Quads Gear Slots

🛡️ GearSlots

Version 1.2.1 · all the mods · install it (r2modman, Mod Manager) or the in-game mod manager (F7)

A Gear panel next to your inventory: Head, Chest, Legs, Cape, Belt, Trinket, Ammo and Shield slots (drop gear in and you wear it), three Food slots, and five Quick slots with hotkeys that also show in a row under your hotbar. Your shield follows your one-handed weapon, and worn gear moves into its slot by itself. Auto-eat keeps you fed: the food slots are eaten when a meal is below 20% of its time left, so your food goes about 1.6 times as far.

Known clashes

• ValheimPlus (extra inventory rows): works. You keep all of its rows and the gear rows sit below them. (Before 1.2.0 everything in

its rows past the fourth was dropped at every spawn.)

• ExtraSlots, Equipment and Quick Slots, AzuExtendedPlayerInventory, Extended Player Inventory, ComfyQuickSlots: they keep their

own slots in the same inventory cells, so the gear slots switch off while one of them is installed. Whatever was in your gear slots moves

into your bag (if your bag is full, what didn't fit stays put and is tried again next time you log in), and you are told in chat.

• BetterArchery: its quiver (on by default) is a row in the same place, so the gear slots switch off as above. With its quiver turned

off (Quiver, Enable Quiver = false) both work.

🔍 How it works

Extra inventory slots for what you wear, eat and use, in a Gear panel next to your inventory.

What is in it

• Head, Chest, Legs, Cape, Belt, Trinket, Ammo and Shield slots: drop a matching piece in and you put it on. Armor and arrows no longer take room in your bag, and gear you are already wearing moves into its slot by itself.
• The shield follows your weapon: switch to a one-handed weapon and the shield from the Shield slot comes out with it (two-handed weapons and bows put it away).
• Three Food slots: keep your best meals in their own place (right-click to eat). Optional auto-eat is in the settings.
• Five Quick slots (Z, X, C, V by default; the fifth is unbound) for a weapon, tool, potion or anything else: press the key to equip or use it. With the inventory closed they show in a row under your hotbar, with their keys.
• Slots only accept the right kind of item, and Sort and Stack to Chests (QualityOfLife) leave them alone.
• Nothing is stored in a new place: the slots are extra rows of your real inventory, so saving, weight, crafting and dragging work as normal. Before removing the mod, move your gear-slot items into your bag: without it the game drops anything in those rows at your feet the next time you spawn.

Every key and option is in the settings (the manager's Mod settings tab).

⌨️ Keys

| Key | What it does |

|---|---|

| Z / X / C / V | Use what is in Quick slot 1 to 4 (equip a weapon or tool, drink a potion); the fifth slot has no key until you set one |

In BepInEx/config/com.quad.gearslots.cfg (made the first time the game runs with the mod).

Food

| Setting | Default | What it does |

|---|---|---|

| AutoEat | false | Eat from your Food slots by yourself: when a food you have in a slot is not active (and you have a free food slot), or its effect has dropped below half. Off by default. |

| EatBelowPercent | 20 | Auto-eat a food you are already under only once its time left drops below this percent (the game allows it from 50). Lower saves food: a meal then lasts 80% of its time instead of 50%, and its effect weakens a little towards the end. |

General

| Setting | Default | What it does |
