Controls

Movement

You can move around the game world by using [[[keybind="MoveUp"][keybind="MoveLeft"][keybind="MoveDown"][keybind="MoveRight"]]]. When holding down [[[keybind="Walk"]]], you'll walk, stopping you from slipping on the ground.

You can switch walking to a toggle in the controls menu.

Pulling objects is done with [[[keybind="TryPullObject"]]]. While pulling, you can drag an object to your mouse cursor using [[[keybind="MovePulledObject"]]]. Pressing [[[keybind="ReleasePulledObject"]]] releases the item you are currently dragging.

You may find yourself in a situation with '''low gravity.''' This will cause your character to drift around when moving. When off-station, you will be unable to control your direction. Throwing objects or spraying a fire-extinguisher can help propel yourself while in this state.

Interactions

General interactions are done with [[[keybind="Use"]]]. These are context-sensitive and are affected by the item in your active hand. You can also use [[[keybind="AltActivateItemInWorld"]]] to perform alternate interactions.

To perform basic interactions, use [[[keybind="ActivateItemInWorld"]]]. This is like interacting with nothing in hand. Pressing [[[keybind="ActivateItemInHand"]]] has the same effect with the currently held item. It's most used for performing basic interaction while holding something, such as opening a door when your hands are full.

Hovering over an entity and pressing [[[keybind="UIRightClick"/]]] brings up the context menu. This not only allows you to sort through large piles of items, but also to perform additional interactions.

Examining things is done with [[[keybind="ExamineEntity"]]], which brings up a window with the object's name, a small description, and any other relevant details. Examining things around you can help you learn what they do and what properties they have.

Hands

Using [[[keybind="Use"]]] on items in the world will pick them up and put them into your active hand. You can swap which hand is currently active using [[[keybind="SwapHands"]]].

You can drop the item you are holding using [[[keybind="Drop"]]] or alternatively throw it to your cursor with [[[keybind="ThrowItemInHand"]]].

Inventory

You can open you inventory using [[[keybind="OpenInventoryMenu"]]]. Each slot on your HUD can be filled with an appropriate item or piece of clothing.

Two of the slots on the hotbar correspond to your bag and belt. You can open them using [[[keybind="ActivateItemInWorld"]]] on them or by clicking the icon in the bottom-right.

Pressing [[[keybind="MoveStoredItem"]]] will take an item out of the bag. Holding it down will let you drag the item to a different spot. While dragging, pressing [[[keybind="RotateStoredItem"]]] will rotate the item.

You can still do all regular interactions with items in your bag, including examining and opening the context menu.

Camera

The camera can zoom in and out with [[[keybind="ZoomIn"]]] and [[[keybind="ZoomOut"]]] and can be reset with [[[keybind="ResetZoom"]]]. Similarly, you can rotate it left and right with [[[keybind="CameraRotateLeft"]]] and [[[keybind="CameraRotateRight"]]]. You can recenter it to the grid's rotation using [[[keybind="CameraReset"]]].
