Terran wharf building ships for other factions?

[mores314]

I now have a Terran wharf, which manufactures everything from Mettalic Microlattice, Computronic Substrate, and energy cells. Got to love the simplicity that lets Terrans build anything they like from lick spit and giggly-poo.

After buying some blueprints for ships for another faction, the Teladi, I see they have placed several orders with my wharf. The fab bay now shows that it needs hull parts, advanced electronics and weapon components, but even after providing these, my wharf is not manufacturing those ships.

I know shields from other factions don't materialise by combining blue sparkle with Computronic Substrate, and need shield components and field coils too. But my fab bay does not indicate these are needed.

Likewise, turrets (turret components) and missiles (missile components) would likely not simply appear by themselves.

My question is: How can I get the appropriate tech components to be available to build those Teladi ships in my Terran Wharf?

Huh? If the Teladi Choose to build any kind of Teladi Equipment at your Wharf this Equipment needs Teladi Ressources.... you are not able to replace Non-Terran Ressources with Terran Ressources.
Or do i missunderstood something here?


Edit Ahh now i see: did you check in Logical Overview? Which components does your Wharf store? Might be a Problem that they dont register the other Ressources here and therefore dont try to come by it.

Thanks for responding. Yes, the logical overview showed the need for advanced electronics and hull plates, but nothing else.

I am providing everything that the fab bay says it needs.

The build queue remains stuck. Wish I could post pictures here.

You can by uploading them online and link them here.

Beside that, it might be possible that the Orderd Ships need Shieldcomponents and Field Coils, but the Station didnt registered that or other ones. Try add all components which are needed for the Blueprints you have manually in the Logical Overview and then sustain the Wharf with it.
Thats a bit of work and hassle, but that might fix your problem.
Check in Encyclopedia which Wares are needed for every Blueprint you posses(Ships and Equipment) and add them Via the button on the bottom of the Logical Overview.

Another Problem(which i didnt encounter so far because i do not posses non-terran blueprints) maybe this Problem occures due to the "Terran Building Style" preference, you could try to change that aswell by Righclick on to your Station and than on the Information Tab i believe it should show up. Or in the Tab in which you can set the Global Settings seperatly for this station.

Just a follow up that may help someone else;
1. You need to manually specify all of the wares needed for the build. This includes

• Smart chips
  
• Engine parts
  
• Hull parts
  
• Shield Components
  
• Drone Components
  
• Field Coils
  
• Advanced Composites
  
• Scanning arrays
  
• Weapon Components
  
• Turret components
  
• Missile Components
  
• Antimatter Converters

2. Only then, once you have all of the wares manually added to your wharf, change the default building method to "Universal". The lines connecting the wares to the build module should appear. If you are missing lines between the build module and some of the wares, rinse and repeat.

3. Try scheduling a build for one of the ships. If there are any missing wares, they will be shown. Once all wares are available, you should be able to build ships for other factions.
