Ridiculously Fast Construction	comment	A necessity of any Real-Time Strategy game in which units or buildings are built on the playing field. All buildings can be produced and military units trained in a ridiculously short amount of time. Full-fledged headquarters can be built in just minutes, and even elite military units can be trained in under 30 seconds. Note that this is not explainable simply by claiming that one second of "real time" equals a much longer time in "game time", because other aspects of the game, such as combat, are not sped up by as much. For example, a single construction worker can often build or repair a building faster than a tank can knock it down (very often instantly repairing it at the first moment of contact, at that). It can potentially be justified by invoking higher levels of abstraction; e.g., if each "tank" really represents a division, and the combats are battles lasting days or weeks of "real time" on end (which would be enough time to build the equipment for a new division by World War II standards — if still probably not to train the men for it). Recent RTS games have danced around this issue by explaining new units as off-map reinforcements, or airborne troops, and/or new structures as "dropped in from orbit". Company of Heroes is somewhat idiosyncratic in this regard, since many of the units in the game, despite being described as "reinforcements" that the player has to "requisition", magically appear next to the barracks where they were requisitioned, in a manner similar to units in traditional RTS games. However, the player is occasionally able to spend resources to call in off-map reinforcements which roll onto the battlefield from off the edge of the map in a more realistic fashion. For games set in The Future, it's sometimes explained that some kind of new high technology, like nanomachines or unobtainium-powered factories, does allow you to churn out a division of tanks or put up base defenses in mere seconds. Some fantasy games similarly explain it with magic. If it's addressed in the first place, a Person of Mass Construction may be involved. Compare Easy Logistics, a related trope that simplifies another economic aspect of warfare by ignoring or downplaying the problem of supplying the troops once they are commissioned and deployed. Often a prerequisite for Command & Conquer Economy and Construct Additional Pylons. One of the Acceptable Breaks from Reality. Subtrope of Video Game Time.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_108f6aee	comment	Family of the Shield: The Golden Shogun Shield that Naofumi Iwatani collected has the Unique Ability known as [Territorial Reform]: which allowed for him to manage and construct the roads and buildings in any territory that he owns, which consisted of Luroluna Village, the greater Seaetto Territory of Melromarc, and possibly Siltvelt. He would then gift the Ability to his eldest son Monti after experimenting with the Shield and upgrading it to it's best quality possible before departing to handle a crisis in the Capital. By the time Naofumi returned a few hours later, Monti had already used the ability to build up most of the once-destroyed Houses in Luroluna and finished constructing a defensive wall around the town; even making the wall go down a sheer cliffside.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_13f21e09	comment	Company of Heroes attempts to justify this with the Allies. The Americans build everything out of sandbags and tents, and the British truck everything on lorries (cargo vans) that unfold into temporary structures. Both Axis factions, however, can still build fortified concrete bunkers inside of five minutes (the concrete wouldn't even have set within that time; let alone properly cured). The implication is that the Allies are the invading liberators, while the Axis are the dug-in, bunkered-down fascist defenders, who've had the time to build proper military bases (and you're just supposed to pretend that they've been there for years in multiplayer/skirmish). Everyone's HQ is a fortified civilian house as well.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_17bfcf60	comment	Homeworld and its sequels get around this by also having molecular assembly technology incorporated into the setting. In addition, the crews of the combat vessels are assumed to be colonists from the Mothership that are awakened from cryo-sleep. As there are 600,000 of them, it is unlikely that the player will ever build so many units as to begin stretching disbelief in this regard. In Homeworld 2, the largest production-capable ship, the Shipyard, even explicitly described to be "so massive it needs to be hyperspaced into combat". This also necessitates said hyperspace technology module to be built first (and, in the Vaygr's part, manually researched first). Here, however, even the largest of units show up from somewhere as opposed to magically appear beside the ship, as every production capable unit has an "entry" and "exit" point for ships that can be produced to be deployed. This adds a very breathtaking moments (and also annoying to some extent) when a battlecruiser is finished and is clearing the production bay before it is sent on its order. The Homeworld: Cataclysm manual states that the two massive Explorer-class mining vessels (Faal-Corum and Kuun-Lan) were both completed in 35 days (for reference, each one masses 613,000 tons).

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_1861f45b	comment	In Starcraft, the Protoss teleport buildings and units to the base instead of actually constructing and training them, and the Zerg, whose technology is all organic, simply have their drones and larvae mutate into buildings and units, respectively. In addition, it is plausible that Terran SCVs, possessing future technology, can construct buildings in no time, and it's canon that humans are simply taken out of cryogenic storage and have armor bolted on. Terran buildings also seems to contain only the bare minimum of everything. Thus, they do not take long to create. The sequel's updated animations and lore also imply that the majority of their structures are simply assembled on-site from pre-fabricated components with some limited auto-assembly capabilities to aid the SCV in it's work.

