Will we be able to build capital and none capital shipyards in the future?

I have seen a mod a while back that lets the player build one but i cannot find it on steam workshop

I have built myself an empire now I want to build a fleet

In the vanilla game the S and M ships are produced like wares rather than Buy-to-Order like cap ships. They sell fast and the production lines are often short of components so you need to move quick if you want to buy them as they pop up. If you scan the S/M shipyard production module with a beholder drone you can fully unlock it's info and see what ships it's (not) producing and what wares are missing if production is stopped. Note also that the production lines produce batches of the same ship in hourly cycles so you might have a bit of a wait for a specific ship type.

You need to comm the ship dealer "Enter-5-6-Enter-4" while in the zone where the yard is - then select 1-buy ship.

It's my shipyard, there is no ship dealer that I can see.

OK Not sure then as I haven't built one for myself.

Best to ask this type of question in the thread related to the mod

Player Shipyards and more

Cheers

Not a mod, this is a vanilla game. Thanks though.

You can't build your own shipyard in vanilla!

What do you mean. I have Civ Ship Parts..... That's a shipyard. Prior to 2.5 it couldn't make ships, but since 2.5 it can.

That's correct but in vanilla, I don't think the available construction ships can build that station.

yep, the availability of that Station was a bug, which has long been fixed.. only way he can still have this station is that he built it before it was removed from the builder element, and that was afaik way before 2.0

Yea, I built it like in the first month of the release.. So I got a shipyard that makes ships, but I can't get them.. I need to turn off the shipyard module somehow.

Or looks like there is a limit on how many ships the station can store

No biggie.

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. Are you able to tell the Manager to come back on board? Maybe that would suspend trades.

Out of interest, does this give you free repairs for S+M ships?
