I'm pretty certain that those that developed the game never play it, otherwise they would quickly realize that the random adjectives added to things after tinkering only serve to turn the inventory screen into a nightmare of disorganization, especially toward the end game when you're loaded down with tons of items or if you've added a lot of custom content.

Suggestion: Boilerplate language for improved items. If you insist on making the inventory screen a cramped paragraph instead of a bullet quantity-item list, at least put all the items in "name, type" instead of "type name" so I can find the group of sledge hammers or whatever and then pick the one that is best suited for what I'm doing. This goes especially for weapons.

Anybody else tired of swimming through word soup just to find a sledgehammer for a breach?

TL;DR:

It should be "Sledgehammer, Furious" instead of "Furious Sledgehammer" because the inventory list gets clogged.

...

I want to like this game but the user interface makes it difficult to get immersed in the whole zombie apocalypse thing.

Count me on this. Not so much weapons for me, but it's a pain in the arse when you want to want to upgrade tools and equipment, and have to weed though line by line to counter-check what you'd want, when bringing back your haul.

More filters would be good. Like "Upgraded" and "Normal", then drill down the sorting to different categories in an easier to see vertical format, with key item names bolded.

It would be cool if you could at least re-order and/or filter objects based on function/stat. E.g. "barricading" would list all tools in order of barricading ability.

Sorry for the late reply, but that's a great suggestion! Since that is certainly one of the choice functions out there.
