How you do prevent the AI form ordering a ship with equipment you can't produce but have the blueprint for???
The original issue is still a problem. I often have to cancel ship builds in my Wharf because they don't start building and hold up production. In my wares list I see the Terran wares are needed, but I don't have a means to get them at the moment (and honestly, I don't care to).
It really should be possible to set what build type is allowed in ship building facilities. It shouldn't be dependent on what blueprints are owned, that's just stupid. There needs to be a toggle (terran, regular, both, or whatever). It makes the game annoying that these small issues keep cropping up.

Already in the game. Can toggle between different build methods in station info: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t7uu01vckxoxe ... 1.jpg?dl=0thijso wrote: ↑Sun, 25.

Can also set a default for all stations in player information/global orders: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qycysd33bkhwy ... 1.jpg?dl=0
By the way, generally preferable to start a new topic rather than resurrecting an old one which may contain obsolete info. <Now split out. AP>

TER will only ever order TER ships with TER equipment. If you don't want to build those ships because you don't have the parts needed, just restrict TER and PIO from ordering ships at your shipyard.
I aim to misbehave...

As far as I can tell this only says how stations are built, it says nothing about ships and/or equipment. I have it set to Universal, but for stations, for example, now that I have blueprints for TER turrets and shields, the default loadouts select those. Which is extremely annoying, and isn't what I said. I said Universal.GCU Grey Area wrote: ↑Sun, 25. Sep 22, 12:01Already in the game.

Hhm, okay, I'll try to set that, see if it makes a difference for the ship building.

Preferred build method setting does affect shipbuilding for those elements which have multiple build methods, such as thrusters, missiles, drones & other consumables. However it only controls build method, don't think it has anything to do with configuring loadouts. Those still need to be selected by the player.thijso wrote: ↑Sun, 25.

It would be nice in the Logical Structure to select the ship building module and enable/disable ship build options (multiple choice):
- Commonwealth
- Terran
- Closed Loop (can only be enabled by itself)

For your case there is though. It's called restricting Terrans from buying ships from you.
