Several ships can be constructed at every steam shipyard. When a ship is being constructed but the shipyard loses access to electricity, the construction process is paused, but its progress is saved and it will continue from the same point once electricity is available again. Without electricity shipyards can still receive orders for what ships are supposed to be built but the construction cannot progress. Steam shipyards require electricity to construct ships. During construction though, the maintenance cost increases to its regular value and the necessary workforce is employed at the shipyard. When the shipyard is idle, it does not use any workforce and its maintenance cost is lowered - the maintenance cost is halved if the inactive upkeep setting is on, and it is zero if inactive upkeep setting is off (this difficulty setting is toggled on or off while creating a new game). The construction process lasts several minutes, depending on the type of the ship. Those resources are allocated immediately when the ship is selected for construction.

Every available ship requires specific amounts of construction materials and influence. The purpose of steam shipyards is to construct steam ships. 1.2 Selecting and queuing ships for construction.
