How to Move Objects in Your Ship in Lethal Company

While in your ship, approach the object you want to move and press B. Now, you will see a new interface that shows you its “x-ray blueprint” and allows you to place it elsewhere by pressing B again.

In addition to this, you can rotate the item while you’re holding it by holding “R” on your keyboard (this will turn the item clockwise), and with “X,” you can store it if it’s getting in your way. To get it out of your Storage, head out to your Terminal and access Storage, where you will type in the name of the item you want restored from the Storage and into the ship.
