The game is fun, but has similiar inventory management annoyances that you have in Terraria. Have not played terraria in a while. I dont like icon based inventory systems. I wish you can choose to switch to see the words of items if you want to. Look at SkyUI mod for Skyrim. That is how you handle an inventory.
various mods that add equipment or crafting menus have different inventory sorting and filtering systems. Some are fairly nice, but none of them apply their changes globally to all menus. I feel like this is something that could be done, but alas it is not.
I'd love to be able to filter and sort be the various tags that each item belongs to (for example, biome or race specific)
1. Cant stack food. They may fix this. I saw this happened a few months ago with rotting food.
yar, the non-stacking food is due to different rotting times. there are some food stacking mods, most of them work by getting rid of rotting. one of them works by selecting the worst rotting time in the stack for all items.
My head canon is that your personal storage is some sort of extra-dimensional-stasis that your mater manipulator pulls things into and out of, so I don't feel bad about ditching the spoilage. This would take care of your #3 also.
2. need an auto-eat mod that will eat if you get below a certain hunger.
I use a mod that cuts your hunger rate in half. this makes eating much less distracting, without making it meaningless.
5. Craft from chests
