Flying Factories
Universe-Scale Fabrication
a WillNY4 Galaxy Mod
Build factories anywhere in Starfield — even on your ship.
Flying Factories expands Starfield's outpost and manufacturing systems into a flexible, universe-scale fabrication network. Your production is no longer tied to one terrain location, one biome, or one outpost.
Main Features
- Build Smart Extractors anywhere and harvest all of a planet or moon's inorganic resources from a single outpost.
- Build Organic Amplifiers to connect Greenhouses and Animal Husbandry buildings to your network.
- Place Smart Containers that automatically connect with Smart Extractors and Smart Fabricators.
- Use Smart Fabricators to manufacture 123 items, including:
- X-Tech
- Ammo
- Throwables
- Meds
- Chems
- Standard Components
- Smart Extractors, Smart Containers, and Smart Fabricators can all be placed in different locations.
- Build fully functioning flying factories on ships.
- Includes special Smart Extractors for:
- Aqueous Hematite
- Caelumite
- Includes a Power Stabilizer that provides 1000 power.
- Automatic signs are provided for all devices and resources.
- Excess resources and finished products can be sold automatically for credits or Astras.
- All devices can be programmed for fine control over speed and production efficiency.
- Deployment Reports lost every device and its location.
Why Use It
Vanilla outposts are limited because scattered resources require inefficient and unreliable cargo links, storage quickly becomes cluttered, and production systems are difficult to scale.
Flying Factories removes those limits and gives you complete control over how and where your production system works.
With Flying Factories
- All of a planet or moon's inorganic resources can be harvested from a single outpost.
- Smart Containers and Smart Fabricators can be located somewhere else entirely — even on a ship.
- Land-based systems no longer depend on fragile cargo-link chains.
All land-based devices are impervious to pirate attacks, allowing you to build large-scale industrial networks without worrying about random destruction.
