PC The biggest source of un-fun: inventory management.

Here:  Lockable Inventory Slots. Just remember to set the amount of locked slots each time you start the game as there's no way to save that data in the savefile currently. I keep forgetting and my carefully curated top row gets mixed up with loot :)






 
Many start out with a bunch of stacked chests which at that point allows inventories to be sorted out in mere seconds. Some decide to move on and build a nice base with different crafting areas and a more granular inventory. That entire process of moving from a purely functional base to a 'nice' base is also part of the progression for those that decide to do so.

The frustration sets in as doing inventory management in bigger organized and spread out inventories comprises boring repeated actions that waste real life hours over the course of a game. And in a game where unpowered workbenches can craft 1000s of items unattended, I wouldn't find some ooc QoL inventory progression alien at all. I don't expect the solution to make sense, conveyor belts etc, I just want to save real life time so I can get back to building, looting and shooting zombies in the head.

Haha, all this inventory talk has made me think back of RedPower.

Just incase you didn't spot it - I didn't for the longest time - there's three icons in the middle along the top bar of your backpack inventory when you're interacting with a storage unit.

The first - like an arrow alongside a list - will auto-sort your backpack ... and I'd never touch that. The middle one with the single arrow going into the box, double click it and it will put anything into the storage crate your are accessing that is already in the storage crate, creating new stacks as necessary. You can go from crate to crate and quickly dump the general stuff that is already in that box from your backpack, letting you simply sort the final dregs.

Just remember to take back anything you need - like shotgun shells, arrows or lockpicks, first aid bandages, food or drink... Wouldn't be the first or the last time I've left the base having dumped something vital.

 It's helpful to an extent. I have a bad habit of hoarding every damn thing I find.  I need to start sellingnor scrapping stuff. I play either solo or with my daughter. Do I really need 5 pipe batons of each level when neither of us use them? 10 pipe rifles? Ugh..
