Starting facs for homeworlds...

The game gives you full credit for all the yards on a planet.

You just aren't allowed to BUILD any when you already have more than zero.

I remember doing that. 50K construction per turn. Build SM ships instantly

That might be a nice way of creating a capitol like planet. A planet with 10 shipyards would be an incredible asset to capture and would be something you would want to defend at all costs.
I might have to try it.

Imagine a Sphereworld full of stackable Temporal Shipyards.

I was running a test game anyways so I tried this with ship yard I. The repeat build flag stayed active but the ship yard did NOT get repeated in the queue.

Temporal SY will need to be tested still

Of course. That bug has been fixed as of V1.3 or perhaps even earlier.

Did a quick test.
I added 600 points of research ability to Shipyard I and started a default game. Had 9 shipyards on my homeworld and build rate was 18k per resource so it looks like this still works. I have v1.30 installed. Don't know what would happen if they were upgraded or if any problems would occur later in the game. Might have to explore this a little more.

Try that again with max tech and I bet you get 8 research III and 1 SY III. SEIV sometimes has a problem with mixed ability comps and facilitys.

However it appears that as of now you can do this so homeworlds (as long as they don't take damage) will start out with massive build ability. But you will not be able to repair or build a new planet with multiple SYs. However you might want to see if the AI does it because it sometimes is able to do some illegal stuff
