How to add items on ship toolbar?

[❆🎄Douglas 🎁 🎂]

When I build a ship from the workshop usually the weapons are on the toolbar, the bar with 1, 2, 3, ... numbers. How can I add items on that toolbar of the ship?

Install weapons ( not turrets) to your ship

Rockets, rail guns, plasma, minigun, etc

You can fire up to 21 of the same weapon

If 2 types mounted, 10 of each, etc the max that can fire at one time is 21/( # of weapon types installed )

I don't understand anything, How can I install weapons on my ship?

First, level up a bit until you can unlock everything I mention below in the tech tree (F3).

Then craft one of everything I mention.

Not everything can be made in a survival constructor, it may take a small or large companies structure to do this.

1) craft a weapon, say a rocket launcher.

2) use the R&R tool, (now multitool) and an R&R charge pack to remove a block in front.

3) select the rocket launcher an put it in the hole you made.

Done.

By weapons you mean the ones I can hold in my hand to shot with? They cannot be installed on ship. Even if I use the drone to build it fire the weapon instead of installing it.

And it its turrets, well those are installed already but doesn't appear in the menu. I have to access the cockpit and then access them.

I see what you mean now. So its not possible to have those on Capital Vessel?

There are options for stationary CV guns

You cannot add things to the ships hotbar, it's automatic.

Any manual firing weapon you place on the ship will automatically be added to the hotbar of any cockpit facing the same direction. Ship mounted rocket launcher, rail gun, plasma cannon, pulse laser, etc. (find them on the tech tree for each ship type)

Turrets will not be added to the hotbar, you have to manually open control panel and 'access' the turret individually to use it. Or leave them on to automatically target enemies and fire.
