There is no controller support.

I use an Xbox One controller without issue.
The controller acts like a mouse in the menus.

+1 for controller support!
Only reason I'm unsure at this point

[zunder]

it isn't controller friendly (yet). i have an xbox one controller. most of the prompts are still for keyboard and mouse. you can't remap any buttons. some buttons don't work/don't do what the tooltip says they will. TL;DR: i couldn't really play it with a controller, although it's clear some work has been done on controller support. and to be fair, the store page doesn't advertise controller support.

You can do a lot with the controller, using Xbox360 controller myself, you still need to use mouse and keyboard as well but most things can be done with controller, it just takes a bit of getting used to and working out what does what, some menus need to be closed with mouse while others will close with the controller, definitely playable with a controller and is an awesome game worth the extra hassle.
You could always set up an Xpadder profile as well for more control.

so my main question now would be, can i play mostly with controller up until say, menus. like can i scroll through hotbar, fight npc's and ♥♥♥♥ but as soon as i go into a menu i have to switch to K/M? im asking because im a truck driver and only have a laptop. no real place to put a mouse to enjoy any game to the fullest unless it's controller friendly.

Please add controller support! Currently I'm playing using a steam controller, but it really is just a workaround and not really pleasant to play with.

If you have steam, you have built in controller support for every game.

Most people i know create controller profiles for all their games using the steam control software and like it better than any normal normal built in game support for controllers (for any game).

Have you tried using the community profiles for Satisfactory? I highly recommend the Nevir profile if you are using a 'Steam Controller'.

You can use any controller on almost any game on Steam ... here is one (of millions) of videos on youtube explaining it:

I use a 360 controller with it and have set up a profile for it through Steam.

LB = Deconstruct (default was Scanner but I don't use that enough now to justify it, so I changed it to Decon)
RB = Build menu (still need to select the item with the mouse)
LT = Secondary weapon/detonate bombs
RT = Fire
Up = Ping (whatever that does - default setting so I left it)
Down = Flashlight/Headlights (when they do work)
Left/Right = Cycle handheld items
Left Stick = Click to Run/WASD
Right Stick = Map/Camera while in vehicle
A = Activate (corresponds to E prompt to interact with machinery and whatnot)
B = Jump (Space)
X = Reload
Y = Inventory (TAB)

It works for the most part, but, as was said, you still need to use the mouse and KB a fair amount.
Also, you can exit a menu by pressing (A), which is something the original controller support lacked - you had to hit ESC, sometimes the (B) button. It was quite inconsistent. This profile is more consistent. I chose those settings because they were closer to the original from when I started playing, but you could set it up to match whatever game you're more familiar with, like Skyrim or Witcher, for example.

Scrolling through Hotbars still takes Mouse and KB, and selecting those items still takes the Number buttons across the top. No biggie, because it's faster that way, though you may need to wiggle the mouse before it'll let you scroll.

damn guys, this community is a lot better than most. no arguing or nothing. ♥♥♥♥ lol

[Masternaut]

No it doesn't. It's half baked and you still gonna need the mouse for some tasks....

[Masternaut]

You could easily use Xpadder but there's no way to turn off the basic controller support so Xpadder gets overwritten by the game.
