Smart Radial Menu

A smart radial menu for quick access to common item actions. Supports controllers and the Steam Deck. Also supports split-screen, displaying a radial menu for each player.

B42 only.

For the B42.12 version, please use this instead: Smart Radial Menu [B42.12]

• Dynamic Radial Menu: Scans inventory and proximities, displaying the following relevant options: eating, drinking, smoking, using meds, reading, setting alarms, researching and crafting.
• Controller Support: Designed for mouse + keyboard, gamepad, and Steam Deck navigation.
• Item Filtering: Excludes spoiled, hazardous, and poisonous items (if known to the player), as well as literature already read and skill books you cannot read yet. Tainted water and food is optional.
• Learning Craft Recipes: Displays recipes that can be researched from items.
• Evolved Recipes Support: Craft advanced cooking recipes directly from the menu. Note: This feature may be removed if it causes issues.
• Clothing Actions: Adds actions to wear, unequip, and inspect clothes, as well as the item’s extra actions if available.
• Crafting: Adds B42 recipes you can craft from your inventory and nearby containers.
• Submenus for ingredients, maps and equipped clothes: Added submenus to separate spices from other food, maps from other literature, and the currently equipped clothes from the rest.
• Integration: Safe to add and remove from existing saves.
• Localized: Translated for multiple languages using ChatGPT, except some vanilla text not officially translated yet.

*Keybind is customizable

It will group stacks of items and will use drainables, food and liquid containers from least to most uses, nutrition and liquid amount, respectively. For example, it will use the painkillers with the fewest uses remaining until depleted, then move on to the next available painkillers.

For evolved recipes, the opposite is done: the item with the most nutrition or liquid amount is used first. While not perfect, it helps remind you to use available ingredients.

Fluid containers on the floor will have the option to drink them directly as in vanilla, or to grab them from the floor. As in vanilla, you cannot directly drink from large capacity containers in the inventory, such as buckets.

Skill Books, skill magazines, schematics and recipes will be given priority over other literature even if Unwanted.

For clothing, it will try to sort items from head to toe, prioritizing those in the best condition.

Bags that have been renamed will be given priority, making them easier to find.

Items in the player’s inventory will appear first, arranged clockwise from the top of the radial.

Unwanted items appear last, behind frozen, except for equipped clothes, which are sorted head to toe. If hiding Unwanted items, researchable and equipped items are always shown.

Crafting items are sorted with inventory first, then alphabetically. The worst condition item and then uses remaining is selected, with batch crafting supported if allowed by the base game.

• Fix for controllers: Prevented aiming immediately after selecting a slice from interrupting the action.

• Fixed exp string on tooltips.
• Added wring out wet clothes functionality.

• Updated for 42.15
• Updated crafting detection logic.
• Fixed another transfer action bug when crafting.
• Added a broken status icon.
• Added brochures to fliers detection.

• TidyUp Meister
• Picking Meister
• Drink Smart
• Better Sorting 42.13+ compatibility patch
• Organized Categories 42.13+ compatibility patch
• Extended categories (B42)
• No additional compatibilities are currently planned.

• This is my biggest mod project to date, so bugs may be expected.
• Extra mouse buttons on gaming mice can’t be used to hold the menu open due to how the game code works, but work in toggle mode.
• When items are marked as favorite, you might not be able to use recipes on them. This is a vanilla limitation.
• ‘Insert battery’ has an option that can insert multiple batteries into a flashlight and waste extras. This is a vanilla bug, just avoid it.

This mod is not and will never be a replacement for the right-click menu.
