📋 About This Mod

Speeds up player-purchased ship construction to around 30 seconds, or up to 1 minute for longer builds. Preserves equipment, crew, drones and consumables, supports identical quantity orders, and includes optional in-game enable/disable

Player Ship Fast Build

Reduces the active construction time of ships purchased by the player.

Most ships take approximately 30 seconds. Ships with much longer original build times may take up to approximately 1 minute.

Works at NPC-owned and player-owned wharfs and shipyards. NPC and faction ship construction is unchanged.

Also available on Steam.

Installation

Extract the mod and place the following folder inside your X4

extensionsfolder:

inix_player_ship_build_1min

X4 Foundations\extensions\inix_player_ship_build_1min

A new game is not required.

Mixed Ship Orders

Different ships, different loadouts and Quantity orders can be queued at the same shipyard.

The mod matches orders using the ship type and full per-ship price. If an order cannot be safely identified because data is missing or ambiguous, that ship uses normal X4 construction speed instead.

Queued Ships

The shortened time is applied when the shipyard begins actively constructing the ship.

A queued ship may continue showing its normal time while waiting for a free construction bay, resources or another internal shipyard condition. This is normal X4 behaviour.

Optional Extension Options Support

The following mods are optional:

  • []SirNukes Mod Support APIs [/]

    []Options Helper [/]

When both are installed, the mod can be enabled or disabled from:

Escape Menu → Extension Options → Player Ship Fast Build

Without them, fast construction is enabled by default.

Changing the setting only affects future builds.

Adding or Removing the Mod

The mod can be added to an existing save.

From version 5. 0. 0 onward, the previous removal issue has been fixed and tested.

When upgrading from an older version, load your save with version 5. 0. 0 or newer installed, wait for the safe-removal upgrade message, and save again.

Players using a version older than 5. 0. 0 who do not want to update can use Inix Universal Ship Build Save Cleanup.

Fully restart X4 after installing, updating or removing the mod.

Compatibility

Do not use this mod together with Player Ship Build Speed Control.
