How to build a structure?

To build a structure you first need a construction role ship, such as the Worker class ship sold by the Civilian Guild. This ship requires the Construction Skill to operate which can be realised by completing the basic flight training mission.

With the ship you will need to structure components present in your hold to build the structure. Structures like the Buoy only require a single component, the Buoy Prefab, other structures may require more components. You can check the structure components required by viewing the blueprint of the structure within the engineering window.

You can build a structure in any system that is not claimed around a body that is suitable, the build criteria of a blueprint will let you know of any issue.

Some structures require power to be present before they can be built, such as the Solar Collector which is a power structure, components for the Solar Collector are often available to purchase at systems that provide the trading parts service.

If you do not want to buy structure components you can refine commodities and fabricate them.

To build a macrostructure you require the macrostructure skill. Once you build a macrostructure the foundation of the structure will be placed and a faction mission created. Completing the faction mission will finish the construction of the macrostructure.
