Codex Entry

Shipyard Construction

How ship orders queue, build and stack in the hangar.

Per-system construction

Each system runs its own shipyard: you place orders, they build one after another, and the Shipyard page shows what is under construction and what is waiting its turn.

Build times

Every hull has its own construction time (see the Ship Catalog). A higher Shipyard builds noticeably faster, and the late-game Nanite Forge accelerates everything again. The exact per-ship time is shown in the Shipyard before you order.

Hangar inventory

  • Built ships sit in the system's hangar until you assign them to a fleet.
  • Hangar contents are per-system, not empire-wide — a Colony Ship in System A can only launch from System A.
  • You can assemble fleets from any subset of stationed ships in a given system.

What you'll see in the Shipyard page

  • The active build with its ETA, and everything waiting behind it.
  • The hangar inventory grouped by ship type.
  • A composer for assembling a new fleet from the hangar.
