'''Building facilities''' is the process by which a player adds mines, refineries, production sites and defenses to a system in ''[[Star Wars: Rebellion]]''. Facilities do not appear on their own: a [[Construction Yard]] on a system the player controls must build them.<ref name="manual-p34" /><ref name="manual-p80" />

== Requirements ==
A system can receive a facility only if it has free energy, shown in the Sector window by blue and white squares, with every new facility converting a blue square to white. A mine also needs raw materials, shown as red squares, and finished mines appear as yellow squares.<ref name="manual-p82" /> The manual says the total number of energy slots on a system cannot be changed.<ref name="manual-p30" /> Building also costs [[Refined materials and maintenance capacity|refined materials and, except for mines and refineries, maintenance capacity]].<ref name="manual-p79" />

== Facility types ==
The manual divides facilities into manufacturing and production facilities and defensive facilities.<ref name="manual-p80" /> The production list is:<ref name="manual-p80" />

* [[Mine]]: opens up a system's raw materials.
* [[Refinery]]: turns mined material into refined material.
* [[Construction Yard]]: builds other facilities. Two yards double the speed and three triple it.
* [[Training Facility]]: builds troops and Special Forces, with the same speed rule.
* [[Orbital Shipyard]]: builds capital ships and fighters, with the same speed rule.
* [[Advanced Construction Yard]], [[Advanced Training Facility]] and [[Advanced Shipyard]]: do the same jobs more efficiently than the standard versions.

Advanced facilities become available only when [[Research and development]] produces the technology.<ref name="manual-p80" /> Defensive facilities, which the manual describes as shields and batteries, are built by a construction yard on a system the player controls.<ref name="manual-p129" />

== Giving the order ==
A build order is given by right-clicking the Facilities Under Construction area in a system's Manufacturing and Production window and choosing Build, which opens the Build Selection window.<ref name="manual-p80" /> The window can be set to build more than one facility, and units are built one after another, each announced when it is deployed. The estimated days to completion are a best case: building slows without enough refined materials and is suspended during a blockade or an uprising.<ref name="manual-p82" />

The agent droid offers a shortcut. Its Build Facilities option asks for a target system and then has the nearest available construction yard do the work.<ref name="manual-p31" /><ref name="manual-p34" /> The manual notes that ordering the yard directly gives more control, and that the yard's location matters because facilities take longer to reach distant systems, and a very long time to reach another sector.<ref name="manual-p34" />

== Stopping, destination and status ==
* Stop: a right-click choice that halts construction and returns the maintenance the project was using. Starting a new project also cancels the current one.<ref name="manual-p82" />
* Destination: lets a yard build onto any system the player controls, provided that system has the energy (and raw materials for a mine).<ref name="manual-p82" /> The tutorial advises setting the destination before starting to build.<ref name="manual-p34" />
* Status: opens the Facilities Under Construction window, which gives the day on which construction will finish.<ref name="manual-p84" />
* Reserve: keeps the agent's Manage Production option from using that yard for mines and refineries.<ref name="manual-p84" /><ref name="manual-p86" />

== Tabs and scrapping ==
Besides the default Manufacturing tab, the Manufacturing and Production window has tabs for the production facilities on the system; a grayed-out tab means there are none of that type. Right-clicking a unit gives access to its Encyclopedia entry and Status, which reports the expected arrival or deployment date for a unit still under construction or traveling.<ref name="manual-p82" />

A facility can be scrapped through the right-click menu on its tab. Scrapping returns the maintenance and part of the refined materials, and frees energy on the system. The manual's examples are scrapping a mine to make room for a construction yard, or replacing a training facility with an advanced one.<ref name="manual-p84" />

A new facility on an unpopulated system gives it a population that is entirely loyal to the player's side.<ref name="manual-p87" />
