Honestly, I do not see any reason why I need to be forced bolt these components together manually (which is really just a frustrating and time consuming business). Yes, there is autobolt, but the problem with that is that it exhausts the bolt limit (31,000 bolts) rather quickly. So, for any larger ship/object (or if you want to make your design cost efficient) you are forced to bolt everything together manually.
And that's why I suggest that common ship parts should receive the option to be welded to the ship frame instead of having to be bolted to it.
That way, a lot of time is saved.
Alternatively, of course, a smart autobolt feature could be implemented to place bolts only where they are truly needed!
