  • Controls -> General -> Equipment Swapping Scroll Direction: Left
  • User Interface -> HUD -> HUD Scaling: 1.3

Other settings/controls/system tips:

  • Since we often just sleep the SD instead of exciting the game, the automatic game restart doesn't work well for us. Because of this we disable automatic restart and break notifications. Just remember to save and exit to desktop every few hours manually or the game might start lagging.
  • Make heavy use of the X button when building to cycle between structures within the same family. This means in your hotbar you can save space by binding one from each family (i.e. foundation) and use X to cycle between them (i.e. 1m, 2m, and 4m). Tapping cycles, holding brings up the radial menu and enables the left joystick to work as a mouse. 
  • Because of the layer system to work with X's radial menu, the left joystick switches from WASD to mouse when holding X. You can use this for a form of auto run by holding the joystick forward, then pressing and holding X. Even after letting go, you should still be running.
