Remote Ship Builder Terminals - v1.0.1

Prototype engineering gear, circulating quietly in the Settled Systems

A shadowy independent startup is shaking up the Settled Systems with a bold new idea: remote ship building on demand. Their Remote Ship Builder Terminals let you install fully functional ship fabrication consoles in any outpost or player home—bringing the shipyard directly to your doorstep. These terminals are fully animated and operate like custom workbenches, providing an immersive shipbuilding experience. Their identity is unknown. Their funding is unclear. Their tech is suspiciously advanced for an outfit no one claims to know.

The terminals can detect your vessel's current location and deploy autonomous ShipTech Drones to most landing pads and zones. Their origins are unclear—some say leaked from an off-the-books R&D pipeline, others whisper that the tech is borderline illegal—but the results are undeniable.

Build anywhere. Customize anywhere. Explore the frontier with tech that may or may not be entirely legal.

Important: Star station player homes and docking ports are not currently supported; however, they will be added in a future update.

Features at a Glance

• Fully animated shipbuilder terminals that function like custom workbenches and can be built from the Crafting section of the build menu.
• Two Part Preference Modes: Standard & Enhanced
• Optional manufacturer-exclusive part display
• Compatible with most mod-added parts.

Part Preference Modes

Terminals support two Part Preference Modes:

Standard Mode

Provides the same part inventory you’d expect from a typical outpost vendor. This mode should be the most compatible with other ship builder customization mods and patches.

Enhanced Mode

Pulls catalogs directly from participating manufacturers, letting you filter ship parts by brand for a more curated building experience.

Note: Enhanced Mode is required to access manufacturer-exclusive parts. A built-in setting lets you toggle whether these restricted parts appear, giving both immersion-focused captains and all-access builders the freedom to define their experience.

Rumored Future Plans

• Optionally allow crew to use the ship builders as workstations wit additional animations
• Enable support for use on star station player homes
• Handheld ship builder terminal(s) for quick access at any landing zone
• Additional custom designed builders
• Skins for all of the builders

Mod Integration and Load Order

For best compatibility, it is recommended to place this mod above your ship mods and any mods that change which parts are available in your outpost.

No vanilla forms or scripts have been modified, and the Enhanced Mode vendor is custom built to prevent conflicts. Standard Mode spawns the vanilla outpost vendor as-is, so any mod(s) that modify the available ship parts should carry over and apply automatically.

Important: Most mod-added ship parts will always appear in the builder, even in Enhanced Mode. This is intentional—many mod authors design their parts to be universally available, and these components don’t use manufacturer-specific filters. They won’t be hidden in Enhanced Mode, and this is expected behavior.

Enhanced Mode Supported Mods

Some mods do have full Enhanced Mode support. These integrations require collaboration with the original mod author. Currently, the following mods have Enhanced Mode support:

• DarkStar (TGO and DSA) by WykkydGaming
• Varuun Technical Institute (Free and AF Version) by GreenRecon
• Watchtower: Orbital.Strike\Fleet.Command by kinggath_creations
• Falkland Systems (Version 2.0+) by HjaImere
• Antares Reclaimed Ship Modules (Coming Soon) by desqell

You do not need to have any of these mods installed to use this mod. Support for these mods is optional. Enhanced Mode simply includes additional custom detection and filtering if the supported mods are present in your load order.

I welcome requests from other mod authors who want to add the same type of support. If you’re interested, please reach out so we can collaborate. This ensures your parts work seamlessly with Enhanced Mode.
