    There are 3 settings options ('Single' is the new default option) that can be changed via the Gameplay settings menu:
    • Off: Disables the feature and leaves the current healing system unaffected.
    • Single: While healing, allows the queuing of another healing item. You must queue each additional heal manually by pressing the heal button again, or selecting a new item from the healing wheel.
    • Auto: While healing, allows the queuing of another healing item. Auto will continuously queue that same healing item, without any further input, until the effective health pool is full, or you run out of that healing item.
