How to equip things?

[(dinos)]

Hi, how do I equip a drill in my inventory? :(
I play survival mode first time. And another question: How do I gain energy?

[MrBloodworth]

Press "G" Then Drag it into a hot bar.

ty! and how do I get uranium, for energy?

[MrBloodworth]

You need to mine it From an Asteroid. Equip the hand drill, and search for some. The HAnd drill has a short range ore locator in it. Then, refine the ore.

Or right click on it. It's faster way than dragging.

You can also find uranium ore on asteroid's surface visually by looking for black patches.

so two years, how do I equip things now?

G, then choose weapons and tools (last on the right side?) put it into the toolbar - e.g. in position 1
Then g again to get out of that menu and now press 1 ( if it is in position 1)

Get energy: Do uranium in your reactor and if it is off, switch it on (toggle with y)
Or build solar cells and batterys ( if you have e.g. a yellow ship and build your first base)
If you run out of Uranium ingots and have no solar cells and battery then you are dead - no energy - no reffinery
I know then only two options: Old savegame or new start

There isn't a hotbar when you open the inventory.

"G", not "K" or "I"

Uranium very hard to find but you can use solar energy and battery.

build yourself a scout ship with an ore detector on it and got the control panel and crank up the detection radius fly to dark ore patches on the ground/side of mountains etc.. then press K goto your GPS page and then add a marker and rename it to what you find. come back later with a drill ship and your in business. Alternativley you can spawn a drill ship in creative mode shoud have an ore detector on it already (all good ones will|) then relaod the game back in survival ( i do this from time to time I know its like cheating but I dont care :P) then do the above steps but you now have the ability to drill straight away

pressing G brings up the block inventory
pressing I brings up what your character is currently holding
and K s the control menu button which brings up the control menues and inventory menues of what ever grid you are standing on/interacting with this includes the GPS tab, control tab,inventory tab and other tabs that I forget right now.

PS: Uranium is usually barried very deep like 30m deep on average at least from my experience it is usually very deep, so using your default hand drill is probably not the most effecient way to detect it (if you can detect it at all that is ) upgrading to the more advnaced hand drills might provide usefull but I would just make a scout ship with a detector its faster to get around and to tag potential mining areas.
