Build Time

1 minute*
*The Encyclopedia states the build time as 1 second because it is set to this value to guarantee the hard-coded minimum build time of 1 minute.



Why is the build time only 1 minute?
I disagree with the system of adding an arbitrary extra amount of time onto the construction.

Using Hull Parts Modules as an example:
The vanilla module takes almost 15 real minutes to build; actually building 100 Hull Parts Modules would take an entire real day. That is ridiculous. Shifting the limiting factor to resources and logistics instead of arbitrary timers gives players more agency. Gathering the massive amount of resources required to build these 100x modules is enough time.

Also, if I set the build time to 100x, it would be worse than building 100 vanilla modules as you would have to wait 24 hours up front before you benefit from any production. In contrast, vanilla modules would add the production of 1 module every 15 minutes.

The main purpose of this mod is the performance improvement and QOL of using fewer modules.



This mod is compatible with and intended to be used alongside 10x modules variations.

100m Universal Storage + 100K Habitat is compatible, but we add some of the same things, he does not allow the Terran build method, and he uses much cheaper cost scaling.

Consult this discussion for more information about the differences between our mods.
