✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,708 endorsements and over 61k downloads.
- Simple key remapping that makes Seaglide controls feel more natural.
- The map default-off option is a godsend for players who hate the overlay.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2019 — may not work with the latest Subnautica patches.
- Only affects the Seaglide — if you wanted broader control remapping, this won't help.
For Subnautica players who find the default Seaglide controls awkward and want a quick fix. Also great for those who want to keep the map hidden until needed. Skip if you're on a newer game version or want more comprehensive control overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2019, check if it's compatible with your Subnautica version before installing.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, you can install it directly; otherwise, drop the files into the game's BepInEx plugins folder if you have BepInEx installed.
- Test the new controls in a safe area first to get used to the remapped keys.
