We would have loved to, but the effort required was beyond the means of the team developing the game. You can try playing it on Steam Remote Play (game is free on that platform as well)

Thing is I couldn't reproduce the issue in build, and by the sound of it it's not a controller support problem (since it works in the menu)
Any chance you might have tried to play the game in BOT PARTY mode only? (Which is basically event demo mode with CPU players only)
Did you encounter the screen where you can select characters? (that's when you controllers are supposed to be joined as players if the game detects any input from them)
I now managed to get up to almost 7000. What I missed was that a planet can be oversupplied (in addition to their basic needs) to increase it's production, income and happiness. This gives you much more stuff the work with. This was in the guide actually, I just didn't get it first because there is no visual feedback that prompts you to give them extra resources (unlike the goods icon the appear next to satisfied hive worlds for example)
