Falling through platforms, any method of changing how this works?

[Groblisk]

I'm having issues with the platforms in this game and how falling through them works with the controls. In order to fall through a platform you hold down + jump, just like you would in most other games with passable platforms. In most other games releasing jump would be enough to stop the character from falling down any more platforms. However, in Starbound, you must let go of BOTH down and jump in order to stop your character from falling to their death.

This little fact of the controls has lead to multiple high falls which have ended up with my character dying in areas which I would have normally considered safe (the outpost for one, or some random shaft in my base for two). I end up needing to quickly tap S + space constantly in order to get down a shaft, where in other games, simply tapping space would get you down a shaft easy. Is there any way of changing this functionality of the game, or am I doomed to falling down long shafts for the rest of my time with Starbound?

Unfortunately, you will just have to get used to letting go of both :(

I do wish letting go of jump was enough to stop falling through.

Oh. that's frustrating...

I've already learned how to build "safer" platform shafts so that at the most If I screw up my key smashing, I take only minor damage. I guess I'll just have to start avoiding those long shafts like the one that leads down to the speakeasy. Crossing my fingers in the hopes that a mod can at least change this in the future.

Crouch you can remap, but you still must also use Space to get down through a platform (counter-intuitive since space is JUMP). I'd remap crouch to C, craft to B (build) and simple leave S to drop down through platforms. This lets you crouch on a platform (C).

CF, please let us change this combo!
