I saw this mentioned several times earlier in this thread, but don't understand how it works. How does building a space yard help with constructing facilities that take 2+ turns? I haven't seen it increase the construction rate of planets.

SY II and III have higher build rates (2500 and 3000). Also, building a SY allows you to get racial SY bonuses to production, such as from Hardy Industrialists and Construction Aptitude. You do not get these bonuses without a SY on the planet.

Thanks IF. So SY I's don't really help (other than receiving those racial characteristics)?

If you get no racial construction bonus (or penalty), then SY I does not alter your construction rate. All it does is allow you to build ships at that planet.