Real-life roller coasters are designed on computers and prefabricated off-site, so it's not too far from the truth as far as construction goes. Perhaps the biggest difference is the amount of testing and quality assurance needed before the public can have a ride: the game simply requires a single successful test run. On the other hand, designing your own coaster may take minutes or hours of real time, which can translate to many weeks in-game.

He must subsequently find someone to move into the building that is being constructed while he is away; he will find the building finished immediately after sending that someone over there. Even if you take into account the speed of the in-universe clock, this will often only take a few in-game hours. Its sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, has a few shrine quests involving bringing a crystal to where a shrine would be as a means of building a new one from scratch.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_255eafe9	comment	In the Cossacks and successor American Conquest series of games, buildings can be constructed (the traditional way of workers hammering at the ground) and units trained extremely rapidly - in some cases literally in a matter of seconds. This is particularly evident in the late game as there are various upgrades in all of the games that greatly reduce build and training times. The effect is also especially pronounced on higher end computers.

Bugs runs out, you hear sawing and hammering, and then he comes back and asks "Now is it big enough?" In the two seconds he's out, Bugs has built about a dozen skyscrapers around the town. 2004's Hare And Loathing In Las Vegas has Yosemite Sam's gambling casino put up over Bugs' rabbit hole faster than you can say "What's up, Doc?" In "Rhapsody in Rivets", a skyscraper is built in the time it takes to play Liszt's ''Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2". By the end of the cartoon, the pace seems to be about five floors a second. The plucky little rabbit in 1937's Porkys Building constructs a skyscraper with his ears alone to help Porky beat a bad-guy competitor's building. And within a minute, too.

The 'base' in the game, the adaptive cruiser Antaeus, is equipped with "Creation Engines" which contain trillions of nano scale assembler robots capable of creating new vehicles from blueprints stored in the carrier in just seconds. The only resource required is 'metal' obtained by scavenger units using disassembler beams to reclaim various wreckage from the battlefield. The disassembling process does take time, presumably due to the lesser numbers of nanobots involved.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_367f632a	comment	Dawn of War justifies this nicely, at least with Imperial forces. Prefabricated buildings are dropped from orbit and then assembled by servitors or a Techpreist. Units are requisitioned, and are shuttled in from orbit via pods or dropships. Eldar grow an unobtainium material using "psychic singing" for their buildings and use teleportation for their transport. Orks construct their buildings from a pile of materials dropped by a flyer, the results being rather slapdash. Chaos summons in its buildings and units via the Warp. Necron buildings are assumed to have been constructed long ago and stored in underground tombs, and then teleported onto the battlefield as needed. The fact that many of the soldiers are veterans with a history of combat stretching back years, decades, or in some cases even centuries or millennia, rather than new recruits (with those units supposed to be being among the game's weakest), also helps suspend disbelief in so far as the setting's premises are accepted.

You get to watch your character build all the town's buildings, eventually going so fast that they start leaving Speed Echoes that result in an entire army of identical guys/girls rushing around throwing rocks at a half-completed building and then using the cow brush to polish it. Yeah. In Story of Seasons (2014), It takes 2 minutes to completely renovate your house with the right materials, and 5 seconds to make (and upgrade) your gear.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_56fa0ea4	comment	The Civilization series: Inverted by default: it can take more time to train a single musketeer than any war of the 1400s-1700s actually lasted. The Marathon game speed in Civilization IV helped to ever so slightly mitigate this by reducing the number of years that pass per turn, increasing the construction cost of buildings more than it increased the construction cost of new units, and keeping unit movement the same. Scenarios also operate on completely different calendars from normal gameplay, allowing a bit more believability. Zig-zagged in Civ V and VI, where most buildings and units can either be produced over time or purchased instantly. The question of where, for example, a cutting-edge spaceship megaproject component is being sold is not addressed.

