shortcut key on controller
Hi, I know when we play on pc with keyboard, there is a shortcut key for switch multitool, setting ctrl + 1 , ctrl + 2 and etc.. then we press 1, 2.... we can switch both quickly.

There's a method to do this in xbox controller? I play using xbox controller, but, when i have to switch my multitool for mining, and multitool for combat, i have to use the key 1 or 2 to switch.

In this game, D-pad left, and D-pad right is not used...

There are several general-purpose freeware products that allow you to assign keyboard input to controller input or set up a series of keyboard inputs as "macros" on a button. Look for them.

Yes, i know... but i was epected the game had thir own method natively.
People who playing on xbox and PS4/PS5 consoles do not allow to switch quickly, i think this is weird.. pc users can do it with keyboard, but not controller..
Two controller buttons are wasted.

There's no controller optimization. I'm shocked, with the devs not thinking this..
But you right, at least, we can use software to bind the 1 and 2 in D-pad and L-pad... but... less software running on background, best perferformace the game have to run smoothily.
lol

Your Welcome. Now the unfortunate news. HG/Steam will occasionally update the controller layout of the Action Sets rendering any save or modified setting one makes to revert back to the "New Default" controller.

This happened to me on the latest Experimental build, so be looking ahead and have a good grasp on how you like things, and how to reconfigure them on the fly.

Example of what one would see in change log:

Modified – GAMEDATA/INPUT/controller_ps4.vdf (+302 B)
Modified – GAMEDATA/INPUT/controller_xboxone.vdf (+301 B)
