Who builds what where?

Monitoring stations can be built by both colonies and constructors.

Thanks for clarifying. Based on all this, I revised my DW Newb Construction Chart (tm) to show the facilities that can be built either by colonies or construction ships.

Are there any mistakes in this? Omissions?

[invaderzim]

Colonies can also build resort bases. I'm not sure if there is a reason to though since spaceports already have a recreation center. Would the resort base create any additional tourism because of it's base type?

I put long range scanners on all my explorer ships (after I get it) - decreases the amount of time to fully explore a system.

How does this work? I thought only resource scanners could detect resources, which is what explorer ships seem to spend the most time doing when they are not in warp.

The generic starbase is also missing.  It can be built both at colonies and by construction ships.  Picky, picky... but you did ask.  [:)]

Not picky at all. I did ask for that. I originally had 'star bases' but took it out when I added monitoring stations and defensive bases, but I guess the generic star base should be included. Thanks.

You should clarify that your chart is for Empires only, not for Pirates.
Military ships don't need a branch for every ship, but if you are going to do that, you might as well order them nicely in order of AI size or as ordered under the Empire Summary Screen for clarity.
Also, since the original issue was for State vs Private, perhaps you should also sub divide the State and Private ships. or a small bubble indicatin th private sector ships (freighters, passenger, mining ships, mining stations).

Place the order of the colony and construction ship in the order of the build display.

BTW, what program are you using to create this branch chart?

An additional bit of info might make your already awesome chart just perfect. Some items will repair without a constructor ship, others require a constructor to implement repairs. (I am assuming this is prior to auto robot repair units being built.) Might you tag the items that will self repair, or the items that require a constructor to get repairs going?

Oh, second on the program used to create youe chart. Love it! Would like a copy to use.... please.

[invaderzim]

Which items repair without a constructor? I assumed all bases with a construction yard and manufacturing could fix themselves.

All good suggestions, I will make those changes, thanks.

I am using the freeware but abandoned Cayra mind mapping software. This is a link to a download site only. The devs gave up on this a few years ago. Its a shame.

[Plant]

Ah, thanks, those charts are called mindmaps.

[tylertoo]

I have added most of Plant's suggestions. I have not added elanaagain's idea of designation how a ship can be repaired because I'm not sure of those details. If someone has that info for each craft, I might try to add that. Anyone who wants this chart should be able to right-click on it and save it to your pc. Thanks for everyone's help.

Nice work, thank you.
