Short Summary
Adds a large amount of exploration content and encounters, adds consumable items, new campaign layer defences, and pets
adds special functionality to select core world planets,
comes with more than 20 new buildings for your colonies (all with unique effects),
allows for unique governance types,
unlocks the ability to create detachments from your fleet on the fly and much, much more.
Long Summary
This mod is a gigantic content expansion that fits almost seamlessly into vanilla to add a multitude of new gameplay options, expanding primarily on exploration and colony gameplay.
You will encounter unique events when salvaging derelict entities, three additional types of discoverable stations, a new superstructure, campaign layer artillery that shoots you while navigating a star system, a new type of hostile terrain - and uncover surprising,
powerful relics of the past on planets in the more dangerous, unexplored parts of the sector.
Select locations in the core worlds will offer services that no others do, giving them a unique use, where they were nameless refuelling stations in the past.
Use them, or build the infrastructure needed for these features on your own colonies.
Amongst the huge variety of new buildings are some that can repair D-Mods one by one at a discount, reverse engineer ship blueprints,
assemble automatic raiding fleets, ship cargo between colonies, build new ships from old scrap hulls, and many other new features that are not available anywhere else.
Change how a colony works at a base level through governances, handing your colony over to a crime syndicate or a corporation,
and explore alternative options for vanilla industries - such as dedicated transplutonics refineries or ore mines.
The mod also adds new administrator skills, and the ability to split your fleet into multiple smaller detachments with diverse behaviour modes -
they can wait, hide, transport, escort and more!
You may also find or buy pets for your ships, and try to keep them alive in the unforgiving Persean Sector.
There is so much to list it's impossible to cover everything, just find out for yourself!
To install the mod, simply download the .zip file from the link above, unzip it in your Starsector mods directory, and enable it in the launcher.
This can NOT be added to ongoing games - and it will break saves if removed.
Campaign Features:
Fleet Detachment Ability
Create fleet detachments on the fly!
They can follow you wherever you go, but make sure they do not run out of fuel or supplies, or you might have to track back and rescue them.
If a detachment loses ships in combat, they will always be recoverable along with any cargo it had.
FAQ
| Where do I find this ability? |
| Right click your hotbar and assign it to a slot. |
| How do I use it? |
You... click the ability? Have you played the game at all?
|
| How do loadouts work? |
You specify the ships you want in the detachment, assign a cargo (make sure to balance it properly!), set the behaviour and spawn the fleet. The loadout will be saved and you do not have to set it up again, but you can change it at any time.
|
| What if some ships are no longer in my fleet? |
It will just spawn without them.
|
| What happens if my fleet runs out of supplies or fuel? |
It will go derelict. This means that it will stay in place and wait until you help it out by either merging it into your own fleet or hand over new supplies or fuel. Check the intel entry for a location.
|
| What happens if my detachment is attacked? |
It will enter combat and fight as usual. Any ships that are lost during combat will ALWAYS be recoverable as derelicts, along with the cargo and officers!
|
| Can I lose items if the Detachment gets killed? |
Only the supplies, crew and fuel. Everything else will be recoverable along with the ships.
|
| Can detachments go into hyperspace? |
Yeah. Just make sure it has enough fuel loaded.
|
| How does transport work? |
You select a planet to transport to, give the detachment enough fuel and supplies, and send it off. It will head to the planet, deliver the cargo, then store itself in the local storage along with all ships in the detachment. It will not return to you.
|
| Can Detachments be killed while they are out of sight? |
Detachments that are hiding will not be attacked (it's hiding, after all!), other behaviour modes are fair game - however, hostile fleets are more likely to ignore detachments than not. This is still a game and should be fun, so you are unlikely to lose a detachment while it is out of sight.
|
| Can I just split off my entire fleet and fly around in a cargo pod? |
TONiGht oN SeCToR GeAR! - No.

Artillery
These are my gift to you, dear player, testament to my deep love and appreciation for the community and their endless flood of dumb questions. Now please die.
FAQ
| Can I build my own artillery? |
| You can reconstruct them by defeating one and then establishing a colony where it was. |
| But can I build it wherever I want? |
| No. They are OP and break the NPC fleet AI, which is Very Bad when combined with a story line. You can't build them because they invalidate the game on a conceptual level, so please stop asking. |
| How do I defeat these? |
| Dock with them anywhere, they'll show the relevant dialogue. |
| Help, I keep getting killed! |
| That is called a skill issue and I can't really help with it. |
Pets
Add pets to your ships! These critters will live on your boats and play with crew members. There are 30+ different kinds, from common to rare. Some can be bought, some can be found from derelict pet stations, and some can only be found via special interactions.
Pets have to be fed (from cargo, automatically), or they will starve, and can become casualties during combat, so take care.
Hamsters will just die. They don't really live long enough to start starving.
