Microsoft surface pen does not work in game

[Chris believes in Raptors]

Hello devs!

I wanted to let you know that currently the pen tapping on the screen does not work in your game. It does indeed work with normal finger presses, but for some reason the Microsoft Pen does it's taps a bit differently, and the game doesn't recognize them.

Is the game engine Unity by any chance? If so, I've found this same problem in other Unity games, such as the recent Poly Bridge. Other Unity games, like Mini Metro, do support the pen properly, so I figure it's just an extra setting somewhere.

Thanks for listening, much appreciated!

Oh no! I was just about to buy a Surface and Tharsis! D:
Not even joking. New semester is starting and I need a better tablet. I also didn't get a response about the supported aspect ratios. Does your Surface have a 3:2 aspect ratio and do you have that resolution option in Tharsis?

I have a surface pro 3 AND Tharsis, as for the surface pen, it does work, but you'd have to double tap (once to select the button and once to actually press it) same goes with using touch, and as far as I can see, Tharsis only supports 16:9 aspect ratio, so maybe the developers could add support for 3:2 ratio screens =D. Also, it would be great if the devs could add proper touch support

Have you had any issues just using touch?
If everything just works with a double-tap, I'd be much more concerned with having the right aspect ratio.
