I know I would appreciate it if we were allowed to re-map the hotkeys. Instead of using the number keys, perhaps being able to switch to a support item by pressing a key that someone would find more comfortable using. For my strategy I, personally, find it difficult to press 5-8 to summon zombies and then having to find the 1 key to spread the virus. It would be much easier if I could re-map all of those keys to something more suitable. An example would be "W" for spreading the virus. A, S, D, and F for summoning zombies. Any other keys would work for the support items. I prefer not to use those unless it is for one of those objectives.
@Deganveran, I came across that issue with the first axe I forged. For me trying to put the blades on the other side worked. In other words try to align each blade underneath the two holes and get them as close to the axe as possible.
Should not have to wait for other ducks to finish race to see results if they are almost (if not) always predetermined by the stats of all of the ducks involved in the race.
