NOTES:

• Use a custom actions mod bind (bind yourkey “act 607 hover”) to add a support beam to a crafting window slot to build. If you try to build support beams from your inventory they will drop from the crafting slot intermittently when the wood type changes on the materials you're using.
• This method may require a certain strength level to be able to hold everything in inventory, so you may have to make adjustments.
• If you drag a stack of support beams to the crafting window slot, it will allow you to apply materials to the stack. The game seems to alternate at will between applying material to the current item, or striping through the items in the stack. I suspect this is also caused by using different wood type materials, but I haven't tested it enough to be sure.

I'm recording this here for posterity, and to remind myself as well, since I always forget this method for some reason.

Support beam recipe:

• 2 logs
• 4 shafts
• 2 ribbons.

The starter materials are 1 log and 1 shaft. This leaves you with 1 log, 3 shafts and 2 ribbons as the finishing materials for each support beam. Knowing this, you can plan not only the materials you need (multiples of), but the method by which you make the support beams (carrying multiples of that match the support beams you can carry in inventory), to maximize efficiency.

1. Make a pile of unfinished support beams. The remaining items needed to complete each support beam will be 1 log, 2 shafts and 2 ribbons.
2. Drag 8 logs, 16 ribbons and 24 shafts into inventory (for 4 support beams at a time).
3. Use the custom actions bind (above in Notes; or a quick bind) to add a beam to a crafting slot.
4. Complete the support beam using logs, ribbons and shafts.
   Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all support beams are finished.
