How to find station building requirements

[Thufar]

I posted a similar request in the Spoilers forum, and got crickets in response. Thought I'd be better asking in here.

Previously, I've never cracked open any of the code to an X game. I'm trying to find the station building requirements in Rebirth. Does anyone know where to find them? How to recognize them? I'd like to build myself a spreadsheet - unless someone's already done something like that. If so, I'd appreciate a link.

Thanks, Thu

Take a look at http://roguey.co.uk/xrebirth/stations/station-42/

Be aware that things may have changed, but there should be enough info there to get you started

Thanks Snafu_X3, I've gotten that far - and that's about where I'm stuck.

its tricky.

first you have to find what parts make up each stage of construction. I forget where it is exactly but i think its in the macro files under assets/structures/buildtrees

from there you have to go to the wares file under libraries and find the all the station parts for each stage and add up their component needs. they will all be named something like stn_econ_energystorage or something along those lines.

It is by no means fast or simple to do unfortunately.

I think that's a huge understatement. I just got a glimpse of the scope of the project.
