			The Inventory is opened by pressing the '''I''' key. The layout of the inventory can vary a bit, depending on your "loadout". The left section contains your character, and the items you have equipped. More on the various slots later.

			Next to the character screen is your equipped backpack, if any. (If you have no backpack equipped, this area will be empty.) Depending on the type of backpack you use, this screen can have some different layouts:

			#'''Large backpack:''' If you have a large backpack equipped, the screen will contain the slots of this backpack. The large backpack has one slot for a large item at the top; this item will be displayed on your character, too. Below that is a slot for a medium item, like most guns. Then, even lower, are slots for small items. This is where most of your stuff will go, since most things at the moment are considered "small" items. The large slot is essentially 2 medium slots above eachother, and the medium slot is 2 small slots side-by-side.
			#'''Mining backpack:''' The mining backpack only has two slots on it's own; a medium slot, meant to hold a pickaxe, and a small slot, normally used for another (smaller) tool, like the bolt tool. The mining backpack is normally not used without Cargo Crates; more on those later. If you're connected to the cargo crates through a device hardpoint, you'll be able to access the inventory of all connected crates from your mining backpack! The most important feature for mining that the mining backpack has is the "collect automatically" checkbox; if you're connected to one or more cargo crates, it allows you to automatically suck ore into the crates.

Senkii: Added first section; basic movement. More will be done later, it's 4:30 AM by now, so I'm heading off.

Senkii: Created page, necessary for internal linking. Currently a heavy WIP, please leave this one to me, unless it is against the rules. If you'd like to see anything changed on this page, I would like it if you could at least inform me about it. Thanks :3

Welcome to this guide; this is essentially a beginners' guide to Starbase, although it might have some points of interest for more advanced players as well.

I originally made this guide to make the early game progression easy for new players, because I got a lot of questions about a lot of things in the game, both from fellow alpha players and non-alpha players. The scope of it was later expanded to incorporate more advanced information, too, mainly just because I felt like it...

The guide is split into multiple sections, filled with information about each and every aspect of the game. The start of the guide also contains a good indication of what you can do in your first hours in the game, to get the best start possible!

Whether you're a new player or a veteran; I hope this guide is able to give you a hand in your Starbase gameplay!
