Orbital Shipyard: Power, Thermal & Build-Rate Budget (2D)

The 3D original renders an orbital shipyard scene from a generic decorative dock/vehicle template shared across many unrelated sims, with no underlying construction logistics or orbital-mechanics model. This 2D companion replaces that with a real engineering budget: orbital altitude sets the station's period and how much of each orbit it spends in Earth's shadow, panel and radiator area set hard ceilings on available power and heat rejection, and the construction-power slider lets you push robotic-arm throughput right up against — and past — the thermal limit, where the sim visibly throttles the build rate to keep the station from overheating.
