  2. Set waypoints early - Use Shift+B to mark your base, villages, and important locations

  3. Voice chat is proximity-based - The closer you are to someone, the louder they sound

For Create Users

  • Hold W while holding a Create item to see animated guides (Ponder)
  • Left Alt gives quick access to wrenches and Create tools
  • Use goggles (from Create) to see stress/speed info on contraptions

Performance Tips

  • Toggle shaders with Ctrl+K if you need better FPS
  • Hide the minimap with M during intense moments
  • Close the REI panel with Ctrl+O for a cleaner screen

Context-Dependent Keybinds

Some keys won't conflict because they only work in specific situations:

  • C: Pitch Mode (only with cannons) vs. Chat Position (only in fullscreen map)
  • H: Hide Voice Icons (general) vs. Disable Buttons (only in fullscreen map)
  • Left Alt: All Create mod features work together contextually
