Doesn't work properly on Firefox

This game has way too many UI elements at the very start of the game, with practically no explanation. While there is a help section, it provides very little useful information for people who have just started the game. My suggestion would be to hide the useless things ($260 million to build? I only have $1), and maybe a tutorial or a "Getting Started" guide.

Game seems to be broken, both on this site and the original (on chrome), it appears like the game tiles straight up doesn't register my mouse for some reason, making it impossible to move around outside of zooming in and out making it pretty much unplayable.

hi, it's me again <3 (i keep coming back to see if issue is fixed because i really want to play the game)
discovered that in chrome when i'm in f12 (with the device toolbar on, when the toolbar is off it doesn't work) i'm able to click the menu on the right and also place buildings (still can't move the map however), but when i exit f12 the issues come back. (just tried and in firefox it's the same)
in firefox the console says "unreachable code after return statement" and in chrome it says "Audit usage of navigator.userAgent, navigator.appVersion, and navigator.platform"
hope any of this was useful :p !

My only extension is an ad blocker, which I've tried disabling to no avail as well. I'm now debugging through the F12 console to see what sorts of things may be going wrong here, and I think I see the issue!

I notice when the event listener for selecting an item in the inventory happens, my mouse position is always 0,0. This causes the index it tries to select to be -11 every time, since it determines the X item to be at position -7 and Y item to be at position -1. Going through, I'm seeing that everywhere we try to use the mouse position, the coordinates always show as 0,0 - thus, scrolling with right mouse button never works. I'm not exactly sure where mousePos should be getting set, it seems to be used as some kind of global.

For an example, when checking if a meteor is clicked, the event listener receives a parameter "e", this DOES hold the mouse position properly! But, I see e.x and e.y are compared to selPos.x and selPos.y - these are trying to get the mouse position from EventListeners, but EventListeners sets mousePos to 0,0 and never seems to update it. Even if this worked, it means that to determine if a meteor was clicked, it's comparing mouse position to mouse position, it will always say it was clicked successfully. It looks like the findIndex() function should be using a callback function but for some reason the "e" inside the callback is instead using the event, and not the meteor as you'd expect. Maybe just not re-using the variable name "e" would fix this? I'm not exactly sure!

Unless I'm missing something, the event for mouseup always sets the last placed position to -1, -1, but I haven't looked deeply into if this is an issue or not.

After some digging, it seems like the event "desktopmousemove" is not triggering - tempSettings.useMobile is always true, for me. I'm struggling to figure out where tempSettings is getting set but I feel pretty confident that this is the issue, it should be useMobile = false on desktop, of course. :)

Further information! I see that Firefox has a maxTouchPoints = 1 in the navigator, and whether or not it is considered mobile is if maxTouchPoints > 0. Perhaps this needs to be > 1? Or maybe touch points isn't an accurate way to determine if it's mobile or not, I'm uncertain... I tested on Chrome instead, Chrome indeed has maxTouchPoints = 0 and then scrolling, clicking things, etc. all work fine! Clicking meteors still doesn't work due to the callback function issue I mentioned earlier, however.

@DawnOfWolfy: have you tried right clicking to drag? it says that in the help menu

Most of the game doesn't work, and as far as I can tell the entire comment section has this problem.

game still doesn't work for me (i'm in version 0.3.4b and tried both on chrome and firefox). I'm able to click on the rock and buy buildings but can't place them or access the menu on the right by clicking (it works if i use the hotkeys however).

(can't edit my comment, will delete this one after) refreshing didn't work, my chrome version is Version 115.0.5790.171 and firefox is Version 116.0.2. creating a new file and skipping the tutorial yields the same result btw.

This looks SO promising, I hope the control issues will be fixed soon! I have the latest update of Firefox and have tried refreshing and hard refreshing to no avail, I'm unable to use right mouse button to pan the map, and cannot place buildings or click the right side menu options (an SFX plays but nothing happens without using the keyboard bindings)

that thumbnail gives me facorio vibes
