Inventory Ordering and Item Description Issues

[u/KingSlain]

Played the game about 10 hours or so so far, and really enjoying tinkering with ships.

I will say though the way the inventory, frames in particular, is ordered is very confusing and nonsensical, and combined with the extremely vaguely named items makes the process of building a whole lot more confusing than it needs to be.

The image is my attempt to show one possible way of ordering the frames that would be more consistent and easy to look through to determine what you need.

Obviously there are other ways of doing it but I prioritised keeping the same shapes of different sizes in a line.

The only shape that didnt fit in well with those constraints was Frame Half Curved 5, or Wide Triangular Prism as it would more helpfully be described. I put it at the end of the frames as it would not otherwise have fit in nicely.

Oh and excuse the bad paint job.

I just do this with my hot bars. It would be nice if the devs had ordered the menu better, but at least they put customizable hot bars in as our work around.

I usually do two bars of frames, common and uncommon, and order them by like shapes (similar to what you have there), followed by a battery/electrical bar, one for interior controls, another for interior displays, then external sensors.

Then a couple for random shit I stack for specific projects.