The crafting speeds get more wild with advanced Assembler machines, as with Speed modules installed, you can craft even complex machinery like chemical plants and nuclear centrifuges in a under a minute, condensing hundreds of concrete slabs, steel plates, and advanced circuitry into said centrifuge in unreasonably quick time.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_616626a5	comment	Averted in X3 Reunion and the sequels. If you decide to build a capital ship instead of just buying it from a shipyard, you need to first reverse engineer the ship to learn the blueprints or buy blueprints (lots of money), build absurd amounts of resources, and then you need wait twenty hours in real time as your Player Headquarters builds the ship. Fighter ships take anywhere from 3 minutes to 3 hours to build depending on what class it is (i.e. a scout is quick to build while a heavy fighter takes over an hour); the reverse engineering and build time takes longer the larger and more advanced the ship is. The game thankfully has a device that speeds up time 10x. However, buying capital ships (or anything, for that matter) from race-owned shipyards results in the ship spontaneously being generated from nowhere with no build time - the only limit is how many credits you have. Space stations are also assembled instantly by your ships, regardless of distance, allowing players to build space stations inside enemy ships

While the day/night cycle strongly implying that each turn takes several hours makes this a relatively mild example by videogame standards, it's still fairly implausibly fast recruitment for a fairly traditional fantasy setting, especially considering that it can be done in any castle that has a suitable keep — even if it originally belonged to an enemy. One could come away with the impression that a sizable train of both old allies and random new recruits must accompany the leader offscreen everywhere he or she goes, only waiting to be actually paid in order to enter the map...

It stops there, however, and soon barracks with limitless supplies of troops and instantly-manned guard towers will start materializing out of the ground (part of the point of tiberium of a substance was to help justify/handwave fast on-field construction, but that only helps with the literal construction of things, not providing manpower). In Tiberian Dawn Nod land vehicles (except for the initial harvester that comes with the refinery) had the justification of being off-map reinforcements flown in to an airstrip that served as Nod's counterpart to GDI's War Factory (it is implied the cargo planes are technically civilian and only contracted by Nod, hence why GDI's rules of engagements don't allow shooting them down).

Justified, in that the whole game offers a logical reason why construction is so fast—namely, the whole concept of war is centered around the capacity of a single unit to make up an army from nothing in a matter of minutes. And they can do it because they have at their disposal the nanotechnological advancements of, approximately, a very very long time.

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Inverted in Warhammer 40,000 as far as the Imperium/Adeptus Mechanicus is concerned: to reinforce the always-losing state of the nominal good guys, everything takes a huge amount of time to replace (when they're not made with Lost Technology and thus irreplaceable). Mile-Long Ship in particular take centuries to construct, partially because We Will Use Manual Labor in the Future is in full effect (one of the dangers of such ships is running into the inbred cannibalistic tribes descended from the workers who got lost during construction). Forge Worlds are entire planets devoted to producing vast amounts of ordnance, weapons and vehicles, but how fast they do so isn't stated.

A eagle/pegasus/dragon nest (mostly made out of solid rock) can be built in less than 30 seconds, and takes about as much time as the construction of a first-level base (which often comprises multiple towers and structures housed around a single building).

Ridiculously Fast Construction / int_cdc9d1b1	comment	Earth 2150: The first game plays this straight with the ED (builds a scaffold then the building's pieces emerge from it) and the UCS (a metallic shell covers the site and recedes when the building is complete). The LC averts this with buildings being lowered from an orbital assembly. The sequel mixes it up a bit: the ED main building is lowered from orbit then it builds the rest around itself; the UCS still plays it straight. The protagonists even use UCS forces in the third campaign especially because they can drop a few construction units disguised as asteroids onto the planet then build their forces on-site and take their objective without getting blown out of the sky by orbital defenses. And since the UCS forces are purely robotic...

Played straight, however, in Island of Happiness, where the island's lone carpenter, Gannon, can put together anything overnight once you give him enough money to work with. This seems to suggest that he's really good at his job, or that he Must Have Lots of Free Time. Harvest Moon: A New Beginning. You get to watch your character build all the town's buildings, eventually going so fast that they start leaving Speed Echoes that result in an entire army of identical guys/girls rushing around throwing rocks at a half-completed building and then using the cow brush to polish it. Yeah. In Story of Seasons (2014), It takes 2 minutes to completely renovate your house with the right materials, and 5 seconds to make (and upgrade) your gear.

Travel times go from a couple days to hundreds and thousands, and the same goes for constructing buildings and vehicles. Fortunately, you can build multiple construction facilities (and later upgrade them), but even with the industrial power of an entire planet dedicated to manufacturing (and the resource and refinery worlds that supply it), it easily takes a hundred days to build a single capital ship. It's befitting one of the early examples of what would later be called a grand strategy game.

Whenever the commander needs more units, they are simply airdropped directly into the combat zone. Where exactly all these reinforcements (and the planes that are dropping them) are coming from isn't quite explained, but there are some points during missions where you're allowed to deploy a certain number of special units, with the reasoning that they're extra equipment being flown in from nearby depots and bases. This trope is also Lampshaded during one of the missions, where the Americans must take back Ellis Island from Russian Spetsnaz commandos. The Americans are at first confused as to how the hell the Spetsnaz have so many vehicles and equipment, and then quickly deduce that the American garrison on Ellis Island was horribly oversupplied.
