Flawless Stability and Performance
Zero issues at 25 hours and counting.

You need to use the keyboard short cut to manually open the on screen keyboard, but damn does it ever run fantastic on the steam deck!
If steam can some how trigger the on screen keyboard to open without manually trigger it the game would be even more perfect.

Works fantastic on both Desktop and Steam deck with basic steam settings
Anyone that likes this type of game on windows would also love the experience on linux.

Works perfectly out of the box
The game starts at windowed mode. You can change it in the game settings.

The keyboard has to be forced open via shortcuts or the menu for any typing, but other than that the game is perfectly ran.
Running the game without changing any of the launch options worked perfectly out of the box, even with maxed-out visual settings, until I tried to use a tool, at which point the game stopped responding to input from my controller. Trying to use the tool again with the keyboard instead caused the game to freeze, and it did not recover. I had to restart Steam entirely.
I reopened the game with Proton 8.0-2 forced in the compatibility settings, and the problem hasn't happened any more. Forcing Proton Experimental works as well.

Game loads absolutely fine. Had some issues getting a controller to detect but once it did it was fine
Text boxes require a keyboard to enter as the popup keyboard does not load on the steam deck.

Some of the UI elements are a little on the small side.
When I first started the game I had to adjust the resolution to match the Deck's screen. I had to manually invoke the onscreen keyboard for name entry, but it worked. I ran around the farm for a while and it ran smoothly with no crashes. Putting the system to sleep and waking it with the power worked too. So far I'm happy with the performance on Deck in handheld mode.

Default Proton options do not work. Changing to Proton 8.0-2 makes the game launch and work as expected (or GE Proton 8)
Game runs at 60 FPS maxed out on the Steam deck. Can't complain about performance at all. Battery performance TBD, the game literally launched 10 minutes ago.
