It is here. Player stations are in the public build. Not done, but functional enough to play around with.
Many modules are not fully functional yet, but you can now store stuff, refine resources and build stuff. The factory only has 2 mostly useless recipes right now though, just there for testing.
The build times are massively reduced at the moment, so if you have the resources, you can build a station pretty fast. All the rates, ratios and recipes for building and refining are not at all balanced and there was a lot of copy paste used to fill out the tables with usable data. Right now, the slowest part of building a base will be collecting the raw resources to refine.
To build a station you will need to get the materials to build a core module. As you will not have a refinery yet, you will need to get the resources from an NPC station or from another player. Once you have the required materials find a nice spot away from other stations and press B to build the station. Have fun.
