Default Re: Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving

I have two strategies to build sphereworlds:
1: when I have plenty of resources I make 8 spaceyard ships
and have em construct like this:
1->3: 3xcables
4:1xCables + 1xplating
5->7: 3xplating
8: generator

the generator always takes 3 times as long as the cables and plating, so this always works out.

when I havent got much resources I place 21 spaceyard ships and have 10 build plating and 10 cables and one generator, but I stop every plating and cables construction at 0.1yr from completion. (or use a slower spaceyard than the max for those so that it comes about equal in timing with the generator)
