Shipyard Production
Prev: Birthday Time! | Next: Reminder: Why you should Fleet Save
When building items at a shipyard (which includes fleet AND defense items), the time spent is based on the ShipYard level. The higher the shipyard, the faster you can build.
Also, when upgrading a shipyard, you cannot build new fleets OR defenses. So keep this in mind when upgrading.
Furthermore, you cannot cancel anything being built by the ShipYard (which includes fleets and defenses). This is to prevent “saving exploits”, where you dump all your resources into ships to be created, then cancel them after the attacker is gone.
Robotic Factories do not affect your ship build times. Shipyards and Nanite Factories will decrease your build times.
Black Knight X is correct (see comment below). Robotic Factories do not affect the speed in which your ships are produced.

don’t know if it affects the ships

Nanites are really worth the price you pay for them. Each level cuts the time to produce and build defenses (among other things) by half. I currently have Nanite level 2 and Shipyard lvl 11 on one of my planets and I produce Battleships in 30 minutes, talk about rebuilding a fleet in no time :)
— Puckeye Oct 4, 05:01 PM #
Nanites are definately worth it … i have lvl 4 at the moment with my lvl 12 shipyard and i can build battle ships in 6min and 55 seconds … now is that quick or what …
— Sidewinder Nov 19, 11:41 PM #
hey i just accedently built way to big of a fleet and i dont know how to stop the construction the 50 odd ships i just built can some one tell me how to stop the build of ships.
— Matt Feb 20, 05:16 PM #
ok but how do u build a shipyard?
— gamerx9 Mar 12, 12:19 PM #
Im pretty sure u cannot stop building ships or defenses and its a wild guess but i would think it is because u can then use defense or ship building as a resource save when just about to be attacked. So thats why im pretty sure u cannot cancel.
— ItaliaNHitmaN Mar 12, 06:51 PM #
robo factories dont affect build time at all! even try it.
— fearthereaper Apr 28, 12:53 PM #
Hey, Gamerx9! You need a level two Robotics factory before you can construct a shipyard. Which doesn’t make much sense, seeing as the robotics factory doesn’t even affect ship building times.
Oh, and Matt, there is no such thing as too big of a fleet in OGame. This is an interstellar war game; I don’t think that a large fleet would hinder in any way.
— LordOfChaos_Uber May 28, 06:31 AM #
I think that the only point in the robotics factory is to make it more expensive to get the buildings like Nanite and Shipyard!
— Jimbob Jun 18, 02:54 PM #
What is neccesary to build battleships. I’ve got lvl 4 robotic factory and a lvl 6 warf

“I don’t think that a large fleet would hinder in any way.”
Minus exorbitant deuterium costs, but that’s inconsequential unless you filled it up with Destroyers. :P
— Arbron Jul 1, 12:18 PM #
I have a lv. 12 nanite fac and level 14 shipyard,and until i lost i could build a destroyer in 10 minutes. but i got raided in my sleep(freaking cheapos) by 100 deathstars and 1000 bombers.
— Zal Jul 3, 03:49 PM #
@ Zal… How does being raided change your production time ? try and get a sense of what you are talking about…
And for the record a level 12 nanite sounds a bit like wishful thinking…
— Tas Devil Jul 5, 07:58 AM #
“I have a lv. 12 nanite fac and level 14 shipyard,and until i lost i could build a destroyer in 10 minutes.”
Level 12 Nanite Factory + level 14 Shipyard would allow you to build a Destroyer in 2 seconds, not 10 minutes.
To build a Destroyer in 10 minutes (and 18 seconds), you’d need:
Nanite Factory level 4
Shipyard level 15
— Arbron Jul 11, 03:16 AM #
I believe that you build your Robotic Factory to lvl 10 to get the Nanite Factory. The Nanite Factory (Level 1) halves the time for you to build another level of your next Robotic Factory. You Then build a few more Robotic Factory levels, which will decrease the amount of time it will take to increase your next Nanite Factory levels, etc.
Perhaps….. IMHO

“Nanites are definately worth it … i have lvl 4 at the moment with my lvl 12 shipyard and i can build battle ships in 6min and 55 seconds … now is that quick or what …”
it may be quick but without the right mine levels so u can get the res is a waste of time.

if they attacked u in ur sleep with that kind of fleet, zal, then they wud b right next to u and hav like lvl 13 hyperspace engine…
unless ur a bear and hibernated

“I believe that you build your Robotic Factory to lvl 10 to get the Nanite Factory.”
Correct.
“The Nanite Factory (Level 1) halves the time for you to build another level of your next Robotic Factory.”
Also correct.
“You Then build a few more Robotic Factory levels, which will decrease the amount of time it will take to increase your next Nanite Factory levels, etc.
Perhaps….. IMHO”
I wouldn’t recommend bothering with the Robotics Factory at all after you get your Nanite Factory. In fact, I’d deconstruct the Robotics Factory (AFTER I’ve got my Nanite Factory to a desirable level) to free up some fields.
— Arbron Jul 17, 11:18 AM #
This factory produces units that are believed to be the ultimate evolution in robotics technology. Nanites are nanometer-sized robots capable of extraordinary performance through networking. Once researched, they increase productivity in almost every area, and because of this, the nanite factory halves the construction time for buildings, ships, and defensive structures with each level.
— gfgfg Jul 21, 02:59 AM #
ya well funny thing about rpg’s like this,they don’t tell you EVERYTHING.
— Zal Jul 25, 07:58 PM #
@Arbron
Right, though you should not deconstruct the Robotics factroy, as you will need it to upgrade to nanite factory level 2, then 3, then…
As for the fields, if you planned your development properly, by the time you build nanites you should have no planet under 200 fields (except the main one of course)
— Etheric Aug 28, 08:11 AM #
”@Arbron

