Tips

## A list of every tip in the Codex entry.

* You can disconnect devices quickly by using the Connect tool. Just click and drag a line between the connected devices.
* You can switch to the Connect tool automatically by clicking and dragging a Connector in Free Select mode.
* You should keep every device accessible from at least one side, otherwise workers will not be able to reach them to perform repairs or maintenance.
* Building devices on top of debris and materials will automatically create hauling tasks. You have to build a Storage Unit for hauling to happen. Construction will not happen until the debris is cleaned out.
* You can quickly adjust task priorities for multiple objects by using the Manage Tasks tool.
* Most type of storage can be configured to automatically haul compatible items. Look for the Auto Haul option in the storage settings.
* Consider pausing time when reviewing or managing event notifications, otherwise new notifications can reorder the list and reset pagination.
* You can use the Connect tool to manage links between connectors and electrical objects by simply dragging a line with your mouse.
* When a worker is selected, hold CTRL and hover the cursor over any location to estimate if the worker can go there. Hold SHIFT and hover pending tasks on the map to see if the worker can perform the task. Then click Mouse1 to give the worker an order to go to the selected location and/or perform the task. Giving a direct order will drop any other activity the worker may be doing. Only managed Workers (robots, drones) can be controlled this way.
* Don't rush to expand your ship; visit nearby planets and mine some raw minerals first.
* Reactors will not burn materials if solar panels can provide enough energy.
* Reactors will not produce more electricity than required to satisfy current energy demand.
* If you want to scale your production, in addition to building new devices, try configuring existing ones to increase the total wanted amount, or changing the production type from Target Inventory to something else.
* You can increase the Auto Refill Amount on most refillable devices, like the Matter Reactor. This will reduce the frequency of refills.
* You can hold CTRL to order a selected worker to perform a certain task.
* You can hold SHIFT to order a selected worker to go to the position of your choice.
* When ordering the placement of floor tiles, try holding various combinations of SHIFT, ALT and CTRL to switch into various placement modes. Some of these modes work with walls, and all of these modes work with the planning tool.
* There are two ways to make a circle in Planning mode. Begin with your mouse near the center of the tile to make a circle with an off diameter, and begin at the lower-left corner of the tile to make a circle with an even diameter.
* Turn off oxygen pumps and close all vents in case of fire. The Stasis Array has a built-in oxygen pump that can be turned off too. If that doesn't help, make a hole in the floor. A hole in the floor vents better than a hole in the wall.
* This game is being developed live on Twitch. See how it's made at twitch.tv/dev\_spajus
* The quickest way to build a new Connector is to click and drag a line from an existing Connector, and release the dragged line above an empty floor tile.
* You can customize the color of floor lights.
* See a problem with the game? Lack of balance? Boring gameplay? Difficult to understand concept? Please use the Report a Bug button in the bottom right of the screen. Your report will automatically include a screenshot and your save file. Having a save file at the moment of the problem makes it much easier to reproduce and fix a problem, therefore this is the preferred way of reporting any issues.
* You can create mods for this game without writing any code. Find out more about modding Stardeus at github.com/kodolinija/stardeus-mod-template
* For more immersive gameplay, try the Fog of War option in Settings > Video > Ambient Light. You will have to build light sources to break through the darkness of space.
* You can use CTRL + numpad digit to remember the current camera position. Then press the numpad digit to jump there quickly.
