Pretty neat, pretty neat.
So this next tip is related to if you have your hotbar set with a bunch of stuff and you realize that you don't want to use the material that's on the thing in the hotbar, there's a quick way to swap that out, too.
So if you open up the customizer and you go to materials or anything like that, if you right click on a material, there's this setting here called apply material to hotbar building.
And if you click this, it will swap out all the materials on the buildable in your hotbar to that material that you just selected.
So if I want all the walls here, for instance, to be steel walls, I can right click and hit apply material and then we'll switch them all out.
If we want to go back to the fix it wall, right click,
Apply all materials to hop bar.
Right.
Pretty neat.
There's an even faster way of doing this.
If you have these material types set to your hop bar, so as you can see, I have them here on eight, nine, and zero.
Whenever you're out in the game, if you press alt and press the number on the hop bar that you have the material on, it will switch just like that.
So now I'm pressing left alt zero.
It will switch everything to steel on my hotbar.
If I press alt and eight, it will swap them all to the default fixing material.
I don't think a lot of people know about this, so there you go.
