[Console Request] Move While the Map is Open


Recommended Posts

Type: Feature Request
TAG: Quality of Life
Device: PS4, XBox One

Summary:
Allow console players to move while the map is open.
Dont Starve Together is a game about survival and time goes against hunger, sanity, and daylight. Console Players have to stop all things to check the map from one to many times while walking around and discovering the map layout, be it caves or the forest. PC players have the method to click at the edge of the screen and make the character walk thus allowing the user the ability to view the map while in motion. This causes console players a more restricted experience and doesn't allow for speedruns and a slower experience.

Request / Suggestions:
a. Utilize the left stick for player movement and right stick for navigating the map while the map is open.
b. Use the left stick for player movement and the touchpad swipe commands for looking around on the map

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to the PS4 on a test account to Dont Starve Together
2. Navigate to "Host Game"
3. Select "New World"
4. Press "Options" on the ps4 controller to start the game
5. Press "X" button once the game loads
6. Press "Options" after selecting the character
7." Hold down on the left stick" once the selected character was dropped into the world (Do not let go of the stick)
8. Press "Touchpad"
(Notice that all movement has stopped and the map is scrolling down. Console players have no method for movement while map is open unlike PC players.)

Uhm, the steps to reproduce is only needed for Bug reports.

But- PC has a Mod that puts a Tiny little map view display up in the top corner of your screen.. for detailed map viewing though- You’ll still needs to stop moving. This would be a QoL thing to have on Consoles.

Just like how GTA, Red Dead Online and State of Decay 2 do their maps/Mini-Maps

This is a brilliant suggestion.

The suggestions I was listing above was in the hopes of a simple rebinding of the keys, If they went even further above and beyond :wilson_love:
I'd take either solutions honestly. The map just shouldn't feel like its punishing the player by using it.

in computer we can click far away to make the character walk to have time to make fast checking to the map so is fair that consoles should get something similar because i dont want to fell the fear of being chase by enemies in dark and dont know where to go or where are end ways that can kill you xD
