Hints on building a mega station

[ICBM]

Hello all, First post here,

am new to X4, played it so far for 300 hours and lovin this game. i found out about the Station builder sim and wanna just fool around and thought of building a massive station with the goal to have it build Every ship(warf+shipyard) , basically making a self-sufficient Mega station (without PHQ). I made a warf and a ship yard but only with storage so far and just had traders fill them up.

Kinda want some general pointers in station needs, mostly to do with how many production modules I need to per type, for example how many Anti-matter production modules I need at minimum and how many storage units I may need. Also is there a way to tell how much population I need per module so ( for example 1 or 2 X size habitat for each module) so far I'm only starting and am planning to make 2 production modules per type. but am not sure what that means lol.

Would also love some pointers on population needs (water food, and medicne in general)

p.s. if this is the wrong forum to ask please direct me to the right one

Slightly out of date, but this is what you want.

Example of a station: calculated plan -> build
