Thank you for being level headed enough to put two thoughts through your neurons before reacting to my criticism unlike the downvote brigade apes. I did end up forcing myself to put up with the control scheme for item handling and so far I've made it to day 20 and I'm having an incredible time with the game, but I'm not very dextrous with my hands so its a struggle when I need to move things from the ground to my hands or inventory, but I am slowly getting some measure of a hang on things.
I did try and bring this criticism to their discord feedback channel last year I believe(same username as here if you care to search the server history) and I was confronted with this exact level of juvenile nonsense.
