1.0 and no auto run?

[Jin Shepard]

So i played this in EA and stopped playing due to the huge strain on my fingers. A super simple and easy fix would be an auto run. So i stopped, thinking that in 1.0 it would surely be in it.
To my surprise it still inst in it? Or am I missing it? I just cannot play this game without auto run feature..

I downloaded a clicker holder app… now I just hit f6 and I auto run

No, the OP wants an option to make their character move without holding the W key. Common in MMOs where you do an extensive amount of running.

I am definitely not opposed to this kind of a feature but seriously OP, you shouldn't be straining your fingers on something like this. I've had by fair share of issues with straining fingers, mostly when using controllers for several hours playing fighting games. mashing face buttons for hours at a time makes the ends of your thumbs really sore. However, there should be absolutely no finger strain caused by pressing a button on a keyboard. It's not like you're holding a button for hours at a time.

Based on this I'm guessing this is something that happens to you in other video games too. So my advice is to buy a keyboard that doesn't require you to hurt your fingers to press it's buttons. Unless you have the most delicate fingers I've ever heard about in my life, your keys are probably just too resistant, or may even have a shape or a texture that makes this problem even more pronounced.

What you're describing should definitely not be happening and it's weird that it does. But I guarantee you that if you get a keyboard that has switches with low resistance your problem will disappear.

Especially in a game like this where you aren't really pressing any of the buttons for extended periods of time.

... yes, and switching Hold to Sprint to Off means that sprint becomes a mode you can toggle off and on. You press sprint once and then you're always in a run state without having to hold it down.

The option you're looking for is to turn Hold to Sprint to Off in the settings as mentioned, OP.

Your misplaced confidence is funny. There is a difference between auto run and auto sprint. Fenix got it correctly and gave his own solution to the problem.

If you still don't understand what the OP is talking about, here's an example of this feature form another video game: https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Autorun

You're confusing Auto Run with Sprint, 2 different things.
DaBa even explained it... It's like Holding W or Forward but without touching the keyboard
You press one button and you run (or walk) Forward forever.
I'm using a program that Holds W for me by hitting F6, since the game doesn't have it.

Mmmhh... if you got issues with running in the world of Satisfactory, I can only imagine the amount of issues you will have once you reach Phase 4 building huge stuff, running back and forth, flying up and down, connecting and snapping stuff to stuff on your construction site.

I think running will be the least of your problems in terms of finger acrobatics required to manage a construction site in 3D.

Turn auto run on, use mouse to turn, also have space (Jump) mapped to one of the side buttons on the mouse.... never have to touch the keyboard while going to my where ever it is. Also forward Glide with the Parachute, Launch myself Straight Up with a Hypertube launcher and peacefully glide my way to my destination, While I eat IRL

So narcissism is... (checks notes): recommending a real solution to a real problem somebody has. ummm, okay sure.

TBF, What you said was kinda dumb, not everyone is the same, and pains in the hands and fingers can happen to people for a lot of reason, in a very short amount time.
The older I get the less it takes for the pain to show up.
Like Playing Shooters Like High on Life, I can only do for about an hour before wrist won't let me play, it hurts so much.

Yeah I know all that. And a great solution is getting a keyboard that accommodates that by having low resistance switches. That's what people who type a lot do as well, not just to be able to type even faster but also to lower the strain it causes.

Not true. This game activated my carpel tunnel in my wrist and it was pretty severe. I had to stop gaming and playing hockey for like a month. The pain was insane. Even my elbow started to hurt. Went to the doctor. They said theres nothing I can do other than wear a brace. Its just a part of getting older.

Controllers I am okay with, but keyboards really hurt my hands now. Which sucks because I write software for a living too lol. This game certainly didnt cause the carpel tunnel, but it sure as hell activated the pain like nothing else in my life ever has.

I'd hardly say its dumb.
Ergonomics is a big thing, and some games will have you doing things that make stuff ache quicker than others. Holding W for relatively short periods shouldn't be one of them. If it is, you (they) probably do need to look at your (their) setup.

Autorun would certainly be nice though ><

Yeah for me I just want my left hand free, I can drink a soda/eat something while piloting my character with the mouse.
