Share what tricks you have found to make your life easier.
My two cents:
1. A non-standard use for Industrial Lights blueprint: it's visibly directional so you can place it in caves as direction markers - and they make fantastic ones too, much better than pathfinder tool if space constraints allow. And it's first component is glass, which you're unlikely to have when exploring, so no resources spent. I've used this trick to great effect when exploring Mountain Island's caves.
2. Less useful one: game actually allows transmutation of quartz to titanium at 2:1 rate. No idea when it would be useful, but it's possible. Just find a strange doll: it's construction cost is 1 glass and 1 titanium, and it can be scanned afterwards for 2 titanium gain.

Not sure, but it might be possible to tri-chord as well (turn slightly and also press A or D) for even faster speed (like in Descent).
I haven't used this trick, but DIsinfected water, besides having a greater volume of H2O, can also be "stored" at half inventory cost if you store it as Bleach. So a locker full of Bleach will produce 2 lockers full of Disinfected Water.
Uhh are you sure I hatched a crab squid and as soon as I released it almost killed me.
Another trick I picked from world record speedrun video: assign mouse upwards wheel scroll to "Use". Then you can insta-crack resource deposits by scrolling your mouse wheel (of course, you also need to deassign mouse scroll from "next item" option or there will be issues). Tried this trick once and never even thought to go back to old way.
yes, I'm sure, I have done this multiple times and they don't attack me. they do still attack your vehicles though. If it was attacking you outside your vehicle then it is a glitch.
