1 Minute Build Time [Excluding Defence]

In 1 collection by Ram
Ram's X4 Mods

Description
All non-mod station modules build in 1 minute, except defence platforms and administrative buildings, which have the vanilla build time.

Do not use this with any other mod which changes build times.

The build time reduction applies to every faction except Xenon.
If you only want it for yourself, exclusively use the 10x / 100x module mods instead.


This mod provides the QOL benefit of low build time for industrial stations while preventing the player and AI from rapidly constructing defences. Everyone must use fleet support while defences are under construction.

The encyclopedia says 1 second, but it's actually 1 minute.
It's just set to 1 second to guarantee the hard-coded minimum build time of 1 minute.

Since this mod also allows NPCs to build faster, factions tend to do better against the Xenon.
Consider using these Xenon buff mods:
Xenon Jobs Lite or Xenon Jobs (harder version)
OOS Turret Buff
Xenon Graviton Range
Xenon Impulse Beam
Deadair's Scripts[github.com]
Deadair includes many improvements beyond the Xenon, but you can disable any features you don't want through the extensions options in-game.

Does this work for 7.6?

Also I like your other mods esp Xenon jobs+ and turret buffs. Love fighting the swarms

@Ram Correct, i sometimes play the Xenon start mod and would like any mod that makes Xenon a stronger threat in my other play throughs.

I'm hoping (not likely) Egosoft adds an official xenon start. As it stands most xenon ships do not have cockpits (obviously), cannot be piloted and the player has to use faction builders to create stations.

Its not the end of the world I was just ranting, Someone released a recent one but it breaks Xenon start mod and its only to address a inflated defence platform build time bug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Bussy:
It's mostly an oversight since players can't build it. The main purpose of such mods is player QOL as the vanilla timer leads to ridiculous idling. The NPC Xenon mostly don't need it since they only build shipyards, solar panels, and defense platforms. The latter is the majority, and it's purposefully excluded from this mod even for the normal factions.

Are you using a mod to play as Xenon or just want the speed for them too?

damn every single build mod excludes xenon modules :/

@老干八
This mod does not affect Xenon modules.

你好作者,我使用了Xenon Start Mod,因为这个mod能让我开局能建造xenon的所有模块,然后我发现并没有被加速。我想问一下如果我想让这个mod生效我该怎么做

@SirSerhio:
It should work because it just overrides all the vanilla values.

This mod runs 7.5 versions?
