How to use resources from the main container?

[Joker]

Hello,

I just started to play the game and I really reallly like it but my only problem is the resource managemant.
I play survival mode and I have every resource for the ship. I also raised my personal inventory size for the maximum but I think it's still very slow to grab resources for 2 or 3 components then go back to the container and grab another resources for another components and repeat it..

Is there a way to use resources drectly from the bigger containers or something like that?

Thank you!

Until you can build a small ship to use as a "constructor" (with 1 or many welders on it, and as much storage for components as you want) then yes, you have to do it the way you are now :(

More or less this. You need a welding ship in order to make large ships in a timely manor.

Line 3 welders, pipe them to a cargo of your choice, and slap a cockpit on it. I like to use 5 welders around a cockpit (3 right below 1 on either side) myself as that makes even heavy armor blocks take no time at all. And can be rather small to fit in a 1*2 block opening of a large ship.

I also take the effort to combine welders and grinders into the same ship. What you do for one, mirror it on the ass end for the other. Going to take more space and build time but helps with not needing to fuel 2 ships and auto transfers the mats from salvaged ships to your welders without you doing a damned thing but change seats. Only needing you to dock for the mats you make yourself or for transporting.
