The galactopedia suggests one of each MC per CB, yet the AI designs do not do this.
What i find also interesting is that the default spaceport designs don't follow this rule. The starting spaceport has eight construction yards but only four of each manufacturing center. It is probably the same with the smaller models, but I don't remember for sure.
Building more than strictly required of these shouldn't hurt too much, unless they are also really expensive to maintain. I think it may come down to these 'capacity' ratings that shipyards and the manufacturing centers have. If (what should never happen) all of a ship's parts were in the industrial area, you'd probably need an according capacity in industrial manufacturing centers to have the yard build the ship at full speed.
This leads to a question: How is manufacturing on a planet handled? Do their manufacturing centers have infinite capacity (or the equivalence of a capacity of whatever the planetside spaceyard has for each area) or are they limited but can draw on unused capacity of the spaceport, if any?
Constructor ships have one of each manufacturing center, except for industrial (four, IIRC?). This should be massive overkill for one spaceyard, under my above hypothesis. Maybe the industrial centers can be relevant for something else? I have to admit, that I didn't read much of the galactopedia yet.