Find a pet center to store, buy, euthanize and manage your pets. It's a small station orbiting a planet which allows convenient access if you are not on the best terms.

Restoration Docks
Restore your broken hulls in the core worlds!
It takes some time, but it's up to 60% cheaper than on-the-fly restoration and will remove all those pesky D-Mods.
Depending on the AI core the polity has installed, this can even remove a single D-mod at a time - at no cost penalty!

Salvage Yards
Move specific D-Mods between similar ships! Build new ships for yourself without a colony or a pesky contract! All it takes for pristine ships are some rare components which drop from hard combat or [REDACTED] enemies, and you are good to go!
Costs scale with reputation. You can also reduce costs by up to 50% by throwing in some Ship Components at a 120% base price rate - it's a steal!
If the yards have too little capacity to produce what you want, try destroying some fleets in the system.

Exploration Content:
Derelict Industries
Technologies lost to time and [REDACTED], waiting to be discovered.
Look for it in the dangerous parts of the sector and reclaim the work of your forebearers.
Ruined Infrastructure
Not all Ruins are useless after scouring them for valuables!
Salvage Interactions
A large variety of additional interactions when salvaging stations, planets and other discoverables.
Each with unique effects, and enough variation to keep you on your toes!
Interactions are likely to happen more often if the theme is right.
You won't find a lot of working technology on a mining station, but that changes for something like an Orbital Laboratory.
Themed Derelict Stations
Three new derelict stations, seeded over the sector. Each has a unique drop pool, and salvage interactions you are unlikely to get elsewhere.
Spawns depending on existing derelict stations - so even a larger sector will not have a shortage.
Colony Buildings:
Colony Governments
Underworld
 | A cartel of ruthless criminal families rule this polity with an iron fist. Petty decisions are made by the local bosses on a whim, and individual fortune can change quicker than credsticks change hands in one of the countless gambling dens. Everything can be made possible by the ever-changing status quo - everything, except personal safety.
Places a criminal cartel in power of the planet, decreasing income at high stability, and increasing it at low stability. Collects (in)voluntary "donations" from traders visiting the system.
|
Rural Polity
 | The people of this polity live in small, distributed villages instead of central cities. Most commodities are locally sourced, if only out of necessity and the lacking infrastructure. Life is much simpler and less convenient than on planets with equivalent population numbers, yet preferred by many due to the general state of the sector. Disturbing this environment with dirty industry will cause severe protests.
Create distributed villages instead of cities, increasing population growth and stability. Farming provides supplies and has increased output. Industrial buildings have increased upkeep and reduce stability, rural buildings increase it instead.
|
Hidden Arcology
  | Burrowed deep below the surface lies a massive network of connected subterran hubs, housing the majority of the population and industry of this planet. The problems usually associated with atmospheric exposure are not present here, the cities protected by rock or water. Yet few people wish to stay in an environment as artificial as this, deprived of their chance to gaze at distant suns and living out their lives in damp, dark, safety.
Build a sub-surface arcology to house the population. Negates most surface hazard conditions, increases the defensive capabilites, lower growth and accesibility, and reduces industry output due to the constricted space.
|
Monastic Order
 | Monastery-cities dot the mountains and plains of this planet, each ruled by a sect with unique alignment and values, in turn creating a shifting political landscape usually seen only with underdeveloped societies. The people living here are hardy, tend to have combat experience, quickly adapt to change and are strict in their values and belief - making them ideal marines.
Establish monastic sects to govern the population. Halves positive income and military building upkeep, and prevents any luddic path activity. The stability of this planet can not fall below 3 or exceed 7, the maximum population is limited at size 5, and marines gain experience while stationed here. The many sects sometimes provide free ships as tithes.
|
Corporate Governance
 | Massive neon-lit corporate arcologies tower over the slums of the more fortunate, for anyone living under corporate contractorship is considered no better than a slave. Management lives in glitz and glamour, hovercars shooting over gray worker districts as if to remind of what is possible if only you put in enough work. There is no better place to earn money than here - and no better place to lose everything you once stood for.
Leave the governance of this planet to local megacorps. This causes stability to depend on income - the more income, the higher the stability. It also increases earnings, limits the time a building can be disrupted, and unlocks all industry slots. However, military installations have massively increased costs, the working conditions cause negative base growth, and the colony can shrink in size.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| Right-Click the population building and select "change governance", then select your preferred version. The change is immediate. |
| Are there limitations? |
A governance can only be selected at population size 3 and will become permanent after 7 days. Some governances only develop their full effects after becoming permanent.
|
| Can I change the governance after it becomes permanent? |
| No. |
| The monastic orders give ships, right? How does that work? |
| Each month, they generate 2 DP of "budget" and store it, then roll a 30% chance to build any ship in your arsenal that is cheaper than the stored budget. If it doesn't build anything, it'll just roll again next month. This means that you'll get better ships the longer you wait. |
| What's the "Hand-built" Hullmod that the ships from the monastery have? |
| What it says on the tin. These are hand built, and might be really bad, or really good. It's up to chance what effects the hand-built hullmod has. |
| Underworld collects what tithes? What's that mean? |
| Underworld extorts fleets visiting your system, making them give you part of their cargo. That share goes into the local storage. |
| Why did you even make these? |
| Roleplay, mostly. |
Variable Assembler
 | A small autonomous production line with output and input depending entirely on a Variable Production Chip, which can be found in the ruins of former civilization.
