Can May we use only the keyboard to manipulate movement?

Mouse control direction often makes it difficult for me to align in one direction when operating. Can I use only the AWSD control direction on the keyboard?

I tried to set it in the custom move, but no matter how I modified it, the mouse still affects the direction.

If you keep the mouse directly above the cell it has a similar effect but doesn’t work with things like spikes as they would not get rotated, but would still be good for an engulfing cell.

There’s an alternate movement mod that gives some other options for movement, but I don’t think it’s available for the newest version

Switching movement mode in the options to screen relative makes it so that the mouse only controls the direction your cell looks in, and WASD directions are not affected by the mouse position. Still in this mode it is not possible to control the rotation of the cell without using the mouse. And actually even for controller input the cell rotation control is not implemented:

This is sadly one of the areas that no one else except me has done any programming work to implement these features, which means that improving the controls related to this are on the extremely long backlog and there’s basically always new bugs and features to implement as higher priority. So it’ll probably not get done anytime soon whatsoever unless someone volunteers their programming time and implements these features.

Thank you, I’ll give it a try

Thank you very much, I have tried and it can be used

Please do not double-post, you can edit your later post into the former one.
