Space-Engineers – How to Build a Ship in the Latest Update (01.172 Stable)

space-engineers

So I'm relatively new to Space Engineers but up until this point there has been a set of buttons on the bottom left of the "g" menu that allowed you to start building a ship, but today I started the game and the buttons aren't there and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I've googled the issue and couldn't find anything about this. I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to start a ship or if I just have to start building on a landing gear that isn't locked down. I'm trying to build a small ship if that helps at all.

You can just place any block in space to start building a ship, or place it partially inside an asteroid to make it a station.

Placing landing gears as the first block has been glitchy for me, and doesn't connect to the block I place it on until I reload the world. I don't think this is intentional and might be fixed.
