"station construction satellite": how much of what do I need?

[Monster]

Hi,

I've ventured past the starter system, which I have learned is called Hadron or something, to perform a scout mission. I have finished the scout mission, and there are things there to do. One of them is "Build a rafinery (HSC)" at the location of a "station construction satellite". Some research tells me I need a cargo transporter to fill the "station construction satellite" with resource so it can build the station.

My problem is: How much of what do I need? My scouting ship does not have a cargo transporter (nor the material needed). There are no hints at all about what I need. Do I just have to randomly dump stuff until the station magically appears? I can't find any info on this in the wiki. There isn't even any match for "satellite" ...

I have built a large ship with everything on, including a rift generator, lots of storage, everything to mine and process resources, and a cargo transporter. But I never use it, because I honestly can't face having to spend half of my play-time mining hydrogen for it. I only ever get it out of storage, if I need an assembler, because I could not find any station with an assembler in the starter system.

As long as the station needs only "ordinary stuff" to be built, I'm sure I can build it with my "big ship". But I don't want to have to fly back-and-forth 5 times to get the right stuff; it's just too expensive (I also don't know where to mine the xantium, if that is even possible).

Do [TAB] then select the [Events] option: it will provide a list of all [events] that you can perform within the galaxy you are in, including the builds.

Select one, and it will provide a list of materials needed, typically X of Iron, X of Copper and X of Silicon, some need other refined materials. If you don't see them there, travel to the build-site then within the Cargo teleporter's view, select the satellite and it will also display what is needed.

The cargo teleporter is required to [send] the materials to the build-site.

If you have a fairly medium/large ship with lots of cargo space, a refinery and extractor, you can build these stations quite quickly. Most of them simply need the standard 3 (Iron, Copper and Silicon).

Apologies if some of this is not precise, I'm reaching from memory.

BTW, Xanthium is produced by a refinery through a combination of things. Do [TAB] select the [Encyclopedia], then look for Xanthium. The encyclopedia provides the recipe as well as the machinery used to make it. Encyclopedia is your friend.
