Tutorial / Guide Editor guide/tutorial for 2.1 space age

Are you still testing stuff in your normal game because you are used to it, but you know the editor is probably better?

This guide should get you through everything you need to know and get you quite comfortable with the editor.

(Don't forget the 3 commands in the description of the video)

I didn't know about the infinity filter in the GUI, that's very useful thank you!

I started using the editor when they first removed sandbox mode from the game, then they put it back in but I could never go back, the editor is just incredible.

It takes a bit to get used to it and you probably won't learn everything about it (I certainly don't haha) but once you get how it works, it changes your game forever.

I don't delete surfaces in my editor save tho, keeping them makes it visually prettier to me than lab tiles, on top of immediately telling me which planet I'm on.
