Craft Item Selection

Hi there everyone,

New to the game and enjoying it immensely!

Still a few things I'm trying to get my head around, but most frustrating at the moment is..

When crafting something, the craft widget automatically highlights in green items it wants to use.
How do you control which items are selected? I'm getting tired of moving stuff into my backpack to stop the widget trying to grab it...

PS..
I've heard rumours there are lime pits.
Don't believe them, it's lies!

It will always select the items most recently added to your inventory. So, instead of shoving the stuff you want to save into your bag, I recommend you put the things you want to use inside, pull them back out, then reselect the craft recipe so it highlights the new items.

Thank you for the kind reply. :)

A bit cumbersome, but whatever works.

In addition (not trolling hey ! ) take care the items that don't look the same but are considered the same kind by the game : e.g. a coffin plank wich is an interesting inspirational will be considered as a normal board.

Thank you. Good point. Pretty much the reason I was asking how to select what item gets used. Silly craft tool wants to waste all my goodies. Pity the poor without a bag who has to drop his stuff on the ground. May his toast always land buttered side up.

pick the item you want to be used and switch place with the green selected one... I use Latikai's client and this works
