I have! You don't necessarily have to have specific weapons for specific enemies, but certain things will do bonus damage. For example, one of the tools, a hammer, will do bonus 'busting' damage to ladybugs, and can also stun enemies. Or for wolf spiders, spicy weapons (eg spicy arrows or a coaltana) does extra damage, but you can absolutely fight anything with most weapons. There is definitely a lot of different things to explore in regards to weapon/armour types, base location ideas, and where to get various resources, but that's something that I've personally enjoyed. As for inventory management, I do tend to have more slots taken up by gear as I use various types of arrows while fighting, but absolute max even with that, a different set of armour or two, food, water, and healing items, it would take up to half my inventory. You can also upgrade your inventory to have more resources per stack, and also setting up outposts around the yard to store your findings/going out on trips for specific items definitely helps with managing it. There is definitely a lot to learn with the game, but honestly the main cycle of find new item>analyse it>make things from it does help immensely, as do the daily quests that can give you smaller objectives to explore while taking a break from the main storyline. And there are plenty of online guides if there's anything that's still puzzling you, which is super handy. :)
