    I took a fairly long break from this game and just started playing again. I was working on my factory setup when I tried to delete an input enhancer (in astronaut mode) and learned that I couldn't. So, I'm fairly certain that I'm screwing something up or have an option set that I don't know about because having to constantly enter and leave a station to set up a factory would just be maddening.

    So I'm just asking for someone who does understand/know what happened to explain it to me please.

    Astronauts can no longer insta-break blocks. get right up to the block and hold down the button. you should see abeam and purple grid texture

    You can break stuff on a station with it :u it just bugs up sometimes, It is after, just a modified Salvage laser, which are coded to not work on Faction'd stations and functional ships o -o

    Thank you therimmer96, that part I was missing was that the block-place and block-break buttons are now the same in astronaut mode.

    A strange thing is that you still left click on a ship core to remove it.

    Well, that's odd. I don't have that. I just right click cores anyway, and it works.
    Right click is now a mine key, and left click is still a build key, for me. Perhaps your update process was botched?

    Ditto. Took me ages to get used to, but now it feels natural. Saying that, if I were to think about it I couldn't tell you what one is mine and what one is build . . .
