CATUI — a quality-of-life UI overhaul with more information and shortcuts
Redesigns the UI with far more information on screen — zombie health bars, crafting queue jumps, inventory slot locks and more.
Details
A UI overhaul that works on both information density and control, centred on **surfacing numbers vanilla hides**.
What it shows
| Area | Details |
|---|---|
| **Status** | world stage, looting stage, trading bonus, armour level, mobility, running speed |
| **Zombies** | **health bars**, distinguishing feral and irradiated, with buffs and debuffs (armour level, bleeding, electrified, burning) |
| **Vehicles** | speedometer and inventory status |
| **Weather** | current conditions and storm information |
| **Crafting** | item stats and material recipes at a glance |
**Zombie health bars** change how you fight — seeing how many shots remain makes ammo easier to manage.
Shortcuts
| Input | Effect |
|---|---|
| **Hold `Shift`** | jump the queue when crafting, repairing or disassembling |
| **`ALT` + left click** | lock or unlock an inventory slot |
| **`ALT` + `B`** | open the active drone's inventory |
Update cadence and support
Development is active, with stated support for **7DTD 3.0 - 3.2**. Recent entries add a remaining-zombie count on clear and horde quests, and item names and quality to the pick-up/drop prompt.
There is also a fix in the history for **material counts displaying incorrectly when used together with `Beyond Storage 3`** — keep both current if you run them side by side.
The changelog is written in Chinese.
Installation
Extract into your `Mods` folder. It replaces the UI, so it conflicts with other UI mods such as `SMX` — **pick one**.
