That's the spot. You can also change what wares are needed to build those drones. Go to the station's first information panel and you'll see a section that lets you choose the default build method.

Not currently in game, so doing this from memory, but:

Universal = drone parts, smart chips, energy cells (this is the typical non-Terran build path)
Terran = metallic microlattice, silicon carbide, energy cells (this is Terran tech)
Closed loop = claytronics, hull parts, energy cells (this is ToA recycle tech)

Keep in mind if you change that setting, it will also change what materials station construction and ship building uses on that station. The default method can also be changed on the player global settings panel, iirc (the panel that lets you set blacklists and such).

When exactly does it make sense to change universal? If the station is near Terran space (or in it), I guess? If you yourself have pure recycle stations somewhere nearby? (for closed loop)

I made t hat big mistake, just because I started Terran cadet I thought I should set building method to Terran. Yeah good luck with that since you're stranded in Teldari space for quite a while. No terran mats around for love or money. Glad I figured it out relatively early and set it back to universal haha.

I never changed it from Terran. I got a frigate from that mission to save Boso, so I just used that to deliver drones (and Mk 2 laser towers) to stations and capital ships throughout the whole game.
