	The '''quickbar''' is a user interface component for creating shortcut links to items, [[blueprint]]s, [[blueprint book]]s, [[deconstruction planner]]s and [[upgrade planner]]s. Once created they can be quickly selected at any time without needing to open the inventory. The quickbar is always visible at the bottom of the screen. It shows between one and four bars from a set of ten available, each containing 10 slots. Clicking any filled slot will place the chosen item in the player's hand if available in the inventory. It can also be configured to provide a [[ghost]] of any item the player is not currently carrying. The quickbar also allows blueprints and books to be pinned directly from the blueprint library, providing quick access to these blueprints without cluttering the inventory.

	~~It is possible to pin blueprints~~, blueprint ~~books~~, deconstruction ~~planners and~~ upgrade ~~planners~~ to ~~any~~ quickbar slot.		Any blueprint, blueprint book, deconstruction planner or upgrade planner currently in the inventory or the blueprint library can be pinned to a quickbar slot.

	~~=== From~~ the inventory ~~===~~		The advantage of pinning from the library is that it provides permanent and quick access to the blueprints in question without the player needing to keep copies in their inventory. This saves inventory space for other purposes. There is no visual distinction between blueprints from the blueprint library or the inventory.

	~~Any blueprint, blueprint book or planner currently in the inventory can be pinned to a quickbar slot.~~ If the item in question is deleted or destroyed, the quickbar link for it will be automatically removed. If the item is removed from the inventory, for example by being placed in a chest, the quickbar link will remain but will not function until the blueprint or planner returns to the player's inventory.		If the item in question is deleted or destroyed, the quickbar link for it will be automatically removed. If the item is removed from the inventory or blueprint library, for example by being placed in a chest, the quickbar link will remain but will not function until the blueprint or planner returns to the player's inventory or blueprint library.

If the item is in the blueprint library, this will directly access the library copy. This can only be noticed by the window title of the blueprint or the blueprint book location mentioning the blueprint library.

	~~=== Direct from~~ the ~~blueprint library ===~~

	~~[[File:Quickbar-BlueprintsFromLibrary.png\|thumb\|right\|180x80px\|Two blueprint books and a blueprint pinned directly from the blueprint library to the quickbar.]]~~

	It is ~~also possible to pin blueprints and blueprint books directly from~~ the blueprint library. These appear differently to blueprints pinned from the player's inventory - they have a darker background and no dotted border. There is no visual distinction between a blueprint book and a blueprint unless the tooltip is viewed.

	The advantage of pinning from the library is that it provides permanent and quick access to the blueprints in question without the player needing to keep copies in their inventory. This saves inventory space for other purposes.

	~~Clicking with {{Keybinding\|rmb}} on the quickbar link for a library blueprint or book~~ will directly access the library copy. This can ~~usually~~ be noticed as the blueprint ~~library UI will also appear in the background, behind the UI for~~ the blueprint or book ~~itself. The player should be careful when accessing library blueprints in this way - clicking the delete button will permanently remove them from~~ the library!
