Building station

Post by zimzim » Mon, 11. Nov 19, 15:38

Why and how to reduce the construction time of production modules.
At the beginning of the construction of my mega factory, the construction time is light but the more I build the more the time is long.

Why this ?

How can I do to reduce construction time?

Thanks for your feedback.

Destroy the current builder if you experience more than half hour/ module. Sometimes it can be stuck with more than a hour / production module.
Then assign a personal builder WITHOUT a single drone. This makes no sense i know but trust me.

There's also the age old trick of parallelization, that is don't have everything in one station. Worker accumulation is also per-station so will be a bottleneck as well at some point.

Ok, so I had to go back to an earlier save, before the construcion started (was lucky that autosave cought that), cause I couldn't cancel the construcion or the builder, and I didn't want to just start shooting..
So I've cleared the whole plot, confirm and left it like that. All the materials that were on their way, were delivered, and the builder left.
Then I bought a contruction ship with only building drones, drew me a nice food/medical complex and let my builder build it. Worked like a charm.

Moral of the story - never outsource a crucial job to worthless Argonians, do it youself.
