Sentient AI Assembly Yards (10x Ship Build Speed) For for Stellaris
Sentient AI Assembly Yards (10x Ship Build Speed) For for Stellaris
This mod adds a standalone technology that unlocks a spaceport module which increases the build speed of all combat ships (Corvettes, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships) by 1000%. In other words, ships built at the host spaceport will finish ten times faster than normal. Maybe it’s just me but I always found it odd that for all the things Synths and AIs excel at, more efficient construction was not one of them.
This is a late game technology that requires Spaceport Level 6 and, obviously, Sentient AI to be researched before it will show up. It is both a Rare and Dangerous technology with a base weight (chance to appear) of 25%. Militarists are 1.25 times more likely to acquire it, and Fanatic Militarists are 1.5 times more likely. Non-player empires meeting the prerequisites should also be able to research this tech, so beware!
The spaceport module itself has a hefty build and maintenance cost in an attempt to somewhat balance the incredible advantage that it provides. Initially it will need 5000 minerals, 1000 energy credits, 200 influence, and 5 years to construct, and will require 200 energy credits and 100 minerals monthly to remain operational. These costs are subject to change pending community feedback, and if requested I can happily post an alternative version(s) so people can choose what they like best (i.e. something like +500% (5x) build speed at half the costs of the original).
Tested and working in my own save file, however this IS my first mod and I do not claim it to be absolutely flawless. If you encounter any errors, please let me know and I will do my best to fix it ASAP.
Enjoy!
