I initially drafted this up not as a forum post) The game has little/no support for trackpad gestures. The most prominent being changing map scale by pinching. For touchscreen support it is better, but what makes it awkward is moving items about in the inventory. My best suggestion for this is a touchscreen mode option which would allow for: 1. When you touch on an item, then drag it to another slot, the item is put back down. This option should wait a little bit before placing the item if another item is not interacted with. The waiting is done to allow for spreading the item across slots. (the picking up and dragging already works, the item just is not put down automatically) 2. Double tapping on an item stack to collect all similar items into it (if not full). Would make collecting your spread items much more pleasant. (Similar interaction with mouse should be a thing) 3. Dragging an item stack out of the inventory and releasing will throw it. 4. Tapping on one item stack, then tapping on another will switch the item stacks. 5. holding down on an item stack will slowly take items from it or if the item stack is held, will slowly deposit items from it. 6. Prefer showing item tooltips above item stacks (considering the angle at which one views the screen from when using a touchscreen)
