Stellar Construction System
Mission-Based Building Framework
Mission 1: Solar Array Construction
- Objective: Select area and build solar array
- Process:
- Select designated area for construction
- Deploy provides surgical access to build site
- Handle space collapse risks during electricity setup
- Manage character weapon/tool limitations during construction
Block Types & Components
- Solar panel blocks
- Corner/cable connector blocks
- Full union transport system for each block type
Construction Rules
- Solar panels must be completed before power activation
- Union provides power and returns control when array is operational
- Mission 2: Solar panels required for hydroponics missions
- Goal: Solar infrastructure enables subset cost & gravitational replacement
Building Requirements
Structural Integrity
- Buildings must have minimum sodium blocks (structural requirement)
- Buildings must be sealed and complete
- Shape flexibility: Construction form up to user discretion
- Example specification: Construction worth 70-80% efficiency with 6 pillars minimum
Material Flow & Transport
- Union transport system handles material movement
- Block dependency: Each building block requires full union support
- Assembly sequence: Lower condition methods must be installed first
Advanced Construction Features
Environmental Adaptation
- Space environment considerations (collapse risks, low gravity)
- Sealing requirements for atmospheric integrity
- Power dependencies for life support systems
- Modular construction allowing flexible building shapes
Mission Progression
- Phase-based construction with dependency chains
- Solar → Hydroponics → Advanced facilities progression
- Resource unlock system tied to completed infrastructure
- Complex tool management for construction activities
