They combined R with Mouse Scroll for blocks which have variants (+).

You select the Size of blocks like that by R = 2,5m, then Scrolling by mouse wheel to select Which of them you want.

Instead of 5 times R (0,5 A, 0,5 B, ..., 2,5m B) you use = One time R + one time scroll = 2,5m B

Same time, only one time Scroll back for 2,5 m A, instead of R R R R R R R R R R

@kotia actually pressing R once and using scroll wheel doesn't work most times, but pressing the hot bar number where you have the block will give you a different size/shape but not consistent for ether methods and some still missing from G menu

having shape/size selected in more than one Methode is ridicules and confusing, also the tutorial explanations on size/shape selection needs to be changed to reflect any changes to block placement controls.

The new block selection is very confusing. I have trouble finding all block variants. If different sizes are available, R should only switch size 2.5m -> 0.5m -> 0.25m (why not include detailing cubes?) and the Mouse Wheel should only select the different shapes.

If only one size is available, both R and Mouse Wheel would select the different shapes.


Also, some blocks only available as single blocks could be grouped together to tidy up the Toolbar. E.g. the small decoration blocks Laptop, Fire Extinguisher, Tube Rack, etc. would be in one group.

Also, all the Thrusters could be in one group. The Mouse Wheel would select between Atmospheric, Hydrogen and Ion. R would select the different sizes. This would save a lot of space on the Toolbar.

If we can use matrix grouping then lets combine the small conveyor, large conveyor, conveyor slices/adapter/connector, and cargo/tanks. I dont mind having to cycle through a couple more options instead of going through build menu as often.

Then put all the construction blocks into a group including the H2/O2 generator and survival kit

Then lastly, combine power grid items. storage and generators.
