👨🚀🚀🪐 Build and manage a space station for aliens and mecha cats! And it's the year 3020.
We are very happy to share with you the news that Steam administration has granted our game the status of compatibility with the Steam Deck handheld console.

How did this happen? We didn't officially submit such a request, Steam brought our game to our attention on its own. One morning, I woke up one fine morning and started checking my email, where there was an email saying that Steam had checked our game on Steam Deck. This lifted my spirits for the day!

[h2]How does the game run on Steam Deck?[/h2]
It runs quite well and stable. Despite not having game controller support yet, it's a pleasure to play on Steam Deck. Why? We've added our own official layout for the Steam Deck controller by assigning various game functionality to the keys.
[b]Small text[/b]
Steam has given us the status that we have small text. However, unless you have vision problems, you will see everything written in the game just fine. Steam wants us to increase the text by 20-30%, and this is quite a difficult task for us. It's very difficult to fit all the text in a game like ours if it's going to be huge.
[b]Displaying indicators not related to Steam Deck[/b]
This is not any particular problem. In-game tooltips sometimes display the names of keyboard shortcuts. Steam wants us not to display this on their device. We will fix this issue in the near future.

[h2]Controls in the game[/h2]
As I told you above, we made a special layout for Steam Deck. You can see the assignment of various buttons in the game setup, to do this you need to click on the icon of the game controller. The set of buttons is as follows:
[list]
[*] Right stick - cursor control.
[*] Left stick or D-Pad - move the camera on the station.
[*] A - click or action.
[*] B - cancel action, close window.
[*] X - enable/disable the station construction mode.
[*] Y - go to the laboratory with technology tree.
[*] L1 - 1x speed of the game.
[*] R1 - 2x speed of the game.
[*] L3 (left stick click) - freeze/unfreeze the game on the station.
[*] L2 - zoom out the station's camera.
[*] R2 - zoom in on the station camera.
[*] L4 - rest area.
[*] Menu (Start) - show main menu.
[*] View (left button in the same shape as Menu) - call the scanner during document check.
[*] Up - refuse the visitor (send the elevator upstairs) during document check. The button must be pressed until the elevator leaves.
[*] Down - approve the visitor (send the elevator down) during document check. You need to press the button until the elevator leaves.

[h2]Support for XBox controller and others?[/h2]
We plan to add official support for many popular game controllers in the near future. We are in the process of developing this feature.
[h2]Your wishes? Opinions?[/h2]
We want to keep improving Steam Deck and controller support. Write in the comments about your ideas and what you think should be changed in the current support. Maybe you don't like something or something annoys you when you play on Steam Deck. Tell us about it!
