+- **Hotbars**: Fixed crafting action tooltips showing the action name instead of the full description — use CraftAction.Description directly instead of ActionTransient, which returns the name for crafting actions.

 # 1.0.8.5
 - **Hotbars**: Fixed other HSUI elements disappearing when hovering over hotbar icons — overlay is now a child of the main HUD window instead of a separate window.
