Title: [Beta 6] Can't swap heavy treads
Post by: Jiyva on July 26, 2018, 01:02:58 PM
The game does not allow me to swap the heave treads. It says "no applicable swap parts" if I try to do so. A screenshot is attached.

Multislot parts are not hot-swappable. This is normal behavior.

I see. The game could use some more user-friendly feedback in this case. Users like me normally assume everything is hot-swappable.

True, though there's no context for it if you're just trying to get a list of swappable parts, as here. If you try to explicitly swap a large part it will give you the message saying large parts are not swappable.

I think it is worth it to clarify this whenever user uses the "/" command and then choose a large part. User would think it is a bug until he see the relevant feedback.

Oh right you can still select a large part through that method... I might be able to add a unique message there, will have to see where it's produced.

Yeah!

Yeah that should be doable and makes sense, thanks for pointing it out :). That inventory manipulation method was added much later, after which all the original players knew large parts weren't swappable :P
