How do i raise or lower an item vertically before placing it, with the terrain manipulator please?
I'm also having a problem with palcing of pre-built rooms and walls, i can rotate them and move them on a horizontal plane, but i cannot raise or lower them despite my best efforts to find out how, can someone tell me how please?

Edit: I guess I should amend that you can basically use any individual pieces to build up to a specific height. Then either create a wall to attach a corridor or build a floor and you can start adding pre-builts.

Here is an example where I needed a specific height to create a base using an existing building.

Raise them? Floors must be in contact with the terrain and walls must be in contact with the floor or above another wall. You can't have floating walls.
Unless you do the trick to delete the lower part as stated above.

Yes, just use the ship upgrade tool on the upgrades side of the station. Be aware it is extremely expensive to use, but I do plan to take a C class and do that at some point.

I have 100,000 nanites, and that may not be enough on it's own.

The last upgrade is 50000.
