Hotkey option for Bait

  • Would be nice to have a option to cycle though bait to hold in your pirates hand like the food hotkey, I am surprised it has not been implemented yet.

  • @rougual agree, would be nice...sometimes before boarding another crew this could be really useful

  • option to cycle though bait to hold in your pirates hand

    But. Why?

    Hold fishing rod, hold trigger, choose bait and pick to attach.
    Why hold in hand?

  • I do not understand why this would be needed. I only hold the bait type that I need. It's not like you really need to quickly switch bait types.

  • @burnbacon
    Bait uses you may not be using in your adventures include:
    -Handing someone bait needed.
    -Eating Raw Bait to regain ~10% HP and getting sick.
    -Eating Burnt Bait to regain ~5% HP without getting sick.

    With the Meta of stacking high tier food you can hold 10 chances to heal yourself slightly, saving you high tier food when you take low damage.

    Another option is making yourself sick during combat, blocking the view of other pirates. This can be helpful with sword or blunder plays while boarded in a small area.

    In all situations you would need to pause your game and select the bait, all other tools and items have a way to hotkey themselves in your controller settings to save time. I hope you can use these tips to widen possibilities in your next adventure; and getting your pirate a little sick while your at it.

    It's not because of fishing
    It's because of eating it before you get into a fight...I wanna vomit all over these guys 😁

    You are right, but this isn't what this thread is about...
    We just want to be able to hotkey bait, instead of
    -opening the menu
    -scrolling to (any) bait
    -eat it

    So we can quickly eat it to be able to block the enemies vision

    @Rougual said something about the healing from bait...didn't even know it does heal you, but I also don’t care about that, just wanna vomit quickly

  • I can't see the point in fishing so I can't see how this would be any use. You want food bash a chicken and cook it better than wasting time on fishing.

  • @schwammlgott That sounds disgusting. Why not pre store vomit in a bucket for when you fight? I rather the devs focus on other issues or features rather than to have pirates vomit over everyone in fights.

  • we do need a better shortcut.

    maybe change it to how instruments and shanties work?

    Hold R mouse to bring up a bait wheel.

    Because I have to equip my bucket then while in the fight...
    Vomiting in the fight is already happening, so it's nothing new...this would be for QoL, so we don’t have to open the menu for the bait before the fight

  • @schwammlgott So for the player to quickly remove the vomit they would have to equip the bucket while in the fight with water or get water if they do not have it. It's just like using the throwable canon balls that you need to open the menu for. The player defending will not have an equal counter to the action the attacking player is setting up.

    What are you talking about? Nobody has to open the menu for throwables...you can hotkey them...

    By your logic, hotkey option for throwables have to be deleted out of the game

  • @wdw1011971 sagte in Hotkey option for Bait:

    @schwammlgott you can't hot key on a controller.

    There are 3 buttons * on the controller, that aren't used...YOU CAN HOTKEY THEM!
    I for example got the food on the right stick and throwables on LB (I've put the radial on RB)

    *it's actually 4 buttons

  • @schwammlgott Ah so you can hot the bucket then. Problem solved

    Wow 🤦
    I still want to use my sword while vomiting...what you say is not the same
    By the way, I got the bucket on a hotkey

  • @schwammlgott You could also do the same with raw food that is also under food same as bait and you can hotkey that. Just pick up the bait last and does that not give you that item first? Same with throwable you can't choose which one to use with the hotkey.

    Someone wants to tell me how the game works...
    What problem do you have with beeing able to hotkey bait? This must be really bothering you it seems...

    This info is false. You can hotkey throwables, you just press the hotkey to hold the throwable and again to cycle your thowables; you can hotkey almost everything in the keyboard/controller settings, I have throwables hotkeyed to Right Bumper, Wood to Right Dpad, Cannon balls to Left Dpad, Food to Right Stick Press. Now all I would like to see is an option to set Bait to Up Dpad.
