Not too bad, some items didn't change, while others were usually less than 10 units +/-. Just enough to make you want to kick yourself when you had to return to the stations to pick up the units you were short, and to scratch your head when you made it back to the FC after dropping off materials and there were still some in your cargo hold. I don't know, but my guess is that they were just tweaking the values. Beta be Beta-ing, so no big deal in the whole scheme of things, but thought I'd mention it.

Hi 
I’ve built my first outpost and want to start a second construction. How do I select this ?
Thanks

Has anyone built a successful refinery facility that you can dock at that isn't a t3 Planetary port? The refinery under hubs is the horizon settlement even though in the Nav Panel it states it has appropriate landing pads and activity is trade
Does the type of planet I'm going to build on make any difference? Is there a difference between an icy body and a metal rich one?
Will it be possible to build federation or empire shipyards?
Depends what kind of a difference you mean. I don't think you can build refineries on icy bodies?
Probably need to use Powerplay to get one of the Empire or Federation powers to take over the system, once built.
So, question that may have been answered earlier in the thread but I either didn't read or forgot I read it...
Do you only get a construction point for a completed facility after the weekly tick (or for subsequent construction after the primary/first one)? I'm certainly not seeing one yet after finishing the primary starport which was an outpost.

This is my current architect view:
after building a Coriolis and then an outpost.

We've had a report that the cost in commodities is higher for some people than for others for the same type of facility. Could be to do with Pilot's Federation ranking, perhaps Trade PF ranking. Has anyone else seen this?
Does anyone know how long it takes for the main Station to finish after the Commodities have been delivered?
Until the Thursday tick/maintenance downtime, I think. (i.e. to get all the shops open, mission-givers, etc, rather than being a shut-down "skeleton" facility in fitting-out Deploying mode).

Quantities for me (two outposts) have varied, but only by a few tons. Someone on a stream speculated that because it's a Beta, FDev have been tinkering with the quantities required. The test would be if two different players pick the same facility type at the same time, and get different commodities-needed costs (or not).
Has anyone worked out what purpose is served by System Colonisation Ships in already-inhabited systems? I docked at one out of curiosity, and that's all I could do there. They don't even provide R/R/R.
Almost immediately.
Once you have delivered everything, the station should appear nearby. You should be able to dock and walk around, although all the services will not be available until the following 'Thursday tick'.
Most services will be offline, but not all. I know that Apex shuttles, Colonisation contact, and Commodity markets can be available before the tick.
Native factions can't be kicked out of a system.
Is it definite that the founding faction is native?
