One of the more annoying things is when an inventory for a fief is loaded with shit. We've all seen it, it's a pain in le butt!
I'm not sure if this is a lot of work or not. If it's not a lot of work then it's an easy work around until something better can be done.
Move construction mats and sites to the first position ahead of all 1h weapons so they are always select able. That way, worst comes to worse we can at least build a csite and start throwing gear on the ground like retards. Also move ladders/stakes to that first position as well considering how important they in the defense of a fief.
I'm trying to work on a better inventory system, I'm not getting very far but if I mange it I'll chuck it on the site. I still haven't worked out why exactly things aren't select able
