Boosting manufacturing capability?

How about a facility which provides a space yard rate bonus with Space Object scope? I forget what the ability's called, but look at the Hardy Industrialists racial trait... of course, the facilities wouldn't stack unless perhaps you had several different facilities - maybe you could have a Space Yard Core (the standard spaceyard), and various researchable expansions ala which do basically the same thing (provide bonuses to the core) but stack because they're different facilities (sort of like in MOO3)...
Potential names for the expansions:
Zero-G Fabrication Facility
High Energy Binding Yard
Automated Factory
Orbital Drydock
... anything that sounds like it can assist in constructing ships

~~~
The power of the ancients is now yours to command. You are truly the Master... of the obvious

Not if you had 30 different facilities... the two traits cancel each other out, right?

Ability 9 Type := Space Yard Rate Modifier
Ability 9 Description := Space Yards on ships/bases increases production rate of planetbound Yards by [%Amount1%]%.
Ability 9 Scope := Sector - This Player
Ability 9 Range Formula := 0
Ability 9 Amount 1 Formula := 2 + (([%Level%] - 1) * 1)
Ability 9 Amount 2 Formula := 0
Ability 10 Type := Description Only
Ability 10 Description := Only 1 Space Yard effective for modifying planetary yards.
Ability 10 Scope := Sector - This Player
Ability 10 Range Formula := 0
Ability 10 Amount 1 Formula := 0
Ability 10 Amount 2 Formula := 0
Weapon Type := None

This is only a limited means (added onto ship space yard/base space yards) but it is also possible to just add in another formula that increases the space yard rate for every level of 'X' tech discovered...

kT, or mT?
