I wanted to see if there was a way to use the repair bay as a makeshift factory and it seems there is:
Excuse me. I do not understand exactly what I see. Are you using a mod? I don't understand how you save the current state of the ship, but the bay generates it completely. I like the idea. I think there should be a bay that can be crafted from level 2 or 3 and blueprints can be unlocked according to the level of the character or the unlocked devices in the tech tree. Disculpame. No entiendo exactamente lo que veo. Estas usando un mod? No entiendo como guardas el estado actual de la nave, pero la bahía lo genera por completo. Me gusta la idea. Creo que debería haber una bahía que pueda fabricarse desde el nivel 2 o 3 y ser posible ir desbloqueado blueprints de acuerdo al nivel del personaje o a los dispositivos desbloqueados del árbol tecnológico.
No mod just using the mechanics of the game to trick the game into thinking the ship i spawned was a different ship, it is really close to how you can change one ship to another by moving the files around. First step i did was spawn the ship i wanted the block to "make" for me and then i took everything off except the core and cockpit because as far i can tell those two pieces have to be exactly the same on both the ship you want and the "frame" of the ship to be made into the one you want. i do need to test it more tho but so far if they are not the same those two blocks will fudge up the blueprint and it wont do it correctly. Next step is to find both the frame and the ship you want to builds ids and then while the game is still running and your your in game alt tab out and find your save file, then go into the shared folder and find the two folders that match your ships ids and copy the three files from the target ships folder in your save file into the folder of the frame ship. Next just use the repair console with the repair to template option, you may have to change between just repair and repair to template to get it to recognize that it changed though. sometimes i did sometimes not. I don't know if i can recommend it though because it involves changing files while the game is running and loaded which is not something you usually want to do. At the very least if you try this make a backup of your save before you do. Yea honestly ive no idea why this wasn't just built into the repair bays function from the get go but the im not a game dev so it might be pretty hard for all i know.
Second test, in this one you can see the sort of thing that happens if the blocks are misplaced or are not apart of the ship you wanna build. I also tested it with a much more complicated workshop ship.
The repair bay is not very old. It was not part of the game in version 6 and 7. La bahía de reparación no es muy antigua. No era parte del juego en la versión 6 y 7.