Delivers some of the produced commodity to the local storage at the end of each month, amount depending on VPC type and colony size.
This building is a structure and does not require an industry slot – which severely restricts output.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| You find a VPC anywhere you can find a Nanoforge, and install it in this structure. It will deposit a part of the total output into your cargo storage every month. |
| Can I set this to deliver to the gathering point? |
Yes. Check settings.json for the option to do so. Just note that there is a structure called “Courier Port”, which allows in-universe cargo shipments between colonies – and is more immersive.
|
| Why do skills not work on this? |
| Because it is a structure, and the export is capped at 3 economy units. It would be OP otherwise. Upgrade to the Variable Manufactory if you want a full industry. |
Variable Manufactory
 | Upgradeable to from Variable Assembler
A marvel of autonomous variable production - a full size industrial compound with output and input depending entirely on a Variable Production Chip, which can be found in the ruins of former civilization.
Delivers a large amount of the produced commodity to the local storage at the end of each month, amount depending on VPC type and colony size – it is a direct upgrade over the Variable Assembler, at the cost of an industry slot.
This requires an industry slot.
|
Commodity Forge
 | This crude but effective hack of a variable assembler allows for rapid, high volume commodity production. Once installed, a Variable Production Chip becomes locked to this structure after a few days and is destroyed after a while.
Delivers a huge amount of commodities to the local storage, amount depending on VPC type and colony size.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| Place a VPC into this Structure. It will disassemble it over three months, and deliver a rather sizeable amount of commodities to the local storage. |
| I can’t change the VPC? |
The chip is locked to the structure after 7 days of operation to avoid cheesing it. No dice, mate.
|
| It destroys the installed VPC? How is this ever worth it? |
VPCs are rather common, especially the normal variant. You might have three or four copies lying around – remember, a game does not last forever, and they are gathering dust in your dragon hoard. The Commodity Forge has superior output over even the Manufactory, so consider just burning those useless chips.
|
| What is the “Industrial Supply Store”? |
The Commodity Forge can pull VPCs to disassemble from this storage. If you place them into that storage, the structure will pull them out of it to use, one after another. Note that this storage is shared with other buildings in this mod, the items you can deposit here are adjusted depending on the local buildings.
|
| Can I set this to deliver to the gathering point? |
Yes. Check settings.json for the option to do so. Just note that there is a structure called “Courier Port”, which allows in-universe cargo shipments between colonies – and is more immersive.
|
Military Relays
 | These hidden communications antennae enable instant contact and data transfer with every aligned entity in the system. Increases local fleet size depending on the largest fleet size available between all in-system colonies with a communications relay.
A Military Base or a high Command on one of your colonies in the star system is required to build this. Once completed, the Relay takes the largest fleet size of all planets in the star system that have a Military Relay, and applies part of it to this planet.
While there is no other military installation (Patrol HQ, Military Base, High Command) on the planet, the Relay acts as a mini-military base - better than a Patrol HQ, worse than an actual base. It will spawn patrols and have increased build cost and upkeep.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| The relay checks which planets are owned by you and get the highest fleet size of any planet with a relay int his star system. It then applies a part of that fleet size to the planet it is built on. |
| The relay ignores my 300% fleet size planet!? |
| Only in-system planets with a relay are looked at when checking for highest fleet size. Build one over there as well, it's what this structure is for. |
| How does the bonus get calculated? |
The applied fleet size is calculated as follows, valid for all planets in a star system:
Military base: 20% of highest fleet size applied
High command: 35% of highest fleet size applied
High command with alpha core: 40% of highest fleet size applied
It then applies part of that highest fleet size to all planets with a relay, excluding the planet with the highest fleet size. (This is a flat bonus, so any multipliers you have apply to it – but the total will never exceed the highest total in the network, as the bonus does adjust itself accordingly.)
|
| Do I need a Military Base/High Command on every planet? |
Nope! You only need one base or high command in the solar system.
|
| Does it matter on which planet I build the military base/ High Command? |
| Nope! The relay looks only for the largest in-system fleet size. The location of the base is not relevant. |
| How does this act as a mini-military base? |
It will spawn patrol fleets like a normal patrol HQ, amount scaling with colony and fleet size. If you have sufficient fleet size and a large enough colony, it will be between a base and a patrol HQ in effectiveness.
|
| Does this mean it replaces all other military? |
Nope! It will be enough for basic defence, but a true military base is still a lot better. It only takes one slot though, instead of 2 (base + relay).
|
| This is expensive as ***?!? |
It has doubled cost and upkeep while you have no patrol HQ/Military Base/High Command on the same planet, since it spawns fleets instead of them.
|
| Will it keep spawning fleets when I build a Patrol HQ? |
Nope. Only works as defence while there is no other vanilla defence building present.
|
Interstellar Relay
 | A militarized version of the communications relay, allows fast data transfer between allied star systems while maintaining high security. Due to the danger that hyperwave pulsing poses to human health these stations are usually crewed by the old, the disgraced, or anyone with little perspective.
