Sarnian -> Constructor Construction (4/2/2011 8:35:41 PM)

I'm starting my first game, and after a few hours, would like to turn off automatic ship construction suggestion.

One thing puzzles me -how can I build more Constructors? I've found quite a few disabled cruisers I'd like to repair, but am short on constructor units, most of which are building gas mines etc.

Regards

I don't personally turn off auto suggest ship construction, the AI will remind you when you need more ships. You will then stay on the miltary strength power curve with the other empires.

You can turn off the suggestion thru the empire policy screen or hotkey O.

The best way is from the build screen you can build constructors then at a number of colonies. The build screen is on the right hand side under messages.

You may wanna use the constructors at the top of the constructors window on the left for your debris field repairs. Otherwise you could be using a constructor from anywhere in the list. This will make checking up on them easier.

Welcome to the forum![;)]

Thanks for the rapid reply!

For some reason, when I select a yard, either through the build screen or by clicking on it, I only get options to build explorers or military ships -never constructors.
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Constructors are not built at yards, they are built at Planets.

Yes colonies build constructors,colony ships,resupply ships,space ports,defensive bases,troops etc etc

Click on your home world you will then see the options

Space ports build STATE & PRIVATE sector ships

Note that even if you don't want to wait until new ones are built you can always queue up the desired missions with the existing constructors. So even if they build mines atm right click on them and queue the next mission you like on the queue submenu.
Have fun and welcome to the community, Sarnian.
