Use the Pinned Tablet for Quick Access While Working

Activating the Pinned Widget

The pinned tablet stays visible on your screen during normal gameplay, letting you toggle machines without opening menus:

1. Configure your most-used signals in the Signals app

2. Press B to display the pinned tablet overlay

3. Click any button or slider directly from the widget

4. Press B again to hide it

Customizing Your Pinned Layout

Arrange your most critical controls at the top of your Signals app—these appear first in the pinned view. Use distinct colors and icons so you can identify buttons quickly while focused on building or mining.

Combining with Wall Screens

You can use both simultaneously: keep a wall-mounted tablet in your factory for detailed control, and use the pinned overlay while exploring your base. Both interact with the same frequencies, so changes on one update everywhere.

Performance Tip

The pinned widget is lightweight and won't slow your game. Leave it active while working on projects that need frequent machine adjustments.
