Can I Upgrade Weapon Platforms?

For a planet, you only get the base rate if you don't have a spaceyard.

So when building a level one spaceyard, you are effectively buying only the ability to build ships.

The 3600 build rate would be from the following:
2k for the yard, +80% for bonuses = 3600

(25%(H.I.)+25%(SY skill)+30%(population) = 80% bonus)

Suicide Junkie,
Am I correct in inferring that a Level II or III shipyard will increase build rate for
everything built there except facilities? Now that I think about it, yes it does.

Is there a mod that will increase the build rate of facilities? Somehow I doubt it.

A little unclear on what you are asking Gryph. Space Yard contruction rate applies to everything built on that planet, including facilities. The determining factor of how long it takes to build a facility is how many resources it takes to build it, just like a ship or a unit. Ships and facilities however can only ever be built one at a time. SO even if the Space Yard rate is enough to build two in one turn you will only get one. That's hardcoded.

Is that what you were asking?

Geo, Thanks, that is ecxatly what I was asking.
Oh, and now that I think of it, that explains why I have seen some planets take 13 turns to build a facilty and others ony 10.

I think the initial confusion was whether the base rate and the SY facility rate were added.
