I tried it. The second constructor module is wasted - you can't build extra starbase components from it. Just another bug.

Personal belief is that it should have one of these behaviors:

1. Work (build two modules)


2. Not let you put two on


3. When you put the second on, tell you it'll be useless

I certainly did it during the beta and observed the same behavior that drank reports. They'll certainly fit with sufficient miniaturization skills.

Thanks for the replies Citizens.

In the last release you can only put one on. (At least the "capacity tab" disapears for me I think that's intentional as it doesn't disappear when adding colony or troop modules)

You only get the benefit of using a single construction module as, like Kid Charming says, the entire ship is used up to build a new starbase/module.

The reason why you can fit multiple colony/troop modules is that you can create a single ship able to carry more colonists to their new home (colony starts with a pop boost) or to carry a larger army into an invasion.

Personally I always design a troop transport with two troop modules and better engines as soon as my tech level allows it as then you need fewer transports to invade larger colonies.
