Tools are usable items with the ability to interact with the environment in different ways:
 
{{#ask: [[Category:Tools]]

}}
 
 
 
==Components==
 
 
 
All components in Space Engineers are based on either the Large Block or Small Block.  Large Blocks are 2.5 meters square and small blocks are .5 meters square.<ref>http://steamcommunity.com/app/244850/discussions/0/810939351168363653/</ref>  Each components size is one or more blocks.
 
The following blocks and tools are available in the current Alpha build of Space Engineers.

=== Thrusters ===
 
Thrusters for both small and large ships require reactor energy and apply two different kinds of thrust. A thruster applies its maximum thrust while stabilizing and only 2/3 of the maximum thrust when the pilot uses W, A, S, D, or any other means of maneuvering. This means a ship will stabilize faster if the pilot does not activate any maneuvering controls.

=== Landing Gear ===
 
Landing gears allow a ship to latch onto another object. They are particularly useful when docking small ships on larger carrier ships. However, when the larger ship maneuvers (especially in pitch and yaw) there is a common issue where the smaller ship's landing gear will break due to a collision error.
 
: In order to avoid this issue, ensure that the landing gear is not in direct contact with the metal of the carrier ship. Instead, slowly move toward the ship and attach them the instant the indicator turns yellow. This will leave some space in between the two ships, and keep the collision error from occurring.
