Discovery Factories and shipyards

[DarthBindo]

The material problem is further compounded by the sheer number of raw ingredients.
When one mixes titanium and aluminium, one creates a Basic Alloy.
When one mixes Beryllium and aluminium, one creates a Super Alloy.
One then uses Basic Alloys, Super Alloys, Hydrocarbons, Polymers and Boron to create Ship Hull Panels.
And now one, after having to locate and mine copious amounts of Titanium, aluminium, Beryllium, and Boron, and having to locate and harvest hydrocarbon molecules, as well as process plastics, one finally has the materials need for the frame and hull of a ship.
TL:DR.
Spaceships aren't made of steel.
And what about the engines? Nuclear fusion engines. Not exactly a car.
