Constructor Speed

[Scipio1st]

New to the game and looks really nice. I have a gripe about how long the constructor takes to create each component. Are there any settings to increase the crafting in this game? OR do the constructors increase in speed further into the game I go?

Just a bit concerned as I do not have time to sit here for an hour waiting for these things to process.

Advanced Constructors go faster, and do the manufacturing process from the ingots - final product.

unlock at level 18 or something like that

Welcome to Empyrion, it's insanely fun. The best thing to do while you're waiting is to queue up a bunch of things, even if you don't need it, because you will eventually, by holding SHIFT and clicking on what you want. Then go explore or mine and level up while you're waiting for crafting. This is the most efficient way to craft.

Also, the Advanced Constructor crafts much faster than the Constructor, which in turn is faster than the Small Constructor, which is faster than the Survival Constructor.

which is faster than doing it by hand (hammer + nails)

I feel at the current rate there needs to be something to explore. At the moment the only thing to explore are those bases with drones, but I would expect to need proper fire power to attack those. Maybe the devs could give us access to building more than one of those beginner constructors so that more than one item could be contructed at any one time. In SE I like how I can build a second refinery and assembler to be able to double my construction.

I guess the second question would be is does the game allow more than one constructor per base? I haven't tried that yet, but would it also be worth the resources?

You can put any number of constructors on base, cv, hv and sv. It helps a lot on cv and base.

Yeah, I usually have two constructors in a base. One is the main one, the other mostly refines ore, makes fuel packs and ammo. I've seen people have four or more - it just depends on how much stuff you need to build at one time.
