Tool bar locked when doing an action

Why can't you click through your tool bar when your doing an action?

I understand that you can't do multiple actions at once but why can't you just look through your bags when you're mining? 

Now the question is why would you want to look through your bag when you're doing a task?

It's in order to plan for your next action. I usually leave my tool bar opened on my toolbox where I can manage my pick as I mine. As I wait, it would be nice if I could use that time to organize my bags or open the correct so once I'm done I can click on some food to eat and get back to mining.

Now some of you might think this is crazy and ask why can't you just wait until you're finished mining and do you're next action?!

In the world of Glitch everything is based on waiting and progress bars. As a player you want to optimize the amount of things you can do within a limited amount of time.

So what do you think? Am I crazy? or is this something you would like to change?

  • I'm pretty sure swinging that pick keeps both my (Glitch's) hands busy. Surely I'd start dropping things if I were trying to rummage through bags at the same time! Actually, dropping things is probably about the best outcome --  I might end up with a pick to the toes.

    It frustrates me too, usually when I'm trying to move around the rocks I just mined to put them in the right bag, or trying to get some food out for when I'm done. But I do think it makes sense in the game.

    Heck, the real me can barely manage to get the car keys out while carrying something. How on earth would I rummage through bags while mining? :)

  • I do think the game is inconsistent with this: you can look through your bag and eat food while doing some actions (like cooking), but not others (like mining). It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
