I like to play games from my couch with a controller.

how good is the compatibility with an xbox controller?

i have used an xbox controller with this game since day one, as have a good friend of mine. if you want to use a contoller with absolutely no mouse or keyboard, it works just fine. i will say, certain things i find easier with a mouse (like navigating inventory, moving around different menus, selecting build pieces) but play-wise, it works perfectly fine. my friend does not use a mouse or keyboard at all, and uses solely a controller for everything i mentioned above. so yes, it is entirely possible to use a controller, and the controller is fully supported. when you first start playing the game, certain things may feel a bit clunky (as they did for me so i used a mouse like mentioned above) but if you are determined to use only a controller you will be fine in a few play sessions. just takes getting used to like any game.
