Keyboard Mapping!!!
Seriously, another game that i need to refund because it doesnt include an ESSENTIAL option like keymapping. We are in the year 2020, and we are playing A COMPUTER GAME. For god's sake. Every single pc gamer needs an option to remap keys, sorry but any single game that does not include this option says too little about the devs emselves. As i said, another chunky game i need to ask for a refund because of this. Frikkin lazy devs...

You can change the keybinds of all blocks, to do so just select the blocks you want to change the keybinds of, click the gear icon and you can change them at the bottom left corner. The only controlls you can't change are core controlls (moving the character while outside a vehicle, entering/leaving build mode, repairing, respawning, etc), if you have a different keyboard layout you can change it in main menu->preferences->settings->keyboard layout to map those to the equivalent keybind on your keyboard though

The issue is not just different keyboards from different countries. The main issue is that current layout is not very ergonomic and is rather unconventional. Buttons like Insert and Delete are not commonly used in games so not many people are used to reaching across the keyboard. On top of that many keyboards don't even have those buttons any more. Alt for rotating is understandable, but why Ctrl for selection? Shift is way more ergonomic and more common in other games (for crouching and such). Shift+Alt for rotating the other way? Why not right-click or something, again, more common and convenient.

As Agent West said, its not just about different keyboards, you dont get it.

A game designed FOR PC should have accesibility settings to allow people to remap every single key. I play every single game with the right numpad + mouse and you are forcing me to move my entire hand to the left just to rotate, select or whatever.. thats moronic, and of course not acceptable. Not to mention the movement keys. AWSD, dude, NO. Thats dumb. A pc game that uses awsd as defautl keys and has no option to remap, its completely stupid. AWSD are the worst key and they are "famous" for being the first keys you could use but almost NOBODY uses them. That only shows the complete ignorance and lack of interest from the devs part. And of course, in the moment i see something like that, i automatically uninstall the game. Even if it is the best game in the world. Im tired of seeing crappy pc games with a total lack of actual accesibility in the year 2020, its ridiculous. I could understand that in crappy and cheap ports from console to pc, but i cant accept that in proper pc games. Not in the year 2020.