To quote myself:
“In fact, I’d deconstruct the Robotics Factory (AFTER I’ve got my Nanite Factory to a desirable level)”
However, I’ve actually changed my mind. Completely deconstructing the Robotics Factory is stupid.
Robotics Factory level 1 is like a Nanite Factory level 1 for buildings – it halves their construction time, as below.
Building time / (1 + level of RF)
Going to level 3 halves it again, and going to level 7 halves it again. Therefore, if you deconstruct the RF, don’t go below level 7.

how much do nanite factorys cost?
— Joe Oct 5, 10:48 AM #
nanite factory costs 1 mil metal, 500k crystal, and 100k deut
— n00bkillr Nov 10, 06:18 AM #
i just have maxium of 2 ship… how can i increase it??
thks
You can increase the number of fleets you can send by researching the Computer Technology option. ~ Voidhawk
— pri Dec 12, 07:33 PM #
Oh yea I have nanite six and shipyard 15 now, 1 minute and 24 second battle ships :D
— Mike Anderson Dec 14, 10:04 PM #
how much do terraformers cost?
— 12345sniper Dec 15, 01:51 PM #
can you construct a nanite factory while your shipyard is operating?
— I Cast A Deadly Shadow Jan 4, 11:11 PM #
How do you get a shipyard i mean come on i,ve bin playing for 4 weeks and i can’t get a shipyard!
— i Need your help Jan 20, 08:11 AM #
You need to build level 2 robotic factories . . .
Try looking in the technology tab
— Dood Feb 4, 03:58 PM #
Here’s a good way to get Nanite levels without getting crashed:
The optimum combination is to get the crystal mine or deuterium s. to a level at which the upgrading costs about half of the nanite upgrade. Build up a fleet of LC’s or SC’s. As big as you can. Every time before you log out, fleet save with all the resources you have (set the speed to 10% just to be sure). When you have enough, start an update on the Crystal mine or Deut. Synth. Continue fleetsaving with res until you have the rest of the res for nanite. Sometimes you’ll have to stop the upgrade so that you don’t spend the res and then fleetsave again. Keep it up until you can upgrade. Works perfectly!
— BlueVD Mar 2, 08:14 PM #
WADDUP??? ima back…
it only takes 14 nanites to get every ship(other than destroyer, battlecruiser, or deathstar) without any shipyard lvls. with 12 shipyard every ship takes 1 second.
Imagine getting graviton with that?
but nanites 14 is crazy
just thought i’d let you know :D
— Thecat Mar 22, 01:29 PM #
wot does graviton do i have heard that sometimes u lose your fleet wen attempting it is this tru?
— bob Apr 29, 09:53 PM #
OK. if anybody has read this far trying to find out what research and buildings you need to build something else, go to “technology” on ogame and it gives you all the prerequisites for ships, buildings, and research. so dont waste other peoples time asking questions about that on forums.
— the_brando May 25, 03:32 PM #
how do i cancel shipyard production?
— commander thor May 30, 07:27 PM #
Read the top. You can’t cancel ships or defenses.
— Trevyr May 30, 10:52 PM #
When someone atacks u does the ships u have in your planet fight
— Roxana Mora May 31, 10:10 AM #
yes, the fleet on ur planet helps attack the attacker attacking u.
— bill Jun 15, 10:41 AM #
Can i extend the amount of pages the interplanetary missles that can attack someone?
— bill Jun 15, 10:43 AM #
You must have a lot of time on you :))
Costs: Nanite Factory (Level 12)
Metal Crystal Deuterium Energy
2.048.000.000 1.024.000.000 204.800.000 0
Production time: 3413d 08:00:00
— Strecher Jul 28, 12:05 PM #
Nanite lwl 12 is nearly imposible, even if u are nmbr 1 in universe. Someone will unite and attack you. { wel if top 50 players are in 1 alliance, and they got each other back, and they are ready to play Ogame for at least few years, maybe its possible}
— Arthour Aug 15, 10:57 AM #
no my friend has the nanite factory level 1 and the ships’ time decreased by half and the robtics factory doesn’t decrease the time of the ships !!!
is it so hard
— ybn the jbn Aug 19, 03:01 AM #
anyone suck my phat cock for deut?

Thats bull, what idiot would wait 3000 days, thats like 10 years lmao..
— D3NIAL Feb 7, 11:06 PM #
Ok, I may be missing something here. I go to the shipyard but can’t build the Solar Satellite or Light Fighter.
— TungstenX Feb 14, 04:05 AM #
Hi nOObest of nOObs here,
I was advised not to build shipyard until i had at least level 10 mines and as much research done as economically possible to avoid being attacked early on and being farmed. Is there any truth to this ? (I was good i read the whole forum first !!)
— Cookie Feb 27, 02:05 PM #
How do you get power other than solar plants? Anyone know?
— moongu Mar 4, 07:39 PM #
do people try to be stupid on this forum?
if you don’t have a shipyard, you can’t make defenses, so…...........
solar satellites, the closer to the sun you are, the more power they get.
