Keyboard Controls



The Keyboard Controls for Astroneer.

Rebinding keys
You can rebind any of the keys listed above, by pressing escape and going to options then controls. From there you can rebind all the controls. However some of the things you can edit are limited.

The location for the WINDOWS 10 version (your local files) is:

C:\Users\[NAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\SystemEraSoftworks.blah_blah\LocalState\Astro\Saved\Config\UWP\ In that UWP folder should be a "GameUserSettings.ini" file that stores the LOCAL keybindings.

The below is the location for the *.ini file in the STEAM version of the game:

"C:\Users\[NAME]\AppData\Local\Astro\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor" Again in that folder should be a "GameUserSettings.ini" file that stores the LOCAL keybindings.

From what I can tell the *.ini files between STEAM and WIN10 are the same. (I did not do an exhaustive comparison)

Now you should be able to update keybindings (especially for the vehicles) an some options not available through the options menu. Use at your own risk and be sure to make a back up file in case you booger it up! GOOD LUCK!

For example, mouse sensitivity is:
 * AxisName="LookUpRate",Key=MouseY,Scale=-1.000000
 * AxisName="TurnRate",Key=MouseX,Scale=1.000000

Be aware the convention in the *.ini file is the "normal name" and its scaled negative under the same name.

Meaning, "MoveForward" by default is set to "Key=W" with a "Scale=1".

This means "MoveBackward" (which doesn't exist) is actually "MoveForward", "Key=S" with a "Scale=-1"  ---> ! NOTICE THE NEGATIVE!

Some of us like WASD, or maybe ESDF. Here is an example of both your astronaut (astroneer) and your vehicle working under ESDF.
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="VehicleThrottle",Key=E,Scale=1.000000)
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="VehicleThrottle",Key=D,Scale=-1.000000)
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward",Key=E,Scale=1.000000)
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveForward",Key=D,Scale=-1.000000)
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight",Key=F,Scale=1.000000)
 * AxisMappings=(AxisName="MoveRight",Key=S,Scale=-1.000000)

Also, ensure the "UseAbsoluteSteering" is on, or true. This will cause the rover to use the "MoveRight" commands above to steer.
 * bVehiclesUseAbsoluteSteering=True

Quick keyboard assists
When picking up an item, hitting Tab will place it directly into your backpack if there is free space without having to place it manually.
