Controller support disabled by default?
Anyone know how I can re-enable Terraria's built in controller support? I'm able to play regular Terraria with a steam controller quite fine, not sure why tmodloader disables it by default. When I load up tmodloader, the menu does not recognize my controller inputs, when I load into the game the same issue occurs.

Welcome to #support-forum. Before someone helps you, please first consult the information in #TML Troubleshooting Guide and try all the suggestions that might fit your particular issue, especially in the linked FAQ page.
If the information in the pinned thread does not solve your issue, please post all log files by dragging and dropping them into this chat. In Steam right click on
tModLoader in the library, then hover over Manage and click on Browse local files. In the folder that appears find tModLoader-Logs and open that folder. Inside that folder are the logs files. Select them all except the Old folder and drag them into this chat. If you need a visual guide to this process watch this: https://github.com/tModLoader/tModLoader/assets/4522492/3f4efa43-753f-4733-b630-ba85e711340cmultiple-amethystOP•3mo ago
For more information, I'm using a steam controller, with the controller mapped as a regular gamepad controller.

Did you try big picture mode

I did, it didn't seem to work. The only way I can get it to work is if I use a keyboard-centric community layout for the steam controller, but that breaks a lot of things and leads to a very clunky set of controls.
Unlikely the cause, but you could check your config.json to see if
"SettingBlockGamepadsEntirely" is set to true (if it is, change it to false).
In the saves directoryTag: paths (Owner: jopojelly#0000)
Here are some useful default paths:
Windows Saves:
%UserProfile%\Documents\My Games\Terraria\tModLoader (This is typically found in C:\Documents\)
Linux Saves: ~/.local/share/Terraria/tModLoader/ or $XDG_DATA_HOME/Terraria/tModLoader/
Mac Saves: ~/Library/Application support/Terraria/tModLoader/
Windows Install: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\tModLoader
Linux Install: ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader or ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader
Mac Install: Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/tModLoader/tModLoader.app/Contents/MacOS
Mod Path: Your manually installed mods are stored in a subfolder of the Saves folder called /Mods. Workshop mods are stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1281930, but you shouldn't touch the folder and instead unsubscribe in steam.
Logs Path: The Logs are found in a subfolder of the Install folder called /tModLoader-Logs.multiple-amethystOP•3mo ago
Thank you, I've just now checked it, it was set to false so no dice on that front.
