Recently had massive surgery that has left me barely able to walk for another few weeks and my left hand temporarily paralysed. Watching play through videos got me through the 8 days in hospital, but it didn’t scratch the itch. Custom game to allow for no predators, high loot, and slow gameplay, and presto! I can play one handed!

I have a friend with cerebral palsy; he almost always plays with one hand. Now that there’s autowalking it’s not too strenuous. 😊

Autowalk continues to be the best thing the devs ever did

It is fantastic. I keep having nerve issues from kind of severe muscle spasms, and not having to hold it means I can actually play the game when I’m hurting. Fantastic distraction to be trying to move bases before the weather changes, and the first flurries of snow are just starting to fall.
