Tips to building capital vessel / small vessel / hover vessel / base:

Inventory management timesavers:
 * When you're placing a Starter for your vehicle (SV/HV/CV) it will be aligned to your crosshair's direction.
 * Note that (SV), (HV) and (CV) have a “flight direction” and some blocks (e.g. cockpit, weapons) are automatically aligned according to the flight direction! This direction can not be changed without dstroying entire vehicle.
 * Right-click on stack of items in inventory will leave half of the stack instead of taking all of it.
 * Shift+right-click will transfer only 1 piece of the stack to block's inventory.
 * If you use SHIFT+left-mouseclick on any item (or stack of items) in your inventory, it will instantly be transfered to your toolbar (panel on the left; 1-9) without having to drag&drop it.
 * If you open the inventory of a machine or container, there are two several possibilities to use SHIFT+left-mouseclick:
 * SHIFT+left-mouseclick on a stack or item in the machine or container inventory will move it to your inventory.
 * SHIFT+left-mouseclick on a stack or item in your inventory will move them to the machine/container inventory.
 * If you open the inventory of a Fuel Tank/Small Fuel Tank/Large Fuel Tank, SHIFT+left-mouseclick on a stack of fuel packs in your inventory will fill the inventory of the fuel tank to its maximum (given you have enough fuel packs). Same applies to Oxygen Tank/Small Oxygen Tank/Large Oxygen Tank or similar machines/tanks, where each inventory item-slot only holds 1 item and no stacks.
 * For crafting many of the same item use SHIFT+left-mouseclick when clicking on Templates to create stacks of 10 at a time in the Construction Queue.
 * For crafting even more, hold CTRL+left-mouseclick when clicking on Templates to create stacks of 100 at a time in the Construction Queue.

For crafting even EVEN more, hold SHIFT+CTRL+left-mouseclick when clicking on Templates to create stacks of 999 at a time in the Construction Queue.