Star systems with an Interstellar Relay can share fleet sizes for the military relay effect between them.
This works as Makeshift Communications Relay without needing, or taking, a stable location.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How do I build this? |
| Upgrade an existing military relay. |
| How does this work? |
| This works exactly like the Military Relay, but it also looks at planets in other systems that have an Interstellar Relay when looking for the largest fleet size. |
| I don't get it. |
| You got a star system with a military relay. It has a 300% fleet size planet. You have a second star system with one 150%, and two 30% planets. All of them have Military Relays. Build an Interstellar relay in both star systems, and that 300% planet will count as if it was in the second star system. |
| Still don't get it? |
Here is an image to explain |
| What do you mean with "Makeshift Communications Relay? |
| This works like that thing you can build at a stable location that makes market info appear and gives +1 stability to all colonies in the system. Yeah, it's cool, I know. |
| Does this also work as mini-military base? |
| Yes. It is not any better than the relay though - exactly the same values. If you want true defence, you NEED a military base. |
Centralization Bureau
 | Specialized infrastructure to govern system wide commodity fabrication, transport and storage.
This looks for duplicate industries on your colonies in the star system and increases production output for the buildings on the planet it is installed on.
If you had, for instance, 3 planets, and all three had a fuel production, this building would increase the output of the fuel production on the planet it is built on by 2.
Does not require an industry slot, can only have one in the star system.
|
Salvage Yards
 | Massive dumps for spaceship parts gathered throughout the system and brought here. Repurposing the remains of spacecraft can boost production, but will inevitably decrease ship quality if used as sole source for hulls. Main Exporter for Starship Parts.
This industry can increase the production budget even if heavy industry is present on the planet, but requires a steady stream of new wrecks, produced by destroying ships in the star system, by raids, bombings, incursions, pirate activity, or manually feeding weapons to the industrial supply store.
It also allows you to move specific D-mods between similar ships, and can produce ships for you outside of your normal production.
The Salvage Units you gather by creating wrecks will decay each month.
Requires an industry slot, can only have one in the star system.
|
FAQ
| Why would I need this? |
| The production budget, which allows you to build ships, is determined by the highest ship hull output of a planet. Building, for instance, Modular Fabricators (from Shadowyards) next to heavy industry will not increase it due to the lower output of ModFabs. The Salvage Yards add their output to the existing heavy industry, and therefore increase production budget by the full ship hull export amount even if installed on the same planet. |
| I still don't get it. |
| (Example) Heavy Industry: Output of 5 ship hulls = Production Budget of 125.000 credits. If you have modular fabricator on the same planet (Output of 3 ship hulls) the production budget stays 125.000 credits (Budget is calculated with the largest planetary export!). If you have salvage yards on the same planet the production budget is increased by 25.000 credits for every ship hull it exports, in addition to the 125.000 provided by the heavy industry (example: Salvage yards: 3 Hulls, Heavy Industry : 5 Hulls, Budget: 200.000). |
| But it doesn't export anything other than some metal? |
| The salvage yards export ship hulls, components and metals depending on the available Salvage Points. If you are not seeing any ship hull exports, maybe check the export values of your local heavy industry - it adds to them! |
| It *** my ship quality! |
| In Vanilla Starsector, the faction wide quality is determined by the largest exporter of hulls. Salvage Yards come with a -20 quality penalty if they are the only exporter of hulls on the planet, and if they are the largest hull producer in your faction, the quality will tank. |
| So how do I fix that!? |
| Reading the tooltip generally helps. Building the yards alongside another hull exorter (Heavy industry, Orbital works, Modular fabricators...) will remove the quality penalty. Alternatively, make sure you have another planet with a higher export than the yards. |
| How do I get Salvage Units? |
| You can gather Salvage Units by destroying ships during combat in the star system - the larger the destroyed ship, the more salvage units you get. Of course, it also counts if your patrol fleets destroy a hostile fleet, or get themselves destroyed. Raids, Invasions or any other hostile incursion will provide Salvage Units depending on if they failed and how large the hostile fleets were (if you were not present to defend the system). Pirate activity in the system generates a daily flat amount of units. Adding weapons to the industrial Supply Store also generates SU. |
| I don't understand Salvage Units decay. |
| Salvage Units decay by 50% each month, or 30% if you have a gamma core installed. This means: you have 100 Units this month - next month, you will have 50 Units, or 70 with a gamma core. |
| Will metals also be exported like ship hulls even if I have refining with more output? |
| No. The parallel export for ship hulls only works to increase production budget, not to make adjacent production possible. |
| Do debris fields in my system count? |
| Nope. Not yet, anyways - maybe in the future. |
| What is the “Industrial Supply Store”? |
The Salvage Yards can pull Weapons to disassemble from this storage. If you place them into that storage, the structure will pull them out of it to use, up to a monthly maximum based on colony size, and convert them into salvage units (which translates into increased exports). Note that this storage is shared with other buildings in this mod, the items you can deposit here are adjusted depending on the local buildings.
