Building an Advanced Ship Across Worlds
A Courier or Velos is not a one-world project. High-Thrust Propulsion unlocks both. Each ship needs Cores. The rest of the bill is Alloys, Prefab, Electronics, Fuel and Polymers.
Specialized worlds
Rocky and Volcanic worlds are the ore belt. Common Ores go through a Smeltery into Alloys. Rare Ore plus alloy becomes Electronics.
Terran or Desert worlds crack Hydrocarbons into Polymers and Fuel at a Cracking Facility.
Ocean worlds synthesize Fuel. A Fuel Synthesizer sits on water tiles and spends energy to make it.
Ice is the late piece. Crystal mines there. A Core Fab spends crystal and Antimatter to make Cores.
One Shipyard
Any colony with a Launch Site and a Shipyard in orbit can finish the job. Haul the outputs to that Shipyard. Queue the ship after High-Thrust Propulsion.
Compare Courier and Velos on Ships. The buildings that run the chain sit on Buildings.
Clear skies, commanders.
