Build ships

[Shrimpy]

How do you build ships, I am on turn 20 i have researched new hull types weapons, colonized another planet, but i cant figure out what to click on to make more ships.

Go into your Military menu (the 5th symbol on the upper left, the one shaped like a spaceship).
There, on your right window ou have a list of all ship designs available to you ... here you an upgrade existing designs as well as create new ones.

As for building them:
Well, in the build menu of the systems of course, th one where you also build your buildings

Click the ship icon at the top left of the screen, then when you're in the ship screen you should see 'create' at the top right. I think that's how it's done.

Zoom into a system view screen where the planets are lined up horizontally and in the lower part of screen there should be 3 boxes. On left hand box scroll down and ships should be at bottom(or you can chose the tab to show only ships) and left click or double click to add to queue.

Yea, this game really needs a brief, to the point tutorial on how to play. I am pretty astounded how much is going on in the initial game to overwhelm new players with questions that they did not think of this.

Unfortunately the tutorial other people linked me was from July? of 2016 and a ton of stuff is different plus the guy was super verbose, just eating up your time with needless thoughts until you just turn it off.

Devs really dropped the ball here on getting new players interested.

Thank you! I didn't see the tiny scroll bar, nor did i realize you can seperate from ships and buildings. I think I am still doing the tutorial not sure it just kinda went away...

What does the resource icon mean next to the module slots on the ship in the ship builder menu?

[the_charch]

those slots cost that resource to use

[Strandly]

That's it? No bonus for using a mod of that color on that slot or anything?

No, its simply the cost of strapping this extra equipment to the hull.

Also, necroposters are given to the Cravers as a snack.

Why would I start another thread when this one works perfectly for the question?

Your question doesn't fit the initial topic, and the thread is over 5 years old. Just let it rest, ffs. Simply post a new thread for a new question, it's not like steam will run out of server space.
