An article containing tips and tricks which may help you while playing Waste of Space.

Tips & Tricks

Be careful when using the hammer tool on vehicles

Be careful when using the "drag tool", as most ships have a singular, big hull holding everything, and dragging it might unweld and shatter the whole ship. This can circumvented by assembling multiple, smaller hulls reducing or neglecting possible damage. BUT using different lock group that dont allow you to move the hull is way better idea.

Backup space stations

Having a space station with your cloning bay, a backup ship and materials and in the middle of nowhere near a star is a great way to not get yourself stuck on starter planets again.

Custom boilers

STABLE custom boiler

You can use a heat source such as a fire and a reactor to create steam.
You can use |zapwire and a faucet connected to water pouring directly onto the powered zapwire to create steam.

UNSTABLE custom boilers

In unstable you can use a boiler and heat source for steam.

Or you can try make a boiler by your own.

Teaming

It is highly recommended to team up with other people because other people might have skills and knowledge that you don't have. Starter planets are the easiest places to find players to recruit since they are usually filled with players. It's always great to have another pair of eyes watching over the base while you are away! Note that this could increase resource consumption and larger factories might be needed to support building projects that group members might start. But be careful! Some people might leech off your base's resources and power, and they might sabotage your base, so be careful of who you are recruiting.

Use mining lasers

Replacing extractors for mining lasers might not be a bad idea. That's if your base can support it, and if you have the materials. This is because mining lasers don't need to be 50 studs away from each other, unlike extractors. They can increase the amount of resources generated which might help resource shortage problems. However, they will also increase the power required to run the factory.
Mining lasers also do not suffer the same part shift issue that extractors have. This is because part shift may cause extractors to stop working entirely due to the extractors not touching the ore that they're mining.

Clicking on your Starmap

Clicking on a planet on your star map allows you to automatically configure the coordinates of a telescope or hyperdrive to said planet, which is much easier and faster than typing it manually.

Umanned Warping/Warping without a player

If you find yourself in a situation such as having your ship warp without you, do not worry. Go back to your base using a cloning bay. Then get a teleporter and configure it with the coordinate your ship just warped to. There is a good chance that once you teleport, you will hear a hyperdrive sound and you will spawn inside your ship.