|
Supercomputer
 | Built deep into the earth, these massive supercomputing units use shackled AI to facilitate their work, causing their cores to burn out. The Hegemony keeps a close eye on all these facilities, but there is no known instance of one ever becoming self aware.
Increases the income of all colonies in the star system, stacking with diminished returns (building two will not get twice the effect) while consuming cores from the Industrial Supply Store to function.
The effect of this is dependent on the planet conditions- temperate planets might be too hot to get decent results, this is best built in cold environments.
Requires an industry slot.
|
Embassy
 | Embassies have existed ever since humans first formed countries - the need to represent oneself to another party is present even in the unstable political climate of the Persean Sector.
This structure improves relations with a faction each month, but increases any negative reputation changes by 50%.
The faction is dependent on the Ambassador in office, which you must hire from a larger faction planet and transport to your Embassy. Make sure to get them there in good time, and without losing or killing them, as that will have consequences.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How do I get an Ambassador? |
| You can find them on any size 5+ planet of a faction in the comm panel. |
| How do I install the Ambassador? |
| You will receive an item to your cargo when you hire an Ambassador, just install it in a finished Embassy. |
| I can’t uninstall the item anymore!? |
| Removing an Ambassador from office is not something that can be done without consequence. Check the comm relay on your planet and ask the Ambassador to vacate office. |
| I was warned that the Ambassador will return home if I do not install him soon? |
| Would you like to spend months on a random ship with a dodgy crew asking for favours and eyeing your watch? |
| The game told me the Ambassador was compromised. |
| This happens when the Faction Agents lose track of the Ambassador. Wherever you put the poor guy, they could not follow. (Plugin tracking failed – this should not happen. Let me know where you put it so I can adjust the code.) |
| My reputation does not increase past 35? |
| The passive monthly increase is limited to 35, or 50 with a beta core. The Ambassador/Embassy cannot increase it past this. |
| The embassy lowered my reputation instead of increasing it!? |
| The embassy increases all negative rep changes with the faction by 1.5. Since it only reports a cumulative change at month end, if that negative change is high enough, you might see negative total changes. Example: Embassy base change +10 (total: +10), You got caught smuggling: -10 (-5, total: +5), you insulted a contacts mother: -20 (-10, total: -5), which will cause the embassy to reduce your rep by -5 at month end. |
| I didn't do anything and it still gave me a penalty! |
| Half of the penalty of the prior month will carry over into the next one if you *** up hard enough (had a net negative change for embassy relations in the prior month), and half of that into the next, and so on, rounded down (-5/-2/-1/0). |
| The faction I want to play with is not supported. Will this still work? |
| The mod will work, and all faction mods, supported or not, are compatible. "Not supported" just means that Ambassadors will not spawn on planets of the faction, and you can therefore not hire them. Bug the mod authors to give me permission to add them, if you want them to work with this. |
| I want to add a faction to the whitelist! |
| Go to “Industrial.Evolution\data\config\indEvo\embassy_whitelist.csv” and just add the faction id to the list. It’s dead simple. |

Senate
 | A senate is the political heart of a star system. Representatives of every planet meet here, deciding legislature, policies and treaties. It enables a more direct approach to planetary law, handling all the small issues that come with rapid regulation changes.
This structure allows you to issue Edicts on your colonies. Edicts are policies with a minimum runtime and very positive effects – but they always come with a drawback. Sometimes, the best Edict might be no Edict.
