i've been really brothered with the build rate for my construction factories and shipyards and the only way is to make them faster is by research
but when i build my super weapon/flagship which is the max non military engine size that i use and i tend to build to it's max and just have alot of modules
here's the specs of the modules (just the specs of the ship)

so when i was done designing it i started to built it and when i look at the year when it was gonna be finished i was not happy and abit disappointed (it was a very long time like 100 years or 30 years or something all ik it was taking along time to bloody build
so i want some way to hire and assign workers to build projects ships,buildings,etc
Ps don't edit or delete this topic just cause i put my ship specs i only did it to show you the weapons and modules and to show you why it's taking so long to build

Shipyard exponentially grow their build rate as you increase their size. What I think you are running into is a lack of workers to run the shipyard. What does your worker breakdown say?

this was on my mom's laptop but it was set to my super weapon/flag ship's size which had the top civilian engines
plus it was on my mom's laptop and not this laptop so idk i will have to check

You forgot to include the build time as stated in the design screen, that will tell you how long a current class will take to build from scratch given both your build tech speed and a fully operational shipyard. However it may well be that it does indeed take decades to build that thing. The jump drive alone must be eating huge amounts of BP. When you get into building very large ships you need to start thinking of your shipyards more as assembly stations than actual building spots. The same way real world shipyards will take delivery of various premade components is how you want to work, so build the most expensive and complex parts back in construction factories and just let the shipyards do the welding. It will cut down the build down of ships by many factors.

Exactly, you can already pre-fabricate components with construction factories to save time. There is a component category in the dropdown.

As far as I understand it, you can build ship modules in your industry and Aurora uses them from your stockpiles when you schedule a new ship. However it would be interesting to start a ship construction and build some of its modules parallel in your industry and add them during the constriction progress. I don't know about the internal algorithms, but technically I would say it is possible.
Example: Ship with 300 BP, 60 therefrom are for the Engine. So you start construction of the ship which will take 11 Month. Parallel you start constructing the engine which will take your industry 3 Month. Thereafter you can add the engine to your ship, subtracting the 60 BP from the remaining 219 BP, which will shorten the overall production time to 159 BP. If the BP would be lower than the to subtract BP you cannot add the specific module any longer.
Another alternative would be that Aurora checks in its 5-Day-Cycle if any new fitting ship module has been added to the stockpile and automatically adds it to the running construction. However, in both examples an additional track of which modules have been added needs to be included so you cannot "overmodule" your ship ;)
