discussion Fellow controller players.

How is the new crafting ui? Me personally, I like it a lot. Being able to move while crafting! Impossible, yet it isn't. Actually now I realize how outdated some of our controller limitations are. Why can't you move while managing your inventory? Why can't you move while in the map? These things are possible too.

Of course, muscle memory isn't so kind to me, but if I got use to terraria console 1.4 controls, I'll surely get used to this too. Plus in both cases the new controls are better.

But that's just me, I want to hear other controller players thoughts on this too.

The crafting UI is very good, at the moment it feels a little bit weird to use but im pretty sure I just need time to get used to. 

I do agree that we could use some changes to the controller, I especially wish a change in the way teleportation works (or any action that puts that little circle in front of the character in general) so we could use it with less limitations.

The reason it feels so off is because you no longer exit the menu with (B) or whatever it's PS counterpart is.

Circle. And I already made this suggestion. This feature should return. Every game Circle/B is exit.

I will be adding this back on Monday

I love it so far the only complaint I have so far is the speed of scrolling through items(not the actual tabs or the scroller on the right side) unless I spam a direction. Its like the previous UI where if you wanted to say scroll over to a thermal stone it would take forever lol. If I hold a direction it should go at the speed it goes when your say doing stuff in your inventory. If that makes sense?

My only complaints are that B on an Xbox controller should exit all the Craft UI hud (LT) AND also the Inventory Hud (RT)

However.. Certain characters and actions are already bound to the B Button such as Wortox Soul Hops or Turning On/Off a Lantern.

A button used to craft things but now for some reason it’s now Down on the D-pad, which is fine I guess.. but after 13 years of pressing A to craft things, pressing Down on the D-pad just screws with my brains Memory, And yes.. I’ve actually almost died several times trying to craft a campfire or Torch with the new UI.

And for me on Xbox the search bar filter does not seem to work at all, I typed in the word Darksword and it should’ve highlighted Darksword and what I need to craft one, but instead it doesn’t do anything.. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or if it’s just bugged.

The first time I used the UI I was scrolling through my inventory (left all the way through backpack slots till you reach the Craft UI Tab to craft Pinned items) There is a much FASTER way of doing that by pressing Up on the analog stick instead.. However- I’m used to the Old way of press LT to Open this Menu and Craft, so Maybe instead of pressing Up on the analog stick or scrolling Left till you reach this inventory: Pressing LT can move you to the Favorites Tab, while Double pressing LT x2 opens up the full Craft Menu?

Reasons I say this is because when I want to scroll through my Backpack inventory to quickly access something in my Backpack, that Extra Analog press Up/Left moves you to the favorites tab, & out of your backpack inventory where you may have needed to eat the MeatyStew in your top left inventory slot before starving, or to access the Lantern you had in that slot just before darkness kills you.

Reverting this back to pressing LT to access Favorites this (the closed version of the menu with your pinned favorites) and A to craft would make it feel like the OLD UI I was so used to.

Thanks if you actually took the time to read my Console feedback

Its going to be hard for me not to request mouse and keyboard support in any topic dealing with controllers. Next QOL maybe? Ive wanted it for a long time, and now seems the most oppurtune where they are fresh off of working with updated control scheme with the new menu and the switch implementation.

Yes! Same here. I think Monday they will bring back the "B exit".

But agree it's annoying when you are in your inventory and suddenly goes to menu. They should change this someway.

I think I'm "better" now with the new UI, the pin feature is ok, the fav tab ok. The search bar is useless and duplicated items unnecessary.
