A necessary change: Portable crock pot and torches.

[astroapyr]

Some may agree or not that Don't Starve Together is an uncompromising game. Maybe it objectively is in some contexts, and it isn't in others. I would say that it is uncompromising in the sense that sometimes you can't control or deal with some threats and you need to flee before it harms you: a burning forest, a chasing group of terrorbeaks, weather and more. What if you had to flee in the dark with torch in hand, but you couldn't because one of the key items of your survival can't be disassembled and picked?

 

That's the problem that Warly is facing with his key item the portable crockpot. When you are holding any item you can right-click to disassemble the portable crockpot and pick it up, but when you are holding a torch, you can't because right-clicking it just burns the crockpot (an accident I've had and I'm sure I'm not the only one), so your only solution to disassemble the portable crockpot is to burn something to make light, hammer the crockpot or wait for another lightsource to disassemble it, which is just annoying when the solution could be simpler: alt + right-click to disassemble or change the "right-click to burn" for a "right-click to disassemble" when you are holding a torch.

 

So this is a change I would like to be made on Warly, both to be able to disassemble the crockpot with torch in hand and to stop burning it by accident. If this change is made, it would be nice to do the same for his portable seasoning station and portable seasonings filter. Thanks!

if they do add this can they also add it to wicker's bookcase please?

i wanna read books with a torch light

Burning things should be on the lowest priority on all action. I would love to if klei make it impossible to light any of those building on fire.

I want to add being able to mount a saddled beefalo as mighty Wolfgang with a dumbbell in hand to this list. I'm getting finger aches from having to constantly switch items in the earlier stages of taming.

tbh they could do a priority sweep through the whole game.  Burning crock pots, libraries etc but also targeting priority.  If you ctrl+f anywhere near a wall, that wall is your #1 target for some reason lol  Plus issues with targeting afw over unseen hands or shadows.

At least for controller (heretical i know) they actually vaaaastly improved targeting vs fuelweaver/shadow hands (and brightshades/tunneling vines) in a recent update. Its so much more managable solo/small groups

Absolutely, isn't this what happens when you are holding a fire staff too and want to open a chest?

Burning priority/hammer priority was a chefs kiss feature when I got into the game (DS) by watching someone else play it. But it’s a bit weird when I’m playing it myself.
