Worked out of the box on the deck
This isn't quite tinkering, because it works, but the default xbox controls are annoying. You control the cursor with one of the joysticks, and selecting targets for interaction is a pain. After setting controls from automatic to mouse and keyboard, and the right trackpad to behave as mouse, the controller input was still recognized, but I could move the cursor freely. I would only suggest making this change after the tutorial, so a) you can see if the default controls do work for you and b) you learn the controller buttons, like Y for quick move between chest and inventory.
Had to invoke the onscreen keyboard manually to name the world. I don't think it's needed otherwise except to create signs.
I wanted to see how it looks in 640x400, and I could barely put it back, it zoomed in and I only had a part of the resolution selection and a sliver of the confirm button still visible. UI scaling is also pointless, because even at 1.2 menus get cut off at the edge. It does default to perfect 1280x800, so I wasn't very motivated to experiment further.
