The wiki doesn't cover the use of build drones for the S/M wharf, as far as I can tell. It mentions construction drones for builder ships doing station building.
Putting more build drones on my station with S/M fabs makes ships build faster, but how many is right? Is there diminishing returns on effectiveness? I could do this science myself, but I suspect someone has this information from their own experience.
I went from 50 drones to 300, which made a big difference. But I didn't do that in steps I just did one big jump.
The encyclopedia shows a drone capacity of 80 for S/M fab, 20 for L fab and 50 for XL fab. Every module adds drone capacity to a station, so I don't have a reason to believe that the stated 80/20/50 are all the drones a Fab of that size can effectively use. The encyclopedia entry for the building drone has its stats but no indication of effectiveness.
Build drones for wharf. How many?

Re: Build drones for wharf. How many?
according to the post here: viewtopic.php?f=146&t=427542&p=4956870& ... d#p4956870
for each ship of a certain size you can use the following drones max:
S -> 5
M -> 10
L -> 20
XL -> 40
So if you have 10 S building slots you would need 10*5 drones assuming you have no M plans and thus dont use your M slots at all.

Thank you! I should have just gone back a few pages on the forum.
