I saw a post on r/starfieldmods and it makes traversal 2-3x faster and more engaging, and best of all it doesn't require a mod - it's just not active in the options. Here is the original post on reddit.

Essentially, all you have to do is set a button as the alternate jump button (keeping the main jump key set). In the post, they use L-Alt, I use triangle/Y on controller. Now, when jumping, jump like you normally would, then hit your new key to boost forward (L-Alt on keyboard, L3+Triangle/Y on controller).

I recommend the Skip Boost jetpack (in general, but also for this tip). This tip makes exploration more engaging and combat more fun. I don't know why it is inactive by default!

Oh that explains why it worked in zero g, I could boost forward I guess since I was always "jumping"

Guess I'll have to do it with a mouse and keyboard, because there is no "alt" controls in the binding while it's on a controller interface.

Edit: It doesn't even do anything special when I use the keyboard. Literally still just goes straight up.

Oh, I forgot to mention! This is from the Reddit post:

steam://controllerconfig/1716740/3033314324

Paste this into your browser URL bar and it will take you to steam, just hit "Apply Layout" down the bottom right and you'll be able to forward boost with L3 + Y (or Triangle on PS controllers).
