If at any point you want to change a keybind for a control, you can do so in the Settings menu, symbolized by the TV icon in the Menu. First, click on View/Modify Configuration on the platform you are playing. Then, you can change the key of a control to a different key by pressing on the particular control and immediately pressing the key you want to use when prompted.

If at any time the controls get messed up or you don't like the way you changed them, you can press the Restore Defaults button on the bottom right, and it will go back to what it was originally.

With these controls, you can really start getting into the action and farm to your heart's content! Change up the controls at any time for a more comfortable experience.
