Creating a page with advice from two players.
'''Project Gorgon''' is compatible with the [[Steam Deck]]. This page shares advice and feedback from a few players.
==== Jackencola's Advice ====
{{Quote|source=[[Developers|Admin Jackencola]](Discord) - November 28, 2022|
Game runs fine on the Deck. On the highest graphic settings, I get 30-40fps in busy areas, so there's plenty of room to tweak and adjust. The default controls are fairly comfortable, although there is of course a learning curve if you're used to kb/mouse. If you're going to use it in dock mode with a kb/mouse, then those issues won't exist. I have not personally tested playing in dock mode.
There is a bit of a jerk for loading stuff if you run toward a busy area, but once it's all loaded it runs normal.

==== Chompy's Advice ====

Overall it worked really well and much better than I expected. Pretty much every hotkey that's important is mappable. I collected a few thoughts on how to improve the experience but none of these were particularly problematic and I don't think they warrant being high priority

{{Quote|source=Chompy Nibblers (Discord) - January 18, 2023| I think I saved/published my controller settings as "pg custom chomp". Requires remapping some keys in-game too though:
I disabled Q/E strafe and instead will hold the left trigger (right click) so that the left joystick swaps horizontals from turning to strafe and the right joystick turns/angles. While not holding right click I have no strafe.
*'''E''' - Use selected
*'''R''' - Select next non-combatant
*'''T''' - Move Up
*'''G''' - Move Down
*'''L''' - Open crafting menu
*'''Disable keybind for:''' Ctrl+D opens skills menu
Optional:
*'''Ctrl+Numlock''' - open saddlebag
*'''Alt+1...Alt+9''' - loadout 1 through 9
Edit: I still have not mapped hotkeys associated with selecting party members. This could make healing difficult, I use alt+# for loadouts but changing those hotkeys in-game to selecting each party member might work too (e.g., alt+1 selects first party member)

==== Reported Concerns ====
1. When steering with the left joystick, Autorun can become disabled when a W or S input is read.
2. If you use a held right-click to steer while moving (because doing so makes the left joystick swap from steering to strafing), if the cursor is over a menu or sidebar when right click is initially held down, it will not enable the steering.
3. Chatting can be tedious without a peripheral keyboard.
4. Actions that do not have hotkeys can be more tedious when performed on Steam Deck. Both controlling pets and moving items between inventory bags are mouse-heavy tasks.
5. If you want to inspect individual pieces of loot before you collect it off a corpse, this requires extra cursor movements as loot re-center-aligns itself when one item is collected.
6. Changing zoom levels can be tough. (Following Chompy's control suggestions above can improve this)
7. There is a visual bug in some zones (like Eltibule) where trees behind walls may render in front of walls.
