The hint and Clear button were inside the scrolling bag list, so a long Ctrl list scrolled them away. They now sit in a footer under the list, and Clear is a full-width, highlighted "Clear selection" button. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

title: vacuum/blow tool rethink
|
|
report: |
|
|
(agent) The Vacuum has one selection for picking up and blowing out. With anything selected, a
|
|
left drag takes only the selected materials, wherever it starts; with nothing selected it takes
|
|
what you click (or the first loose grain it reaches). Right click blows the selected materials
|
|
that are in the bag, as a mix. Click a bag name or Q/E selects one, Ctrl+click adds or removes.
|
|
Hold Ctrl and the bag also lists everything you've found, under "Not in bag", so you can select
|
|
materials you don't have yet. Blowing out the last of a material deselects it (one picked
|
|
before you had any stays selected). Ctrl + wheel scrolls the bag list. Clear the
|
|
selection with the Clear selection button under the bag list, by clicking the only selected row, or gamepad B.
|
|
Shift takes or blows everything.
|
|
To check: hold Ctrl, Ctrl+click two materials you don't have, then sweep a mixed pile (only
|
|
those come up); blow a coal + ore mix until the coal runs out (ore keeps going, coal is
|
|
deselected); Ctrl + wheel over the bag; Clear, then drag on something (only that comes up).

# Context
|
|
|
|
I dont like the current tool. I want to completely rethink how to pick up and drop materials in the game. maybe a vacuum isnt the best tool. maybe it is. I just want to discuss some options for picking up and dropping the materials in the game. it dont need to be super complicated, but i do need to be able to selectively pick up and drop materials. lets brainstorm multiple ideas for tools maybe multiple tools or just one. i want it to be simple and intuitive.

## Subtasks
|
|
|
|
- [x] discuss with user in claude code when asked about it, to work out exactly what the user wants
|
|
- [x] Pick up what you click: a drag that starts on a material sweeps up only that material, and Shift takes everything
|
|
- [x] One bag item (or a Ctrl+click mix) is in hand; Q/E or clicking a bag row changes it, and right click blows it out
|
|
- [x] When the last of something in hand is blown out, it leaves the hand; an empty hand says so instead of blowing
|
|
- [x] Picking something up with an empty hand puts it in hand
|
|
- [x] Remove the pick-up marks (R, Ctrl+right-click, the "Only marked" chip) and the F vacuum menu
|
|
- [x] One selection for both: a drag picks up only the selected materials (or what you click when nothing is selected), and right click blows out the selected ones in the bag
|
|
- [x] Holding Ctrl lists every material found so far in the bag, below a "Not in bag" divider, so several can be selected before any are picked up
|
|
- [x] Blowing out the last of a selected material deselects it; materials selected before you have any stay selected
|
|
- [x] An easy way to clear the selection (a Clear button, clicking the only selected row, gamepad B)
|
|
- [x] Ctrl + wheel over the bag scrolls the list instead of zooming the page
|
|
- [x] Ctrl+click adds to the selection on setups where the click arrives without the Ctrl flag
|
|
- [x] The bag hint and a wider, more visible Clear selection button stay visible below the list instead of scrolling away
