Just so I can build spaceships.

It’s just sooooo addictive and fun. But as long as there is no Sandbox mode, or a mode to save spaceship designs, I just can’t do it without using piles of money.

It’s not that I’m short of money (had like 700k when I started building like crazy), but wasting all that money just for a few ships I like, fly once or twice for fun, and then completely scrap and rebuild into new ones is just not feasible.

So, while I’m sad that I disabled achievements (and am too lazy to use ScriptExtender + AchievementUnlocker), I can now properly play “Space Lego”.

That’s all and thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      Yeah, you can ‘select all’ with LB I think, then the colour changes apply to your whole ship.

        Double click any part within ship builder, which will highlight the entire ship in red. Then I believe the default key (J) will show up in the bottom as “Color (J)” if memory serves. I think if you move the mouse after clicking the option won’t appear.

      Also, is there an easy way to make everything the same colour?

      double click with with [LMB] to select everything that’s connected to the module you’re clicking on; or CTRL-LMB to group a selection of modules; then press [J] to bring up the color menu.

      Honestly the controller UI for shipbuilding is better than the mouse one; I tried shipbuilding with a mouse because I wasn’t super happy with the controller UI, but I found placing modules way harder with the mouse because you don’t have manual control of which level it goes on, the game tries to guess where you want it based on your mouse position and it’s not always right.
