Petit Planet Radial Menu Guide: Action Shortcuts and Setup

To access tools and social actions quickly in Petit Planet without opening your full inventory, assign your most-used items and emotes to the radial menu before starting an exploration or farming run.

Configuring Shortcut Slots

The radial menu serves as a quick-access toolbar designed to reduce menu navigation during active gameplay. Because slot capacity is limited, organize your layout by ergonomic placement:

Top Slots: Place primary gathering tools, such as your fishing rod, axe, shovel, or mining pick, at the top of the menu for fast tool swapping.
Side and Bottom Slots: Assign social emotes, greetings, and expressions to the lower or lateral slots to interact with players without digging through sub-menus.
System Slots: Reserve any remaining positions for quick interface shortcuts, such as opening the map or backpack.

Recommended Session Loadouts

To avoid cluttering the quick menu, rotate your shortcuts based on your immediate objective rather than keeping static tools equipped.

Activity Focus	Recommended Radial Shortcuts	Operational Benefit
Farming	Watering can, scythe, fertilizer	Prevents inventory pauses while working crops
Resource Gathering	Axe, mining pick, shovel, fishing rod	Maintains movement flow across complex terrain
Socializing & Co-op	Emotes, greetings, social items	Streamlines player interactions and neighbor visits

Context Prompts and NPC Interaction

Approaching NPCs and interactive objects triggers context-sensitive prompts alongside your radial menu interface. Keeping relevant interaction tools equipped in your radial menu ensures you can initiate dialogue, hand over items, or gift characters cleanly without defaulting back to full inventory navigation.
