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.
no excuse for your bad lines
Screw you, the spaghetti must flow.
- Bucatini Brigade, sound off!
  
  Buca-what?
- 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
  
  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
