Player shipyard, any way to see what's needed

Post by Nosscar » Thu, 21. Feb 19, 17:04

I have built the player shipyard, and a few supporting factories nearby. When i order ships, they mostly have a yellow timer saying resources needed, is there a quick way to see what exactly they are needing to finish the build.

I know i can look at resources in the station and see whats low, but nothing specific to the ships being built, as it is now, i normally go to build same type of ship again, and see what is missing there, but is there a better way i am missing.

The player shipyard, wharf and equipment docks should show you the wares in storage when you open information. You'll need to click on the + next to storage to expand it. For NPC stations, scan the shipyard, especially the storage and then place a satellite near it. From then on, you should be able to open the information on the station and it will show you the wares in storage.

It'll do until I can upgrade the graphics card.

thx for the info, but i already know that, what i am wanting is if there is a way to just see what the ships being built need, so as to prioritise that, seeing the storage levels doesn't rally show what i wanted, as it could also show wares are low for something not needed for those ships.

I know when I'm building ships for myself it will tell you on the "order" page what you are missing. It shows up in the bottom right corner.

I guess if you look at the logical overview of the shipyard, you can see the ship build queue there and it should show you what wares it's missing.

When you buy a ship there are these + signs left to each part of the ship, which tell you exact resource consumption.

When i was designing my SY support plex i summed up resources for a couple ships here.
