To edit the configurations outside of Vessel, edit '''VesselConfig.ini'''. For Windows this is in ''"%APPDATA%\Vessel\VesselConfig.ini"'', for Mac this is in ''"~/Library/Application Support/Vessel/"'' and for Linux this is in ''"~/.local/share/Vessel/VesselConfig.ini"''.

A noteworthy setting in this file is ''SuperSample'', an anti-aliasing setting not present in the options menu. This can be ''1X'', ''2X'', ''4X'', ''8X'' and ''16X''. The higher the value, the higher the video memory requirement.

== Game Saves ==

===OS X Resolution Settings===
 +
Due to a flaw in SDL video modes, Vessel for OS X requires that the settings be changed outside of Vessel. Edit <code>~/Library/Application Support/Vessel/VesselConfig.ini</code> for this.
  
−
It is expected that the game saves for Vessel are cross-platform. For Windows they should be located in ''"%APPDATA%\Vessel\"'', for Mac they should be in ''"~/Library/Application Support/Vessel/"'' and for Linux they should be in ''"~/.local/share/Vessel/"''. Just poke your saves into those directories and you should be all set!

'''The Problem:''' I can't set my gamepad bindings in-game!
+
==Issues unresolved==
 +
===Vessels appear empty===
 +
This bug only appears in the OS X and Linux versions of the game. The vessels are being filled, but the fluid isn't being displayed.
  
−
'''The Solution:''' Edit '''VesselGamepad.ini''' with your text editor of choice to configure your gamepad. The directions are located in the file. For Mac this will be in ''"Vessel.app/Contents/MacOS/VesselGamepad.ini"'', and for Linux this will be in ''"/path/to/Vessel/VesselGamepad.ini"''.
+
===Multi-monitor issues===
 +
The game works without problems in multi-monitor setups, however overviews, for example which reactors have been fixed in factory, will appear severely taller than the screen height.
  
−
'''Why?''' The original Win32 version of the game uses XInput and stores configurations for various controllers into the engine itself. For the SDL port, I designed this SDL joystick config system to quickly enable controller support while supporting as many controllers as possible.

I'm not sure if Button_LeftTrigger and Button_RightTrigger are correct as these are axes on the Xbox 360 controller.

OS X Resolution Settings

Due to a flaw in SDL video modes, Vessel for OS X requires that the settings be changed outside of Vessel. Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Vessel/VesselConfig.ini for this.

Controller remapping

If you've got a compiler handy, you can use this C file to determine your controller's config values. Note: Requires SDL headers/libs!

The bindings that follow are named after the buttons found on the Xbox 360 controller. Simply bind the values described above to the equivalent 360 controller value.

Configurations

The full list of known configurations for various controllers (contributed by the community) can be found in the Files section.

Issues unresolved

Vessels appear empty

This bug only appears in the OS X and Linux versions of the game. The vessels are being filled, but the fluid isn't being displayed.

Multi-monitor issues

The game works without problems in multi-monitor setups, however overviews, for example which reactors have been fixed in factory, will appear severely taller than the screen height.
