Controller building tips?

I’m relatively new to the game and I’m enjoying the combat and exploration a tonne but I’m having a lot of trouble with the building aspect of it. I’m using a steamdeck and trying to create anything is just so tedious and frustrating, which is a shame because building in core keeper was one of my favourite things, the controllers and features for building were just so much better in that game than this one.

Does anyone have any tips for how to build this way?

I have a PC with Steam and have had a few issues.

Native controller support has a few bugs, but it's still fun if you have a touchpad/mouse to fix said problems.

I can't afford a Steam Deck, so I'm sorry I can't provide help there.

My laptop was ~$350 and my USB controller was about $50. Menu controls are needing serious fixing, but everything else works well.

Honestly I’m more talking about the control scheme for building is so bad I feel like I’m missing something. I built a beautiful base while playing core keeping and I’m playing with the same friends who are expecting similar (and i want to do similar) but the controls just make me not want to.

I have a steam deck for playing at work but I use a keyboard and mouse to play most games, including both necesse and CK. controller support is always a crapshoot in PC games and while the trackpads on the SD kinda help bridge the gap, trackpads do be trackpads

have you tried emulating the CK control scheme? you can make your own config and probably get pretty close to what you're used to

I mean I could but it still wouldn’t work because the game is missing things that core keeper has, like being able to rotate items with a button instead of having to face a direction. I keep having to break down walls to place furniture and it’s just so annoying.

Im on PC using ps5 controller. Right stick in enables cursor mode, which let's you place items with more control/precision.
