Controller Update: full gamepad support, new towns, music and many fixes

Full controller support

• Fully playable on a gamepad: on foot, in vehicles and machines, in every menu and on the map. Mouse/keyboard and controller switch automatically.
• Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo button icons; every prompt follows the active device and your own bindings.
• Consistent controls: E / X picks up and carries, F / Y uses things and switches any device on and off (pumps, generators, lights, fridge, winch ...).
• LB + D-pad down puts away whatever is in your hand, including the detector. Hotbar on the D-pad, quick wheel by holding View.
• Text fields open an on-screen keyboard on a controller, or the Steam keyboard when Steam offers one.
• Lighting fires, cooking, sleeping, the trommel, wash tray, dry blower, fridge and bore head are all operated with F / Y.
• All vehicles drive with the triggers. Excavator with drive and work modes, ISO/SAE selectable, every function rebindable. Camera zoom on RB/LB, free 360° camera in vehicles.
• Controller settings: sensitivity, inversion, dead zone, vibration, per-situation rebinding with conflict hints.

World and wildlife

• Fixed 16x16 km map with two new towns: Coolabah Ford on the river and Quartz Hill in the goldfields.
• New animals: kangaroos, wallabies, emus, Tasmanian devils and quokkas. Dangerous: dingo packs at night and wild boar by the river. Fire, light and warning shots keep dingoes away.
• Hunting and grilling: a real grill grate on the cookset; place meat, flip it, take it off, don't burn it. Cooked meat keeps in the fridge.
• Bandages at the General Store, field tips in the handbook.
• Everyone in town has a new character model, idle movements and gestures.

Prospecting, water and vehicles

• No limit on claims. Flooded pits must be pumped out before you can dig on.
• Suction strainer for the remote pump: lay the hose end in the water; if the pump draws air, it runs dry.
• New right-hand-drive outback wagon in white and blue, new quad with trailer, dirt bike and an old crawler dozer.
• Parked vehicles stay put on slopes and loose cargo no longer slides. Drivers and co-op partners sit visibly in cabs.
• Eleven new playable characters with dyeable hair and clothing; in co-op every character holds tools properly.

Comfort, look and sound

• Calm background music for day, night and the main menu, with quiet breaks in between.
• New conversation and confirmation windows, wider inventory preview, compact menu buttons.
• Flashlight without huge shadows from held items; a hint and torch icon when it gets dark.
• Lay out a bedroll and sleep in it; carry limit 60 kg.
• No more distant flicker; default anti-aliasing MSAA 4x + FXAA, sharper ground in the distance.
• Prices, amounts and litres in your local format; about 1,000 texts revised in all 31 languages.

Performance and fixes

• Fewer hitches when equipping items, buying vehicles and entering them for the first time; far fewer draw calls in camp and towns; background saving.
• Fixed a rare freeze while loading a new game.
• Putting things down and digging on a controller work reliably; bank, shop and office counters show the right button; loans warn before they are due.
• Wet season persists after loading; no more rain inside the caravan or cabs.
• The parked crawler dozer no longer bounces; a packed field site can be set up again on the same spot.
