Potential Ways To Use Bags From Inventory?
OK guys, Here is a list of ways I've come up with to access bags from inside your inventory. I'm looking for feedback on what method everybody prefers.

Potential Alternatives
  • Item Mode Switching:
    Essentially, you would start with the bag acting as a weapon. Right click would open the bag's inventory from your hot bar. If you left click however, an alternate version of the bag would drop (The version currently in the mod) . You can place it on the ground, interact with it, then break it as usual. When you break the bag, it returns to the 'weapon style' bag when picked up.

  • The Mode Changing Station
    For this option, things would be similar to the previous alternative. The difference being that to swap the bag type, you would use a bag mode changing station.

Limitations and Reasonings
There are certain restrictions when considdering how to handle items in Starbound. The current version of the mod has the items as 'objects'. Objects are placeable, and interactable when placed. Alternatively we could potentially have them listed as a 'weapon' which allows interaction from the inventory but prevents them from being placed. The above proposed methods utilize both a weapon and an object listing to provide the best of the two worlds.

Conclusion
At this point, we are not sure which route will be the most well recieved so we are asking for your opinion. If you could provide reasoning for your decision that would be greatly appreciated but is not required by any means.

Thank you all for your support!

i think the weapon mode is the way to go for now! unless you can create a bagpack that works like an inventory extra slot

A mode changing station seems counter productive since you'd either need to keep the station with you and put it down to change modes instead of simply putting the bag down as you do now, or you'd have to travel to your ship/home planet to switch forms when you could just do it on the fly with your first option.

I'd perfer the weapon mode, as otherwise might as well just carry a bunch of chests, I think...

The weapon option is the best, because who here has to go to a special station to put a backpack down and use it irl? it doesn't make sense, even for a game. ;P

The weapon mode seems like the better idea overall.
