A spacecraft factory is used to produce spacecraft designed in a design studio and saved to a blank disk.

It can only be built adjacent to a road slab, even if the spacecraft it is going to produce must spawn in space.

Spacecraft Production

Any spacecraft produced via fetching resources and running the process is subsidized. Subsidized spacecraft that are destroyed do not respawn, unlike private vessels. A subsidized vessel will spawn on a slab if it meets the size requirements to do so. If the spacecraft is larger than a slab, it will instead spawn in space near a space station (if applicable).

If you buy the spacecraft using the option at the bottom of the labor tab, it will spawn the spacecraft in space with no fuel and a full capacitor regardless of spacecraft size. you will need to either land the ship, or move to a nearby space station in order to buy fuel. Purchased spacecraft are considered to be private ships or stations. Private ships and stations will respawn when destroyed (with 0% structure) at the location they are spawn tied to unless they have no captain or officers on board.

Officer

The spacecraft factory is one of the three buildings required for an officer to spawn. The other two are an university and a airport terminal.
