In order to build something, you have to place it and then construct it. Large grid versions of blocks require significantly more resources to construct. Even when they’re called things like Small Cargo Container, there is a small grid Small Cargo Container and a large grid Small Cargo Container. What is confusing about this is that some blocks come in both small grid and large grid sizes.

The large grid size is intended for stations or larger ships like capital ships. The small grid size is intended for small vehicles like fighters, rovers, or escape pods. There are two “grid” sizes: small and large.

The parts that are used to build a block are called “components”.

In this way, a sub-grid of a static grid can be mobile (even if in a limited capacity).

Grids can consist of sub-grids where they attach to other things via a connection (such as a piston, rotor, or connector).

A mobile grid is one that doesn’t anchor, often because it is a vehicle of some sort.

A static grid is one that is permanently anchored to the ground (whether a planet or asteroid), these are typically referred to as “stations”.

Everything you build is a “block” that attaches into a “grid”.
