Do Orbital Space Yards need supply canisters?

I'm going to guess yes, because they decided that EVERYTHING needs supplies regardless of whether it has engines or weapons.

They seem to be able to build ships without any though.

they don't need supplies to build ships no.

Also, is it me or is it odd that orbital shipyards a slower than planetary ones. You'd think it'd be the other way round, what with the lack of gravity.

The beginning space yard tech only build 1k at a time while the ground based does 2 I think. Increasing space yard tech probably increases the construction rate.

Working in low/0 G probably has it's difficulties too, until you get good at it.
