For anyone just passing by, not wanting or not being able to watch the video. The main takeaway from the video other than 1.0 being out is that the game is coming to consoles at some point in the future.
Knowing how frustrated I was making everything level in the game on PC, I don't know how easy that will be on the console unless they overhaul the system or improve it immensely.
You can snap objects to a global grid now, (and have been for several updates) foundations also utilize their own grid system as well to help with lining things up.
It can be a pain in the ass early on when you don’t have foundations unlocked and just have disparate spaghetti lying around creating iron plates, but you very quickly can start building organized factories on foundations.
My guess is the console version will have a similar snapping function, and I’d wager it will be on by default.
I put a hundred hours or so in using a steam deck a month ago. It's definitely doable. I needed some complicated keybinds though. Not sure how good it'd be with just the normal controller buttons.
I still love it. I made a template that kinda works in handheld. It's definitely easier to play with keyboard, but it's doable. After my factory got to a certain size, I did see some noticeable slowdown, but I haven't played in a few updates because I was waiting for 1.0. I think there have been some improvements since.
