You just saved me a lot of heartache. I'm staying away from much of this until we get a comprehensive written guide.

What? Yea, this will be impossible.
First station was not placeable but happened to be around a planet with a few slots. So I put up an ag center in the next one just to find that the game swapped them. So the ag center is now 0 and the outpost is 1.
So that's a real kicker. Still holding on to see if some other bugs clear up such as multiple sticky construction zones after completion.
How much was it?
barebone FC costs you 5 billion plus some pocket-money to fill up Tritium to 1000 to....
At weekly tic, 27Mar25, I did not receive an in-game inbox message regarding the Colonization status report income/happiness/etc. I did receive the carrier expense report and the powerplay income statement. I have no idea if I got the 500k or so colony payment, however. No way to check that in the logs. Anyone have this issue?
However, on a positive note, most of my backlogged constructions were completed. The only one that wasn't was just finished the day before.

The 1st one is a HMC , the 2nd is a icy moon of a gas giant with 2 metal ring. The gas giant has no orbit slot
Can anyone confirm this? As in "What?!"
If true this needs to be clearly communicated, because it is quite a random rule.
Imho a squad mate has a station with economy influence in the second slot.

Hello All,
I have been reading the forums here since Trailblazers started to try and grasp how it all works. Thank you all for your discussions and insight. I have a couple of questions.
1. I believe the shipyard is available on the Coriolis and greater orbitals and the HUGE surface port. Are shipyards available for any other installation, like the surface ports that need ~ 37,000 units/tons to build?
2. I started a system with a Coriolis, yeah, I know. It has one orbital slot which I believe can affect it's economy? What can I put here to produce more shi@ and gas? Just kidding. Is there anything I can put here to alter the economy? Extraction, refinery, industrial, or high-tech would be my first choices, and how much of an effect would just the one slot do?
Here's a pic.
Thank you,
Cmdr Remod

at the very moment (and with FDev´s announcement to change the aquisition rules of Eco-Influence for such Stations), I wouldn´t do anything with that system (btw got a complete sys screen you can post?).
...and many many more, so here's my #MeToo:
not a single Installation (four of them) is online, this is the second Thursday tick where nothing happened. The game still sees only their Construction Hubs, finished and inactive for weeks now.
FDevs, hello ?!?!
I believe the answer to 1) is 'no' - at least, when I built my T1 civilian surface port on Monday, it has no shipyard in the features list in the Commander's log, but then again it doesn't seem to have come fully online yet.
Captain's Log readout from yesterday after the server maintenance:

Biggest issue I have with Trailblazers is the FC jump availability. I've been trying to jump so I can load up my FC with materials and there have been No Free Slots constantly.
Even in the quiet periods when the Americans are supposed to be in bed.
Can we have more slot availability please? More people are FC owners now, so it makes sense.
(Some people have defended the no free slots thing as a game feature, I disagree)

Thank you for your quick replies. I definitely have more space, and the Coriolis came with a shipyard. I am better off than most. Do any of the surface ports other than the huge one have a shipyard?
Sorry Kzak, didn't see your reply.
"Do any of the surface ports other than the huge one have a shipyard?" not to my knowledge.
But you got a nice system there!
At A4 and A5 I would build up a Refinery and
And for mining later on an Astro-Base in one of the rings?

I whole-heartily second these ideas! Especially making the construction lists a wing mission, that would just be awesome!
