So, what you do is:
a) Add a new facility, with the same family number as your spaceyards.
b) Give it a roman numeral of zero (less than any true space yard)
c) Remove the space yard construction abilities.
d) Name the new facility something like "Spaceyard Expansion Project", and have it cost 50,000 organics or similar.

I don't understand that...why the way to mod this is not :
a)Add a new facility, with AN OTHER family number than your spaceyards.
b) Give it a roman numeral of the number you want due to your level number(differents levels of expansions)
c) KEEP the space yard construction abilities or one of them if you want to make specialized expansion and if you want add some to put a maintenance cost to these very usefull facilities....
d) Name the new facility something like "Spaceyard Expansion Project", and have it cost 50,000 organics or similar.

Maybe i haven't understood nothing to modding...it might be that.
thanks for youre answer !

You cannot BUILD more than one facility on a planet that has the space yard construction ability. There is a hard code game restriction against this. You cannot mod it. The game won't even let you put another Space Yard in the build queue for that planet if it already has one. That is the reason for letter c.

You CAN however uprgrade a facility from one that has no Space Yard ability to one that has the Space Yard ability, if it is available in the mod. However, to upgrade form one facility to another, they both have to have the same familiy number, and the one you are upgrading too has to have a higher roman numeral. The reason the suggestion in letter A was made, was so you can upgrade the expansion facility to a true space yard facility, and thus only have to add one facility, the space yard expansion facility. If you want a whole separate branch of Space Yard Expansion facilities you can do that and give them separate family numbers and start at whatever roman numeral you wish, but you must have the facility you are building the same family as what you will upgrade too, and you must have the one you are upgrading too be a higher roman numeral.