Does not require an industry slot, can only have one in the star system.
|
Edicts
| Forced Labour |
| Massively reduces the upkeep of all buildings, but causes a reduction in colony growth and temporary unrest. |
| Forced Relocation |
| Relocates parts of the populace to other colonies in this star system, causing rapid growth on them, and some unrest. Effect depending on population size. |
| Industrial Incentives |
| Increases all industry output by 1, doubles upkeep. |
| Labour Restrictions |
| Increases stability, decreases all industry output. |
| Growth Reinvestment |
| Invests income from this market over 20.000 credits into growth incentives, with a 25% bonus. Excess income over the incentive limit is refunded. |
| Subpopulation Cleansing |
| Removes any subpopulations on this planet. Time required and unrest caused by this depend on population size, reduces income for the duration. |
| Wartime Lockdown |
| Massively increases ground defence rating, fleet size and stability – with a 70% industry output reduction. Lasts 3 months and causes unrest after it ends. |
| Customs Control |
| Increases accessibility of this planet for every other colony in the system. Reduces accessibility for all other colonies. |
| Hard Deadlines |
| Increases Production budget and local ship hull output, but decreases ship quality. |
FAQ
| How do I enact an Edict? |
| You can choose which edict to implement on any planet in a star system with a functional Senate. The menu point is in the planetary main menu. |
| How do I remove an Edict? |
| Removing an edict is done the same way they are implemented – from the main planetary menu. Be aware that edicts have a minimum runtime, removing it before this has passed will cause unrest. |
| Some options are greyed out? |
| Check the tooltip in the lower right corner as to what you might be missing to unlock the Edict. |
Restoration Docks
 | Dry docks and facilities to repair damaged starships, bustling with activity - there is always the next wreck to restore for a client too attached to a pile of scrap to see reason.
Slowly removes D-Mods from ships placed into its special storage, at a massive discount compared to fast restoration.
AI Cores change how this Structure behaves.

| This structure adds a “Storage” to the colony, in which you can place ships with D-Mods. They will then get repaired on month end. |
| How much does it cost? |
| The cost of removing a D-Mod is 50% of what it costs in vanilla, calculated per D-Mod. If you are using restoration docks of a foreign faction, there is an additional fee per D-Mod on top, depending on your standing. |
| So this is more expensive than Vanilla? |
| Nope. If a ship has 4 D-Mods, and the docks remove one, you pay 12,5% of the vanilla restoration costs. If the dock removes all 4, it's 50% - this works even if you move the ship to another dock in-between, as the game remembers how many D-Mods your ship initially had. |
| Can I choose which D-Mod to remove? |
| No. Removal is random, and will stay random. The only way to influence the behaviour of this structure is via AI cores. |
| How does this work under another factions control? |
| If a Restoration Dock is under another factions’ control, it will perform just like a regular one – but you will have to pay a fee depending on hull size, per removed D-Mod. |
| How does the fee work? |
| If under foreign faction control, You will have to pay a fee depending on your standing with that faction and the hull size. This can get expensive, so consider building your own docks. |
| What if I become hostile to a faction while they have my ships? |
| The storage does not vanish or become inaccessible – so you can still retrieve you hulls, if you manage to dock with the planet. No repairs will be performed while hostile – except by the Pirates, which don’t care and will work as long as you got the credits. |

Privateer Base
 | The Privateer Base allows the shady part of your populace to live out their chosen way of life in a semi-legal way, which can net you a tidy profit on what would otherwise be a nuisance.
It will also cause a pirate subpopulation to appear on your planet, which has effects depending on your standing with the Pirates.
This will stage raids on hostile star systems and bring back spoils of war depending on the industrialisation of the raided planets. Output decays after some time if no new material is "liberated".
Requires 2 industry slots, can only have two in the star system.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| You build it. It raids people you don’t like. If only life was always this simple. |
| Seriously though, how does this work? |
| Every month, the Industry chooses a random faction you are hostile to, and checks the star systems where the faction is present. It then evaluates which system has the best spoils and where a raid is most likely to succeed and chooses the best location for a raid. |
| How is raid strength calculated? |
| Raid strength depends on colony size, colony fleet size and AI core effects. |
| Does this mean it can cause a system to decivilize? |
| No. During and for a time after a raid, the system gets blocked for subsequent/other raids. This block is shared between all Privateer bases and allows a system to regenerate. |
| What star systems can be targeted? |
| Any system with a hostile colony that is part of the sector economy. This does not include those pesky pirate, pather, or modded temporary raid stations. |
| Do I get stuff? |
| Your privateers bring back loot depending on what they raided. On planets without notable industrialization, you might only get a few weapons and maybe a fighter LPC, but if they raid a military base or heavy industries there is a good chance for blueprints. |
| I can't find the loot they brought back? |
| Loot is delivered to your production gathering point on completion of the raid. Since your storage is probably a massive dumpster filled with stuff you "might need in the future", finding what they brought back could be hard. Consider cleaning your house. |
| Two industry slots? Why would this ever be worth it? |
| Exports for this are uncapped. A size 4 colony with a successful Privateer base can export 10 units of every single commodity in the game, provided your raiders bring that much back. It can make a small colony instantly profitable, if you help them a bit on a raid. |
| What do you mean with “output decay”? |
| The stuff your privateers took from other planets is being sold off. The output, or commodity export, of this industry therefore gets less and less over time, unless new material is acquired. |
Academy
 | The Academy is a centre of education, training a new generation of the sectors' best and brightest to take over the burdens of their forefathers - or just to die in some pointless war.
