You're telling me I can now comfortably play Satisfactory from my couch? This is going to have a profoundly negative effect on my health
Physical health or mental health?
Yes
Life expectancy with FICSIT is projected to free fall.
This game made me late for work the first week I played it.
Screw you, the spaghetti must flow.
Bucatini Brigade, sound off!
Buca-what?
I think it's a pasta joke
Sauce?
Ah.
Nuuu! You must manifold everything or you're not playing right! /s
I don't see the point. How are you going to alt-tab back and forth between the game and Excel with a controller? Pfffft.
Edit: Do controllers even HAVE an autosum shortcut?
Only peasants use 1 device. Spreadsheet be on a separate monitor
PC for the Game, Laptop for Satisfactory Modeller, tablet for wiki, and a paper notepad and pen for writing down numbers.
like basically everything Coffee Stain puts out, it's really well done, controller integration has been flawless so far, great game and a great team!
I was worried about this. The game has so many hotkeys, I have no idea how a controller would handle them. Lots of contextual button mappings.
After I played FFXIV on controller, I no longer have this worry in general. (It has 64 or so hotbar spots) Toggled by holding down with L1/L2 or both, or in reverse and some other fun stuff.
It works flawlessly
Honestly even in Kingdom Hearts 1, there was an L1 menu for spells behind the other menus.
As a FFXIV controller player as well, it's really not that bad.
It's not a spaceship, it's a videogame.
I'm still waiting for the stable release. Mostly because I'm not prepared to lose another 200-300 hours.
Stable? 1.0 already dropped
Controller support is in the experimental 1.1 branch
I never offered any excuses for my bad lines.
Manifolds or bust!
EVEN SPLIT OR GTFO GAAAAAAH
Manifold is just compact even split.
About freaking time
Now do a Mac port
