v0.5.21.2303 Hotfix | Gamepad Portal Targeting & Map Sync Stability

Hello everyone! This update targets a common controller and Steam Deck pain point: lining up a Portal on the map. The selection frame is larger, nearby Portals snap into focus, and analog map panning now supports fine input, sustained acceleration, and quicker braking. We also fixed a serious Map Sync Station stall that could disconnect other players.

More Precise Portal Targeting on Gamepad

Previously, selecting a Portal with a controller or Steam Deck often required repeated, pixel-perfect adjustments. Three changes make that process easier:

• Larger selection frame. Your current aim point is easier to read at a glance. (HYM-11-11)

• Portal snap targeting. Move near an available Portal and the map will center on it and highlight the icon—no more pixel hunting to select it. (taichunmin)

• Analog acceleration and braking. Light stick input gives you fine control; hold a direction to build speed across the map; release to stop quickly.

Other Fixes

• Fixed a serious issue where a Steam Deck host could stall for around 20 seconds while loading map data or uploading through the Map Sync Station, disconnecting other players. (taichunmin)

• Fixed an issue where teleporting directly to a camp that requires a specific transformation could leave you trapped inside. You will now arrive outside the entrance and can leave normally. (麻麻辣辣爆炒章鱼)

• While moving an object with the Hammer on gamepad, pressing A now confirms placement without also opening a chest or workstation ahead, or picking up a torch. (taichunmin)

• Cooking recipe details now show the finished item’s sell price directly, without leaving the recipe window. (HYM-11-11)

Current Development Focus

Our most important ongoing engineering effort is separating player data from world data. As the current version stabilizes, fix-focused releases may be less frequent than before, but development remains active and this work is moving forward.
