Not everyone can or is comfortable playing a game with keyboard and mouse controls. World's Dawn enables players to use a controller and rebind the buttons but the options menu is very confusing. I have experimented using a Nintendo Pro-controler and here are my findings. (Unfortunately I tried doing the same experiment with my Xbox 360 controller, as that is the most popular option, but I was unable to get the game to recognize that I had a controller plugged in, although it did work with other games. I'm pretty sure that the following information will still work but I unable to verify it.)

The main problem with understanding the options menu is that nothing is labeled in a way that is clearly identifiable. At first glance you can't tell which column is meant to represent the physical button and which is meant to represent the controls and the way things are labeled it's very easy to assume that the letters correspond to the physical buttons. Then, to add to the confusion the controls are listed using a 6 button controller scheme instead of the traditional console controler scheme. A person looking at the menu might be asking themselves which buttons on the controller corrispond to C and Z.

Through trial and error I was able to determine that the column listing Button 1, Button 2 etc is in fact representing the physical buttons and the drop down menus with the letters is representing the controls. But which button is Button 1? And what control is A? Here is a list:

Button 1 is the south button (B on the pro-controller / A on the Xbox controller)
2 is east
3 is west
4 is north
5 is L (LB)
6 is R (RB)
7 is ZL (LT)
8 is ZR (RT)
9 is - (Back)
10 is + (Start)

Menu option A is the Dash control
B is Cancel/Open bag
C is Interact/Confirm
X is not programmed
Y is Call Horse
Z is Call Dog
L is Tool #1
R is Tool #2

Using the list provided you can of course make any control scheme that works best for you. Since my main console is the Nintendo Switch it makes the most sense to me to use a traditional Nintendo map where the east button is confirm and the south button is cancel. So I've outlined below the scheme I have come up with but if you are more used to a Traditional Xbox, Playstation map you can easily switch it around.

Button 1 - B (Cancel)
Button 2 - C (Confirm)
Button 3 - B (This is redundant but I didn't want to leave it unprogrammed.)
Button 4 - A (Dash)
Button 5 - Y (Call Horse)
Button 6 - Z (Call Dog)
Button 7 - L (Tool 1)
Button 8 - R (Tool 2)
Button 9 - (- not programmed)
Button 10 - (- not programmed)
