Station Modules

Players can build modules in space station that allows you to perform some tasks like crafting, building ships and others.

Different types of modules can be built inside a space station, each offering different kind of services. To see the list of module types that can be built, use GET /module-types.

A station module type has a kind, as indicated in the kind field, which describes what kind of services this station module type provides. Refineries (recognized by the value refinery), for example, makes it possible to refine resources into higher-value resources.

A station module type has different levels that can be built. All levels must be built in order and each have a credit cost, and possibly a list of ressources necessary to be built.

Depending on the kind of module type, the elements in the levels field will contain additional information about what each level unlocks specifically. For refineries, for example, each level may unlock additional blueprints which can be used in this station.

Building or upgrading a station module

To build a station module, use the endpoint POST /systems/{systemId}/modules/{moduleType}/build. Your inventory in this station should contain the necessary resources in order to build the station module.

Once you have built the first level of a station module, you can upgrade it to the next level by using the same endpoint.

Interacting with a station module

Each module type kinds have different ways to be interacted with, and the following pages describes them:

• Refineries
• Shipyards
