Controller support

[rbrlrose23]

I was planning on buying the game but am unsure if there is controller support. If there isn’t does anyone recommend any steam configurations for controller?

Ive made a layout for a controller, 'Derail Valley' Diesel/Steam. Ive incorporated both types of engines into the controller, along with the turntable controls in the Roundhouse... when standing near the turntable use the right joystick Left/Right to change direction. I hope this helps you in your game play. (Sidenote; This setup has no mouse controls on the right side joystick, you MUST use your mouse for directional controls) abxy buttons are the manual gearbox controls and Firebox valve controls(Water/Blower) for the Steam engine..

Pretty sure this can be achieved with a mod. This specifically. https://www.nexusmods.com/derailvalley/mods/687

I used it to bind my 3 lever flight throttle in game and it works awesome. So far Ive only driven the first train with it (3 levers is perfect for that one).

Update: thanks for the help I have everything bound in steam input

There is community mapping etc but none I’ve find very good compared to other train sims very hard work on steam deck etc so it could definitely do with proper controller support

Is there any chance of "Raildriver" support coming?.

Something like this must be possible, so that you can connect all kinds of controllers.
It's been possible in the Eurotrucksimulator for 10 years, no matter what you connect, everything can be controlled.

Eventually we do plan to add controller support, hopefully in the next 1-2 years, along with proper key remapping. Due to many ongoing long-term developments, it's hard to say when that will make its turn. Raildriver support is planned to be included, too.

I’m glad to hear it, for now, I’m using steam layout that is popular and it’s working pretty good.
