Trouble with player control, please help :(
Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place get answers. I apologize if it isn't. I have been searching for a solution and ...alas, nowhere to be found.

I'm new to the game and desperately having trouble with my player control. My player often swings his hand (with an object in hand or without) from time to time. It's really annoying because it destroys the stuff I made. I would be standing in front of the fire we made and cooking, out of nowhere my character would swing his hand. Fire and food would go poof...I have destroyed countless things that way involuntarily. [Cries] I swear I didn't push any button on the keyboard nor the mouse clicks. My friend(host) doesn't seem to have the same issue. I confirmed with his gameplay, control, keybinds setting, everything seems to be the same tho.

Has anyone experienced the same or knows how to fix it?.

Thank you! --Cathi30909


 * Are you playing on a laptop with a trackpad? Randomly touching it with your thumb/palm is the only thing I can think of... You could also try asking on the Steam forums, which is a better place to ask about troubleshooting this kind of thing. I will move this discussion to Talk:Controls at some point. --Grendal27 (talk) 19:42, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Old lighter bug
When I have my lighter out, if I hit the 'o' key my character turns the lighter on its side like he's lighting a candle or an effigy or something. Does this work for anybody else and does it have any function yet?

Suggested Changes

 * C, E, and Z should be done through one key.
 * Adding an item from your hand to the fire should be done by E.
 * Sleeping in a shelter should be done through E as well.
 * Disagreed, I would hate to fall asleep while trying to cook food from under my log shelter.... -- Anonymous
 * Disagreed to your disagreement: the problem is, that as of now the game doesn't have a 'priority order' for which action is to take when you press E. currently E simply activates everything in range. i'm pretty sure this will change very soon.


 * A weapon toggle key.
 * A way to cancel a building construction.

The purpose of a wiki is to give people information about a certain topic, not to suggest changes to the developers. You can discuss things like that in the discussion pages or write an email to the devs if it's something serious. --CptMorgen (talk) 02:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
