The ship, once fully assembled, will allow the colonists to escape the planet and win the game.

Summary

A working ship must include 1 of each ship part and at least 3 engines. The absolute minimum amount of supplies needed to create a fully functional ship is as follows:

  • Steel 1740
  • Plasteel 740
  • Uranium 294
  • Advanced component 42
  • Component 12
  • Gold 74
  • Persona core 1

In specfic, the ship needs 3 things to launch:

  • Have all necessary parts built and connected. Any ship part can connect to any other ship part, except for ship cryptosleep caskets, which must connect to a ship structural beam. (I.e., beams are only required for caskets)
  • Have the ship reactor activated. The activation process takes 15 days and will attract constant raiders, both human and mechanoid.
  • Have at least one ship cryptosleep casket occupied.

The ships launch readiness can be displayed by selecting any ship part and clicking 'Show launch report'. It will either list deficiencies or display 'Ready for launch'. Only one occupied cryptosleep ship casket is necessary for launch, but each colonist or animal you wish to evacuate must have their own casket. Currently, animals have to be carried to caskets while downed. The easiest way to do it is to apply anesthesia on them.

Analysis

Overall, the advanced components are the hardest material to gather enough to make a ship. In order to accelerate the production of those, you will probably want multiple skilled crafters and multiple fabrication benches.

The ship reactor does not require any other part of the ship to begin activation. It is optimal to begin activation as soon as the reactor is built and secured. Getting the supplies for the other ship parts increases wealth, which increases the strength of raids. In addition, the ship reactor can be surrounded with layers and layers of walls to ensure that your effort doesn't get wasted. After the 15 days, if you survive , you can start to gather all the resources and build the ship.
