Extra Controller Features

Description
Mod Info
If you tried to play the game with a controller, you might've noticed a few things that might make it hard to play with. For example:
  • You can only attack mobs you're facing
  • You can only do actions on the nearest entity (meaning you need to move to every single sapling to harvest a farm of them)
  • You can only telepoof / soul hop a set distance away from where you're standing
  • There is no way to zoom in / out
  • There is no way to walk with the map open
  • Iceboxes and Crockpots can't both be accessed at the same time
  • Structures and deployable items can only be placed in front of where you're facing
What does this mod do then, you ask? It fixes all of the above! ...or at least to some extent. To be specific:
  • You can attack nearby mobs regardless of which direction you're facing
  • Entities without an available action (such as picked plants) will not be selected unless there is nothing more important nearby
  • You can use the Right Stick to change where you want to place a structure or plantable item
  • New controls for doing things not normally supported by a controller

New Controls
Since the game uses almost every button in a standard controller already, this mod's controls rely mainly on the Left Stick Button (shown as ingame). All new controls for now are a combination of this button and another button.
  • Menu Misc 3 + Rotate Camera (+): Zoom
  • Menu Misc 3 + Alt Action (+): Walk To - lets you walk to a point in front of you in case you want to check your map while moving
  • Menu Misc 3 + Open Crafting/Open Inventory (+): Adjust distance of Walk To or Soul Hop
  • Menu Misc 3 while inventory is open (): Switch focus to open containers. It will alternate between iceboxes (or chests) and crockpots if they're open at the same time, letting you move items between them more easily.
  • Menu Scroll Up while inventory is open (): Instantly transfer items between your inventory and a container. Cooking ingredients will go into a crockpot if one is open.
  • Pause while a crockpot and the inventory are open (START): Cook. Works exactly like the "Cook" button that exists in the crockpot HUD when using mouse & keyboard
Configuation Options
It's always nice to be able to customize a mod based on personal preferences!
  • Misc Control: Change whether you want the mod's misc button controls bound to Menu Misc 3 or Menu Misc 4. Might be useful if other mods also use Menu Misc 3
  • Enable Placer Mod: Choose whether you want to use the mod's custom building method. Changing this to "No" will revert building to the game's default building method.
  • Enable Item Hotkeys: Choose whether to enable item hotkeys or not. Disabled by default. Item hotkeys let you quickly access specific items by binding them to the d-pad. To start, open your inventory, hold Right Stick + Right Bumper and press a direction on the D-Pad while selecting the item you want to bind. To select that item afterwards, you can hold the Right Stick and press the corresponding D-Pad direction. Your inventory does not need to be open for this part.

    I will be adding more features to this mod as I see necessary. I hope you enjoy playing DST with a controller with this on your side!

as a controller player who enjoys using wigfrid and willow, i think itd be really cool to tie aiming to the right joystick rather than the left

"Entities without an available action (such as picked plants) will not be selected unless there is nothing more important nearby"

this feature of the mod is amazing for when it works. some of the new additions, such as boats, don't work super well with this, causing you to just target the boat the whole time. also some mods don't work with this, such as island adventure boats.
it'd be nice to have a button combination to be able to change what you're selecting or to just be able to disable it in the config.

outside of that... somewhat minor nitpick, this mod is essential for controller, thanks for making it.

(i don't expect this to get updated since this hasn't been updated in over 4 years, just thought to still leave a comment.)

@ MEXAH Мод старее моей покойной бабушки. Лучше вот этот используй Simple Controller (*Gamepad Optimizer)

How to use crockpot repeater mod with this one? I can't find a way, but all says this mod has this functional.

Have the same conflict with Island Adventures as joshm and 42kitter. Once you get into a boat, the mod forces the game to prioritize focus on the boat, rather than the other objects around you e.g. in the ocean.

One more thing, Wilson's beard's backpack button position is very awkward, the cursor selection position function is very awkward. The direction of the right-to-left crafting bar is locked. Normally, I would like to go up from my backpack bar to make items quickly, but after the version update, I can only go up to the beard store, and I can't move right to the left crafting bar, if I move left, I will only be transferred to the producer section of the newspaper, which is very uncomfortable. Is there any chance you can fix this?:steamthumbsup:

thank you ，but I find When encountering many things, take torch，throw button is always replaced by the the burning button.

When using this mod and the Island Adventures mod , it's impossible to pick up items while in a boat. Is there any chance you can fix this?
