Default Tools

[hozz1235]

I have seen this brought up a few times in the Archive section, but wanted to "refresh" the request.

The default tool used for many activities seems abstract.  I was using my Heavy Hammer to break down wooden objects.  It finally broke, but I had another as a backup.  Now, the default tool is the Improv Hatchet.  I'm guessing because the time requirement is less, but what allowed me to use the other HH for so long?  

My Wish:  Allow us to select default tools for certain activities, such as:  breaking down wood, harvesting carcasses, cutting curtains, repairing items with toolboxes, etc.

Try dropping the impro hatchet and then picking it up again. The default should have shifted back to your heavy hammer.

I used it until it broke.  The new default became a normal hatchet.

I understand. Try dropping the hatchet (and any other hatchets) and picking it (or them) up again. The default should now be the backup hammer.

I'll try this when I get home.  Not very intuitive though and would still the option to somehow pick defaults.

Yes, definitely.
