Yard Automation
Yard Automation: Shortens mobile-craft build time without affecting ground guns or Yard capacity.
How to use it
Shortens mobile-craft build time without affecting ground guns or Yard capacity
Each level reduces the time of every future mobile-craft order across your worlds, including Prospectors. It does not speed up ground defences, reduce resource prices or add Yard queue slots.
Requirements & connections
No prerequisite research.
This project has 5 paid levels. Completed research applies across your planets. Payment comes from the selected world’s Store. Funding from another world does not create another research queue. Started research cannot be cancelled.
Connections: Industrial.
Reference values
Each row is the separate cost of reaching that level. Research time uses your capital’s Core even when a colony pays the bill.
