Shift

Turbo (off Earth, battery boost): extra power and torque for about nine seconds, then it cools

I

Engine on / off (off Earth: the electric drive from the fuel-cell pack, no air to burn). Off holds the brakes and locks the legs where they are; the diesel takes about a second to start

G

Track: full width · road (stopped, not fully lowered). The body rises once, the middle and front pairs lift and slide in turn, then each rear leg, and the body settles back

F / R / E

Mission action: spray · draft water · load or unload

Q

Self-right: on its side or roof, a curved finger slides up out of its sleeve beside the pod, arcs over the roof and pushes the machine back onto its wheels (again to stop). Standing still, Q runs a test cycle of both arms

X

Crane recovery: lifted upright onto clear ground (the fallback when the arms cannot do it)

P / Esc

Pause

In the driver's seat, drag to look around; double-click to look ahead. A gamepad works too: left stick steers and drives, triggers drive and brake, bumpers raise and lower, face buttons act, change view and open the map.
