Make Stations Build Faster?

Post by JamesJB » Tue, 3. Dec 13, 06:27

Is there a way in the save file to decrease the time Stations are built?

I ask cause waiting for a station takes for ever. Was just wondering if it was possible to decrease the time it takes to build stations once they have the resources.

They can build pretty fast now.. all depends on the level of the Architect and other factors like number of drones working... etc etc.... I used the No Drone mod and my first building took about 30 mins.. I jumped for joy :lol:

Umm not to sound dumb but Construction Ships needs Drones? I didn't know that cause in the description of the Construction Ship in the Encyclopedia its a one time use ship so I thought putting drones on it would be a waste?

Man I feel so dumb,no wonder stations in previous games took so long :(

Any way to get drones over to the ship? Its building without drones.

Architect:

Management: 5
Engineering: 5
Navigation: 4

Edit: Do I need to replace my Architect if I install the No Drone Mod?

Edit 2: I tried looking for the No Drone mod but can't seem to find it. :(

He's probably talking about the "no cargo lifter URVs" mod. i doubt it affects construction URVs in any way. you can't equip drones to the construction vessel any more, simply because you'd need to be able to add it to your squad and move over to a dockyard for that. once it started building, that's not possible any any more.

You can edit the amount of construction urvs it has. If you have 500-1000 of them it builds almost everything near instantly.

Find your ship in the save and change the drone amount to this

<item macro="units_size_xs_welder_drone_macro" amount="1000"/>

It might break your save fyi as you can get long conga lines of drones and eventually the game will CTD.

I'd recommend setting it to something more sensible like 30-50.

Still plenty of a build time reduction :P

First of all, this is a seven years old thread. Posting in such old threads is frowned up. Secondly, Ventures only exist in X4: Foundations, which means you're also in the wrong forum. ;) I'm going to lock this thread due its age. Please check for any relevant topics in the X4: Foundations Scripts and Modding forum, and if you don't find any, feel free to create an own one.
