How exactly does one use a controller for coligrinding? Not asking for a friend, asking for myself because even coligrinding now is a pain in the hands
So I got this from another post floating around but I can't find it exactly, so I'll just talk about how I use one.
I use a program called AntiMicro which binds keyboard buttons to a game controller. I use an Xbox controller but I've used a Playstation controller for my computer too so I'm sure it'll match up with that one as well.
You're going to want to download the program (link). I'm using AntiMicro, but there is an updated one called AntiMicroX which I've linked. The original one is still pretty good for me, but hey do as you wish.
So once you've downloaded this program and plugged in your controller, you're going to get a screen like this.
From here, you can just bind the keys from the coli to whatever buttons you want and you're ready to go! And it doesn't have to be just the buttons, I actually use the directional stick to pick my enemies.
This is my specific set up, and I have it like this to minimize how much I move my wrist and fingers. But do as y'all wish.
You do need to have this program open whenever you go and play in the coli with a controller. And be sure FlightRising is your active window if you have multiple windows open because any accidental misclicks will be as if you're mashing your keyboard :V
And that's how you use a controller for the coli! Ever since I changed over it has been SO MUCH EASIER to coli for hours on end. Less pain, less confusion of which enemy you pick. It's great, I highly suggest it.
And this goes for everyone else, please don't push yourself this upcoming NotN if your fingers/wrists/hands start hurting! The controller is a godsend, but not an excuse to go for hours and hours on end.
Baring that, have fun and enjoy your new coli experience!
HAPPY NOTN EVERYONE!
Here is a list I made that let's you use a controller for the coli for those that have difficulties using the keyboard or general mouse use.
I've used it, and it works great for coli grinding and not hurting yourself.
That being said: PLEASE still pace yourself! This is a two week long event. You're going to have enough time to get all the things you want
And if you don't? They come back next year.
So have fun everyone and enjoy your new coli experience!
