Petit Planet Radial Menu and Tool Management Guide

To switch equipment and trigger quick actions in Petit Planet without opening the inventory screen, open the radial menu and assign your primary maintenance tools—such as the watering can, shovel, and hammer—along with key emote shortcuts to your main slots.

Setting Up Radial Menu Shortcuts

The radial menu functions as your main shortcut interface for equipment and social actions. Customizing your primary slots prevents repeated navigation through inventory sub-menus during terraforming and base decoration.

To optimize your daily workflow, organize your slots based on your primary activities:

• Resource Harvesting: Group essential tools like the axe, shovel, and hammer into adjacent radial slots to make quick transitions seamless during gathering runs.
• Social Expressions: Assign greeting emotes to at least two slots so you can react quickly when interacting with other players or visiting NPC areas.
• NPC Interaction Shortcuts: Place greeting and dialogue toggles on your menu to initiate chat or gifting options immediately upon approaching NPCs.

Tool Durability and Quick Swapping

Tools wear down as you perform planetary maintenance. Using the radial menu allows you to monitor equipment condition without opening full character status menus.

1. Check Durability Cues: Monitor the visual indicators on the radial menu slots during item selection to spot low-durability equipment before it breaks.
2. Prepare Backups: Keep duplicate tools or higher-tier alternatives in adjacent radial slots when heading out on extended harvesting routes.
3. Upgrade Shortcuts: When crafting higher-tier tools, immediately open the radial configuration screen to swap out low-tier equipment.

Resolving Radial Menu Input Stalls

If the radial menu fails to open or stops responding during gameplay, check your character's current animation status:

• Cancel Active States: Ensure your character is not locked in a dialogue window, crafting animation, or area transition. Close active UI windows and move your character slightly to reset your interaction state.
• Save Configuration Settings: If customized radial shortcuts reset between game sessions, open your game settings before logging out and confirm that interface layouts are saved to your local profile.
