Lots of intersting points and ideas here, but the game would be a lot less frustrating if your quick slot/wheel worked.
When im going through the items in my hotbar I’ll get so far along and then it’ll revert back the other way to my bandage or whatever when i was trying to get a drink from the other end!
The quick wheel is equally as buggy but not as bad as the build wheel that never stays on the item you select and causes you to have to restart the game several times when building when it gets stuck.
