Absolutely, the fuses on my towers all went out within a week and as a first-time player I was able to at least understand the problem, but had no money to fix it, and very easily found myself basically without any money to fix the problem, and no signals to process meant the game became a very different and slow game, even after learning you could possibly repair them (which requires you to HEAVILY explore to find out), it felt like a soft lock where even if I had new fuses I'd be out doing this again in short order, on top of needing to learn map knowledge already.

Serious suggestion: Just make it so if some radars are down, there's a chance that one of the coordinate towers stop working when you attempt to triangulate, this way you keep the mechanic of needing to go out there, but the fuse mechanic for the coordinate towers feels ravenously aggressive, and I'm gonna have to turn it off at this point to enjoy the game.

Edit1: Or make it so the amount of fuses in a tower lowers the chance it goes down (during maybe a thunderstorm or something?), but avoid making it so the fuses are consumed so quickly or at all, at the bare minimum. I think the lights out game is fine and a good idea to still make the player have to wader out there occasionally.

Game looks great, graphics look good! Some geometry gets a little thin when inspected closely and causes pixel flickering, the game itself feels a bit strange as the monster kindof just magnetizes to you even if you have your light off, not much ability to escape as far as I could tell. The turning of the ship also was disorienting because the tilt was very aggressive, and bouncing off the station was annoying.

Yes, as long as you're using it with SteamVR

Is there a way to change the text/label color on the map, as I want to make the paper green to represent grass, but then the outlines of the text become green, which clashes with the default black color of text, which that can't be changed without changing all outlines on the map, and that goes a bit overboard in terms of correcting the colors.
I realize that you can simply hide the text and add it in later with image editing software, but I thought I would put forward the idea, in case it's an easy change for you, that would make a nice quality of life feature. 

Tried to, steam never approved it, they don't like emulators they have to manually set up, so they just put me in limbo of "we're still testing" for years.

I believe there already is a "recenter handheld" button that does what you're asking for in the UI on desktop.

You'd have to attach it to a computer to make it run via SteamVR, that's the only thing this supports.

Right now, any time it's active (ie: you do the motion, and it turns on, then you do the motion to dismiss it, and it pauses the game like normal), it blocks inputs if enabled, I forget it I made a setting to have it only take inputs when you grab it. The inputs I'm not sure, I've not heard anybody have any problems with the bound inputs. I would say try to clear your bindings/change the bindings to see if's the buttons you're pressing or the buttons you're emulating are the problem. As far as a software that creates gamepad controllers and funnels them into the PC from VR, I'm not an expert enough at hardware hacks to try and simulate inputs to windows to make it do such a thing, otherwise you could just use a desktop viewer and then enable the gamepad inputs to emulate all games via official desktop emulators

You're free to run any single core you can find, whether or not it works is up in the air, I wasn't able to get any 3D emulation working because that requires some kind of hardware communication, and all the people who had gotten that to work on their ends were not able to effectively communicate it so that I could reproduce it here.

I don't know, I've never tried I suppose

Does the button "re-center handheld" bring you near the tutorial? I'm curious also HOW far away you are, since I thought I had code that should prevent people from being where they might end up via errors of some kind... but yeah. Let me know. Also possibly if you can, search the logs at Appdata/LocalLow/BarShiftGames/PortableEmulator/Player<-prev>.log and see if in those files contain the words "Exception" "error" or "crash", to bring up any sections of code that look like error logs? 

For instance this is an example error: 

NullReferenceException
at (wrapper managed-to-native) UnityEngine.GameObject.SetActive(UnityEngine.GameObject,bool)
at BlockingInputManager.unblockInput () [0x00014] in <a9a5c357337344c1902c522035ed88a6>:0 
at BlockingInputManager.OnDestroy () [0x00000] in <a9a5c357337344c1902c522035ed88a6>:0 
(Filename: <a9a5c357337344c1902c522035ed88a6> Line: 0)

Curl error 42: Callback aborted

Unfortunately not, if you want that, you'll want to use retroarch directly (it supports controller inputs I think) and then use OVR drop and hold your Xbox controller while in VR. I think that'll do it?