This structure increases the system-wide officer quality, officer quantity for defence fleets assembled on this planet, can store and train both administrators and officers and will massively increase the chance of hireable persons appearing here.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How do I access the Academy? |
| Just select “Visit the Academy” from the planetary main menu. If you also have a senate in the star system, you can find the menu point under “Colony Options”; also in the planetary main menu. |
| How does officer Personality training work? |
| You simply select “Officer Personality Training” from the Academy menu, choose your officer, and select the training direction. After the required time has passed, the officer will have their personality changed and is moved to storage, where you can pick them up again. |
| What are the prerequisites for officer training? |
| The academy can only change the personality of an officer once (Twice with an Alpha core) – the officer will not be available for selection after that. |
| How does Administrator training work? |
| Select “Administrator Training” from the Academy menu, and choose your Admin. After the required time has passed, the officer will acquire a new skill at level 3 and is moved to storage, where you can pick them up again. |
| What are the prerequisites for Admin training? |
| The academy can only increase the skills of an Administrator until they have a total of 2 skills (like Vanilla) – the Admin will not be available for selection if he has 2 skills already. |
| Officer/Administrator Storage? |
| You can store personnel you don’t need at the academy. Stored officers do not count towards your limit and will cost you the same as if they were in your fleet without being assigned. You can retrieve them at any time if you have the capacity. |
| The Academy under AI control |
| The Academy works exactly the same under foreign faction control – but training and storage will cost a fee, and you cannot access the facilities while hostile to the faction – so be careful who you leave your people with. |
| Where are the Academies in the Core worlds? |
| The three Academies are in Galatia, Hybrasil – Eochu Bres, and Westenesse - Fikenhild. |
Requisitions Center
 | Resembling an office rather than a market, the Requisitions Center is an institution frequented by picky ship captains, collectors and people looking for specific weapon imports.
Creates a market selling weapons from factions you have good relations with. An Embassy with an active Ambassador on the same planet will cause the Center to source only from that faction. This can easily source specific rare and large weapons.
AI cores change how this Structure operates.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| This will source weapons from factions you are at minimum +35 reputation with. The higher your Reputation, the better and rarer weapons it will source. |
| And if I am at high standing with multiple factions? |
You will get a mixed inventory of weapons to choose from, the more rep, the more weapons of that faction.
|
| Why is the inventory empty?!? |
Because you are a dirty warmonger and have no friends. Build a Privateer Base instead.
|
| X weapon never shows up for sale! |
The faction might not know their own weapons, it is blacklisted from sale, or a system weapon.
|
| I want weapons of X faction! |
Build an Embassy and install an Ambassador of that faction, and it’ll only source from that specific faction. Or use an Alpha core and stockpile the specific weapons you don’t want.
|
| I have an Embassy, but want weapons of another specific faction? |
Switch out the Ambassador, or use a Gamma core and start some wars until the sourcing pool is smaller.
|
| Where can I find this in the Core Worlds? |
| Eos Exodus - Baetis |
Engineering Hub
 | As the sector is decaying in knowledge, an institution specialized in the disassembly of functional spacecraft is a rare sight, and can only be afforded by the rich or the desperate.
Reverse engineer ships and turn them into blueprints after enough hulls have been disassembled. You have to overwrite a blueprint of matching hull size.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| Place ship hulls into the Reverse Engineering Storage. The Hub will pull them in for disassembly, awarding progress for every hull depending on size and D-Mods. |
| Why do I only get so little progress per hull? |
D-Mods severely impact the progress you gain, especially on smaller hulls. Consider restoring them before disassembly.
|
| I can’t reverse engineer the ship I want! |
This system is opt-in from fellow mod authors – they have to add a whitelist to their mods for their ships to become accessible. If this is not done, they are locked out from reverse engineering. You can leave a respectful message in their threads, but don’t spam them!
|
| The mod author told me to go fork myself! |
I did warn you. However, you can add their ships to the local whitelist under “Industrial.Evolution\data\config\indEvo\reverse_engineering_whitelist.csv”.
|
| The ship I Reverse Engineered does not spawn in defence fleets? |
It might be missing an entry in default_ship_roles.json. That’s on the faction mod author, not on me. If you added that ship to the whitelist yourself, you should also add it to the local IndEvo default_ship_roles.json – otherwise, let the mod author know.
|
| I want to reverse Engineer the IBB/HVB/Unique Ship! |
These are prohibited, and it’s hardcoded. No, I won’t change that.
|
| Tiandong ships don’t get downloaded to blueprints? |
Tiandong ships need appropriately sized Tiandong retrofit templates.
|
| What is the “Industrial Supply Store”? |
The Engineering Hub can pull Blueprints to overwrite from this storage. If you place them there, the structure will pull them out of it to use, choosing any blueprint with matching hull size to overwrite, but prioritizing whatever is installed into the industry directly. Note that this storage is shared with other buildings in this mod, the items you can deposit here are adjusted depending on the local buildings.
|
Courier Port
 | Privatized docking facilities allow for a much more direct approach to shipping - and have the distinct advantage of circumventing nosy government officials.
