A bunch of tips, some obvious, some unlikely… but all useful enough to deserve a place here. Feel free to add your own in the comments.

It makes sense!
-When burying or digging something up, drop your backpack. Being lighter makes you more efficient. Larger shovels dig faster than smaller ones.

-To scroll through the inventory of a chest, you have three options: the mouse wheel, a long right-click, or a left-click on the vertical white bar on the right side of the storage.

-When crafting many items, crouch down to avoid running out of stamina.

-You will get more resources by using the right tool. For example, cutting a long wooden stick with a knife gives 3 small wooden sticks, while a saw or an axe gives 5. Cutting down a tree with an axe gives (4–5) logs, a saw gives (5–6), and a chainsaw gives (6–7), etc.

-Medical gloves and electrician gloves give rubber bands. Even when worn out, they will still give some. Cut them with scissors to get more.

-Energy drinks give a stamina bonus! (+10%)

-To know whether a vehicle is empty or full of items, check its weight:

-WW and Laika → empty weight: (2150 kg)
-WW max weight → (2950 kg)
-Laika max weight → (3150 kg)
-Rager empty weight → (2450 kg)
-Rager max weight → (3650 kg)

It's not so obvious
To increase your demolition skill, it is much more efficient to disarm real mines than to use the practice bomb. Disarm your teammate’s mines, then arm them so they can disarm them in turn. Note that you cannot grind XP with your own mines: you need two people.

-You can buy a card at an ATM. Useful for giving your account info to a teammate or refuelling without going to a trader.

-On the tractor there is a fast speed. Activate it with the mouse wheel.

-If a bear aggros you, run circles around a tree — it will tire quickly. If there is no tree, weave left/right (zig-zag), though that is harder.

-The Alt + C command places the last selected blueprint. Useful for laying out a path of landmarks, for example with campfires.

-While in free fall you have three fall positions. Adjust them with the mouse wheel to either fall faster or travel farther.

-You can shoot from the driver’s seat of a vehicle with a one-handed weapon (for example a pistol or a MAC-10).

-You can mount two M249s or two RPKs on planes.

-To level up medical skill, make a stock of clothes, tear them into rags, and repeatedly heal a (C2) wound. You can remove a bandage by clicking the small triangle to the right of the wound rectangle.

-.38 chambered revolvers accept .357 rounds, and vice versa.

-The M249 accepts M16 magazines. The AKM and AK-47 accept RPK magazines.

-It is faster to repeatedly strike a piece of clothing or a sack with an axe, saber, or bayonet than to use right-click → “cut into rags.” Handy when you want to quickly destroy golds or explosives, for example.
It's secret!
-Uranium and graphite do not sell for the same price depending on the trader. In Sandbox with vanilla settings, the prices are:
Trader B4 → uranium = 929; graphite = 433
Trader C2 → uranium = 927; graphite = 432
Trader Z2 → uranium = 892; graphite = 416
Trader A0 → uranium = 892; graphite = 416
The same applies to most other items.

-You can still level up camouflage and stealth skills while AFK. You need to wedge yourself lying down in auto-run between an open door parallel to a wall and the wall itself. This works either in your base or at the trader.
The space between the wall and the door must be the right width, and you need to find the correct angle.

-When placing grenades on a wall, you can save time by "canceling" the load with Escape. This cancels the loading, but the grenade will still be placed.

-If you hit a bear or wolf before it has noticed you, it will run away.

-An explosive crossbow bolt one-shots a plane if it hits the body of the aircraft.

-You can get inside the tractor cage if there is no loot inside.

-When spawning a magazine using a command, add "ammocount 30" after the command to spawn a magazine loaded with 30 rounds.
Example: #SpawnItem Magazine_M16 ammocount 30
The command #SetInfiniteAmmo true is also an alternative.

-When searching for enemy chests, use a blueprint. If it turns red, something is hidden there. (Works even if the chest is buried.)

-To steal a car, it is sometimes faster to break the door than to unlock it. Less than 5 MP5 magazines are needed to break a Rager door, or 100 rounds of 7.62x39. If the door is armored, aim carefully at the handle.

-When a mech spots you for the first time, raise your arms; it will give you time to escape without shooting. This no longer works once its eyes turn red. (To raise your arms, press F5 → Control > Gestures > stand surrender.)

-control + c copy the current position to the clipboard, even after death. Then paste it on scum map[scum-map.com] in the location tab to display the position. Useful for finding your body, for example.
