Equipping items is relatively simple. First, you need to open your inventory using the “B” button. Now you need to click the item you want to equip. If you click a tool like an axe, your character will immediately hold the tool and use it. If you equip a resource such as logs, then using them with the “E” button will cause them to throw logs all over the floor.

To unequip an item, open your inventory once again. Now you need to click on the currently equipped item at the bottom of the screen and press the “E” key.
