About this mod
As an ESDF player, it sucks that Exocraft forward/backward is not changeable. This is the fix/workaround.

Woes of The Non-WASD
Imagine it's 2024 and you're playing NMS for the first time (not me in this case, but play along). You are a non-WASD user, due to using ESDF (like me), you're left-handed, using an AZERTY keyboard, etc. and there is no option to rebind the Exocraft forward/reverse movement keys.
Now imagine you search Nexus for a mod to fix this issue - no relevant results. You turn to the steam forums/guides and mostly find AutoHotKey recommendations. You move on to google, and it's dozens of results of people complaining about the same issue for 5+ YEARS. Half a dozen link clicks later, you finally find a thread where someone posts this workaround.
Absolutely ridiculous.
FULL DISCLAIMER
First and foremost, I DO NOT TAKE ANY CREDIT for finding/coming up with this workaround. That goes to the people out there that posted this in various places. With some google/forum searching you can EVENTUALLY come across a thread that has this posted. I'm just "paying it forward" to be more visible here on Nexus.
The Fix/Solution/Workaround
- Open <yoursteamdir>\No Man's Sky\Binaries\SETTINGS\TKGAMESETTINGS.MXML in notepad
- Paste the following anywhere within the <Data> tag
<Property name="KeyMapping2" value="GcInputActionMapping2.xml">
<Property name="ActionSet" value="VehicleMode" />
<Property name="Action" value="Vehicle_Forward" />
<Property name="Button" value="KeyE" />
<Property name="Axis" value="None" />
</Property>
<Property name="KeyMapping2" value="GcInputActionMapping2.xml">
<Property name="ActionSet" value="VehicleMode" />
<Property name="Action" value="Vehicle_Reverse" />
<Property name="Button" value="KeyD" />
<Property name="Axis" value="None" />
</Property> - Change "KeyE" and "KeyD" to your preference.
- Enjoy being able to control your Exocraft the same way you control everything else!
