I am haviing problems figuring out how to sell things. The merchant always defaults to sell his stuff, but how do you get into Sell-your-stuff mode?

@pyrow, you just click on the item that dropped with your mouse to pick it up. @quantum, we dont have a full key map detailed yet, but to add to the basics above....q=go down in build or terraform free camera mode & space=go up; w,s,a,d are forward, back side to side & arrow keys on the # pad rotate the camera. I hope this helps!! My next goal in the coming weeks is to make a few tutorial videos and i will add a key map to the list as well ;p Thanks everyone for the feedback and for trying our game!!

Thanks for the guide. Does this guide contain all key binds? If not, is there a full key map for this game anywhere? I have a very bad back problem and need to make a controller profile with xpadder to play the game. :chalice:
