Controller controls?

[Elmoline]

Hi, I tried playing with a controller and found it a bit challenging, tried checking the controls but they only specify for mouse/keyboard.
Did I miss something?
If anyone could give me details about the controls on a controller I would sppreciate it :)

If you have a specific question I can answer it, but other wise here is whats in my brain right now:

1. The digital pad does multiplayer signals and 'down' does quick tether.

2. The RightTrigger is like a Left Click.

3. Holding Left Trigger goes into 'mouse mode'.

That should help.

I dont think there is a shift modifier for gamepad.. I wish there was tho.

* Its things like this why I play this game hybrid Keys+Mouse+Gamepad

The game auto selects the closest item to the astroneer. You will see the blue highlight circle around the item. You can click RT to quick grab then press X to quickly toss into your packpack.

Hi, I really like to play this game with a controller. It takes some adaptation but after it's great. the only thing I did not find is how to control the white dot when you want to make a flat surface. if anyone could help me with that, thanks in advance

When your terrain tool is out the camera gets locked behind the astroneer and the camera pivots as you move your tool pointer. You can hold the LT to lock the camera in place and just move the cursor. To flatten you need to try and get the entire tool cursor on the angle you want to start flattening at. For completely level terrain I suggest getting the Alignment mod for your tool.

JVShadow are asking for the button to press? The LB or RB will switch tool modes from deform, flatten, form.

Hi Tinfoilshorts, I don’t have any problems to change for the flatten tool but the white dot is away from the grid. I don’t understand how use the alignment tool again. I will try to lock as you said . thanks 🙂

[Tinfoilshorts]

Place the mod on one of the 3 slots on your tool. press Y to open backpack the press X to pull the tool out so you can place or take items off the Tool.

Tinfoilshorts, ok so I don’t use the same white dot for the mouse but the white dot inside the white circle that right ? Because the white dot don’t move when I use rt botton but ihave the circle..

[Tinfoilshorts]

Yes when using the controller your "cursor" is the circle that shows up when pressing LT. If you have the white dot and it isn't going away use your mouse to move it off screen. Or use big picture mode and the white dot won't show up.
I don't know why the dot is still present when the game knows your using a controller.

Ok , i am able to put mod on my tool but it's the principle of the alignment tool that I do not understand. It’s just to show if it’s flatten ? Because if I use that it’s make hole.. sorry for my English and thanks for your help

[Tinfoilshorts]

Once you place the alignment mod on the terrain tool. you will deform and form vertically. switch to flatten and it will flatten always level. if you move the cursor to above or below the astroneer it changes to a square with lines you will then form a vertical wall.

Ok it’s a lot better for me now, thank you very much for your time and your patience’s 😁
