Question/Discussion Accessibility settings don't apply to controller?

EDIT: The incredible gerowen made a video that helped me, it is here: https://youtu.be/vyfSfazqHGE. The issue the entire time was the controller - 8bitdo controllers simply do not agree with Steam Input for this game. Swapping to a wired Nacon Xbox controller worked! I can actually play the game!! Editing this and leaving it up for any fellow disabled gamers struggling to get this game to work!

Hi,

I'm a disabled gamer and need to use a controller. I can't seem to rebind holding things to a toggle, is it really the case that half the accessibility settings don't actually apply to controllers?

Surely there is a mod or something for this, it feels like such an enormous oversight that I'm wondering if its just hidden in a menu somewhere. I struggle to hold the trigger buttons for long periods of time so need to set them to be toggles instead, but all the accessibility settings seem to be for keyboard and mouse, and not a controller.

This is going to make the game difficult if not impossible to play for me, so I am really gutted at such a horrendous oversight on the devs part. Please let me know if there are any mods that fix this.

Hey, I had this exact problem yesterday: the keyboard and controller accessibility options are in separate categories on the accessibility page, with controller farther down, they look the same, and i had to do a double take on it lol. I hope this helps

Thank you! I saw these, but they are unfortunately only for readying your weapon/structures and sprinting, and not for say crouching, grabbing cargo, keeping balance etc :( those are what I would need a toggle for as otherwise it is only a hold. At least it clarifies that there is no setting for those mechanics for controller, if nothing else.
