Request: Longer build times

[Aragon Speed]

I don't know about anyone else, but I find the build times too short.

I would like to request a mod that makes building things take a slightly more realistic time. M class trading ships should take about 2 hours rather than 2 minutes imo. And station sections should take a couple of days.

I second this request. A L type ship, in my opinion, should take at least 5-10 min, whereas a XL should take 20+. Maybe change it slightly depending on what mods you add/remove at the time.

Agree, that is far to focus on casual players that can not find something else to do in that time.
Do the ships have some kind of weight, that way it could get linked the more weight the longer the time, or the more resources it requires the longer.

Hi there,

I was intrigued to try if I can manage something like this without having much prior knowledge of modding for the X games.

Here's my mod on https://www.nexusmods.com/x4foundations/mods/67/ or https://github.com/buiwo/x4-longer-buildtimes.

This mods extends the build times for all ships by a significant amount.

Base hull build times

• S class: 120 seconds for a-variant; 148 seconds for b-variant
• M class: 300 seconds for a-variant; 360 seconds for b-variant
• L class: 500 seconds for a-variant; 600 seconds for b-variant
• XL class: builders 800 seconds for a-variant; 960 seconds for b-variant; resuppliers 800 seconds for a-variant; 960 seconds for b-variant; carriers 1000 seconds for a-variant; 1200 seconds for b-variant

I hope you like it.
