VR Controls, What Are They?
Can someone please post what the Key/Contoller bindings are for VR (especially HTC Vive)?

Thank you good people :)

Grip generally lets you pick things, equip your selected item from crafting menu. App menu is often an okay button but these two buttons should show when an option to use them to do something is available. Hold grip to light fires and save game if you’ve made a sleeping area.
Ui buttons are left trackpad directional “touch” to navigate around, left and right trigger to switch tabs.
Up on right trackpad click jumps, down artificially crouches, left and right touch snap turns.
Left trackpad is movement, click up and hold to run (hope they fix this as this breaks trackpads)
Still trying to figure out how to do a lot, but to elaborate on what abra said:

Click right grip to pick up items in environment.
Hold right grip to eat food in environment.
Click right app menu to open survival guide (used to build structures).
Click up on right trackpad to jump.
Click/hold down on right trackpad to crouch.
Click left/right on right trackpad to snap turn.

Click left grip to equip lighter (does NOT light camp fires).
Hold left grip to ???
Click left menu app to open 3D inventory (used to combine items).
Press left trackpad to move.
Hold left trackpad to sprint.

To light campfires, hold down the RIGHT grip button then place the left wand near fire (wtf guys).
When placing buildings, press left trigger to rotate.
Edit: To skin animals, hold down the right grip (I think, will check in a sec).
Edit 2: To throw weapons, hold the right trigger and move your wand in a throwing motion. It will be thrown WAY FARTHER than you'd expect, so be gentle or prepare to lose spears.
Edit 3: To drop logs or bodies, click the right trackpad down.
Edit 3: To stoke fires, click the right trackpad on fire.

Will update as more controls are discovered.

Drop logs, tap down on right control.

Anyone know how to......
1) Block
2) Quick switch weapon/tool
3) Use spear to catch fish
4) Throw (spear, stone etc.)
5) Drop (i.e. skull, tennis ball)

Sorry devs, but this is riduclous that you haven't made a sticky post with the keys/controls
"Down on right control"? Do you mean trackpad? Like to crouch? Just trying to get everything straight.

I can answer #3! You hold the right wand with the ring facing behind you, hold the right trigger, and then move the wand forwards. Unfortunately, you throw your spear like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥' superhero. Good luck hitting anything beyond close range. Luckily, things don't seem to run until you're right on top of them. I've been hunting gulls by just running up and decapitating them with the axe.

I managed to throw the tennisball with the right trigger.
Assuming dropping is the same

Awesome, thank you. The dead cannibal rotting on my shoulder was starting to whisper things in my ear. Terrible things....

It's vague at best and wrong at worst. Read what I posted before for a more complete and intuitive list of controls. Genuinely not trying to be a douche here, just trying to get a unified control guide considering the devs haven't yet.
Awesome! May 22, 2018 @ 2:34pm

You can go into the options menu and change sprint from "hold" to "toggle." Hope that helps!
If only the crouch toggle option would work... I still can't believe you can't physically crouch without the game thinking you turned into a giant all the sudden.

Would really like to know this too! Cant really ask mobs to hang back a sec while I open my 3D inv and find something to attack with ^_^;


Cheers for VR support tho, bought this game just for that :)

In Normal, time stops while you have inventory open, but it doesn't on Hard.
