Building Stations Harvesters can build stations with minerals. You can build a Shipyard, Depot and Habitat for 2 minerals each.

To build a station, ensure you harvester has at least 2 minerals on board, select Build from the Submenu, and choose what you would like to build. You can place your selected station within the 5M build radius of your Harvester.

Transport Minerals You will need to transport minerals to your stations before they can, in turn, produce units. As with units, how much cargo capacity your stations have is a function of their level. A level 1 Shipyard for instance only has 1 cargo capacity, which won’t be enough to build units with.

Once a Shipyard is sufficiently upgraded, you can transport minerals to it from your Harvester. To do this, select your Harvester with minerals on board, hit the ‘T’ transport button in the submenu, and select your Shipyard as the destination. Choose how many minerals to transport, and provided you have enough fuel to make the transport, click the Transport button to confirm.

Build Units from Shipyard

The Shipyard station builds units with minerals. From here you can build Attack Ships, Harvesters and Fuelers for 2 minerals each.

To build a unit, select the Shipyard, ensure it has at least 2 minerals on board, and select build from the submenu. Choose which unit you’d like to build, and place it down within a 5M radius of the Shipyard.
