Player Ship Build Speed Control

Player Ship Build Speed Control

Adjust the construction time of ships purchased by the player from 1% to 200% of their normal build time.

The mod works at NPC-owned and player-owned shipyards. It only affects player ship orders and does not change faction or AI ship construction.

• []Build-time slider from 1% to 200%[/]

  []Supports S, M, L and XL ships[/]

  []Works at NPC-owned and player-owned shipyards[/]

  []Supports mixed ship types, different loadouts and Quantity orders[/]

  []Preserves equipment, software, crew, captain, marines, ammunition, drones, deployables and consumables[/]

  []Exactly 100% leaves the original vanilla build untouched[/]

  Build-Time Examples

  • []1% — extremely fast[/]

    []50% — half the normal time[/]

    []100% — normal vanilla time[/]

    []200% — twice the normal time[/]

    X4 still enforces its normal minimum construction step, so very short builds may not scale exactly at low percentages.

    • []Install and enable the required extensions.[/]

      []Open Settings → Extension Options.[/]

      []Select Player Ship Build Speed Control.[/]

      []Enable the mod and choose a percentage.[/]

      []Purchase ships normally.[/]

      The selected percentage is stored when each ship is ordered. Changing the slider afterward will not affect existing orders.

      Disabling the mod causes new ship orders to use normal X4 construction times.

      Safety and Cancellation

      If the mod cannot safely identify an order because purchase data is missing or ambiguous, the ship remains at normal construction speed.

      Queued ships that have not started retain normal X4 cancellation and refund behaviour.

      Started ships remain non-cancellable, matching normal X4 behaviour.

        Important Compatibility Warning

        Use either Player Ship Build Speed Control or Player Ship Fast Build. Do not enable both.

        They modify the same ship-building process and may overwrite each other.

        Other mods that edit the same ship-trader or construction scripts may also cause compatibility issues.

        Older Save Repair

        Older versions could affect ship construction after the mod was removed. This issue has now been fixed.

        Players using the latest version do not need to do anything.

        The cleanup utility is only needed for old affected saves where the mod has already been removed and the player does not want to reinstall it:
