    Summary: due to the hotbar being an inventory the player can carry twice the space unit of items wirelessly

    Description: when the player has got its wirelessly connected hotbar filled with items mining new resources into the conneccted inventory do not consider the resources of the "hotbar inventory"

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1)spawn an sv with a considerable amount of space units available to connect to
    2)wirelessly connect to the sv
    3)trade, buy resources from a trader like titanium, copper, everything except iron, and silicon
    4)fill your sv's cargo on the hotbar, not in its normal inventory the way that you accidentally forget to unconnect from the wirelessly connected sv while you are heading to mine silicon, and iron
    5)mine iron, or silicon, and notice that with resources still being in the connected "hotbar inventory" the amount of those can be overfilled, and it is possible to collect more resources than the sv's inventory lets it
    6)accidentally switch to the hotbar inventory sitting inside your cockpit, and see your bought resources ejected from the "hotbar inventory" automatically with you unable to pick those up again due to you being filled with iron, and those with never ending delta v getting further away from the ship that you are connected to

    suggestion:
    the hotbar should not be meant to hold onto anything like an inventory. only place references of items there that are present in the actual inventory - do not use it for trading (please just don't, it is horrible)

    related info:
    i know some people might consider this to be an exploit, but the cause is that you lose half of your resources by accident - so yes i think it is possible to be careful, but the danger is up

    The virtual toolbar is a special toolbar and connected to the containers inventory
    You can cary on it unlimied volume, but you can only deposit in the container when you disconnect what the container can hold, not the player inventory

    This is done so you can still place devices and such what are too heavy for your player inventory like constructors