Ship Cargo between any two planets. Can target specific storage for deliveries (Resupply a Supercomputer, Ships to/from Restoration Docks...), can take from your stockpile and deliver somewhere else, and offers recurrent shipments.
Does not require an industry slot.
|
FAQ
| How does this work? |
| Choose the option “Visit the Courier Port” in the planetary main menu (Or the colony options). Choose origin, destination, cargo and contract options – then confirm to watch your very own shipping fleets do your busywork. |
| Can this lose my items somehow? |
Not anymore. With version 3.0.a, the port has been reworked and will no longer lose anything you want to ship, even if the courier fleet or all planets on the contract are gone.
|
| I can’t find the option? |
The local Courier Port might be disrupted, not finished building, gone for whatever reason, or the colony does not belong to you. Otherwise, you will find it in the planetary main menu.
|
| How do recurrent shipments work? |
The courier port will try to take the exact amounts of what you specified from storage, and ship them to where you told it to. If you don’t have enough of the target quantity in cargo, it will do a partial shipment – and just ship what it can find.
|
| Will recurrent shipments always cost the same? |
No – cost for a shipment is calculated before dispatch. If you only have a partial shipment, it will only bill you the partial amounts.
|
| Can this ship to/from my fleet? |
| No. |
| I can’t ship to colony XY! |
Does it have a spaceport? Is that spaceport functional? Does it have a place you could possibly store things in? If all of these are yes, it’s a bug, please report it.
|
| I can’t ship from colony XY! |
Does it have a spaceport? Is that spaceport functional? Do you have a storage anywhere that could take the stuff that is stored there? Is the faction the planet belongs to not hostile to you? If all of these are yes, it’s a bug, please report it.
|
| My contract got deactivated? |
This happens if there is something wrong with the contract. Check the contract list, it will tell you what the problem is.
|
| I don’t have any money for shipments? |
Costs are billed via Industry Upkeep. If you can’t afford your own shipments, consider deactivating or cancelling some shipments – otherwise, I hope you like debt.
|
| Why is this so expensive? |
It’s only expensive if you try shipping large quantities over a long way. No one will want to brave deep hyperspace for you if you don’t pay them properly. You can set up colonies as waystations, as shipping costs scale exponentially with distance.

Additional Information:
Mod integration – for mod authors
This section contains spoilers for mod content. Some of the features here need integration with other mods to work properly. If you are not a mod author, the following is not relevant for you.
All Industrial.Evolution cross-mod features are
opt-in and work off whitelists. This means that if you want a feature to
not work, you don't have to do anything.
If you wish to opt in for them, please fill out the lists and place them into:
yourModName/data/config/indEvo/
Embassy/Ambassadors
If you want your faction supported by the Embassy system, you can:
- Throw me a message or pm with your faction ID, I’ll add it (2-6 month wait).
- OR Set the memory key “$deconomics_ambAllowed_factionID” to true.
- OR Add your faction id to a whitelist in your mod under YourMod\data\config\indEvo\embassy_whitelist.csv
You can also recall all active Ambassadors for your faction, and stop new ones from spawning, by setting the memory key “$deconomics_ambAllowed_factionID” to false at any point in the game.
Reverse Engineering
Take multiple ship hulls and make them into blueprints.
Requires multiple pristine ship hulls and a blueprint of the same size (gets overwritten) to reverse engineer a ship. This does not make the game easier and does not allow for easy cherry picking.Ships that would break the game if the player could build them, or ships that are unique, or not available for lore reasons (Templars...), should
not be whitelisted. Does not work with duplicated ships.
Make sure you have an entry in default_ship_roles.json for anything you whitelist here.
Add the ship ids you wish to
allow to the
whitelist.
Skins are allowed if the base version is allowed, IBBs/HVBs are blacklisted by default and can not be whitelisted.
Derelict Industries
Allows for true ship duplication (have one ship > space magic > have two ships).
Players will not be able to get this in every playthrough, and getting a reliable duplication chain is hard (requires 3 randomly seeded industries you have to find, restore and keep running, and blank blueprint templates that you also have to find and restore).
It also applies a bunch of D-Mods, and duplicated ships can no longer be duplicated themselves.I am asking, on a personal note, to please allow as much as possible here. Even the most complex hulls can be duplicated by scanning/printing/space magic, and they will have enough problems after that to not break anything balancewise.
Add the ship ids you wish to
allow to the
whitelist.
Skins are allowed if the base version is allowed, IBBs/HVBs are blacklisted by default and can not be whitelisted.
