Hey everyone! We are currently working on a bigger update for the whole action system. One of the new features contained in that update is an easy way to bind multiple actions to a default key. Today we want to give you a preview of its planned implementation and would love to hear your feedback about it. The default action key At the moment the actions which are available for the default action key bind are limited to a static list. This update will change that. The default action can change based on the current context, enabling a range of actions to be started with a single key. It is influenced by the circumstances, such as the currently active item, the target in the world, or whether you are currently embarked on a vehicle. An example (while being grounded): You are targeting a tile with a tree on the ground. Having a hatchet activated will make the default action key start a cut down action, while having a shovel activated will start a dig action.

Customization The default action will be more customizable. In the right-click menu there is a new button for it, called "Edit default action". When clicking the button, valid actions will begin to flash. When one is clicked, it will set that action as the new default action for your currently active item on the target you right-clicked. You can remove it again by repeating the same steps. For example: Choosing "Cut down" on a birch tree with an active hatchet will make the "Cut down" action the default action for all birch trees. The process can be repeated again to remove the default action.

Advanced combinations As there are multiple possible actions for most targets (depending on the circumstances), we'll have to support complex combinations while keeping things for you as easy as possible. The current default actions will have a separate color in the right-click menu so you can identify them more easily. While in edit mode, hovering a valid action will give you a tooltip that you can right-click it for further customization. The advanced customization options will let you choose what active item the default action allows from the following list:

• Any of the same type as the active item (any hatchet for example)
• Only the active item
• Any (or none) active item
• Any item that matches any checked types of the currently active item (a hatchet has the "tool" and "weapon" types for example)

• Any of the same type (any birch tree for example)
• Only the current target
• Any target that matches any checked types of the current target (a birch tree has the "any surface tile", "tree tile" and "diggable tile" types for example)
