just go into the options you get before you start a game

you would have to go into every entity file and alter the buildtime line.

good luck!
That's just painful, and not necessary.

In order to mod, you'll need to download the game packs from the downloads section. That will provide the game in raw text to work with. From there, go into the GameInfo\gameplay.constants file. Do you know how you can change the global game settings from slow/fast poor/rich? This file states how strong each of those settings are. Scroll all the way down near the bottom, you'll see these lines:
buildSpeedData-Slow
shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.0
moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.0
buildSpeedData-Normal
shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.10
moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar 0.10
...
.....
....
shipPhysicsSpeedData-Fast
shipLinearMaxSpeedGameSpeedScalar 0.6
shipLinearAccelerationGameSpeedScalar 0.6
shipLinearDecelerationGameSpeedScalar 0.6
Tweak them to your heart's content. When you're done you need to put all the gameinfo files in a new folder, and put them in your mods directory. You can check in game (under options/mods) to find where the mods directory is located.

set to 50.0 and it works great except for one thing my constuctors seem to get lost. they just seem to go around in circles or circle the stucture like they cant get to it. i have to give them orders to go some where else to break the pattern, thanks guys

i found it got to sinsofasolarempire/gamplay.constants.file 

from there move file to desktop then open with note pad to modify 

once open near the bottom there you will find

buildSpeedData-Slow
shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar ..... 
moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar .....
buildSpeedData-Normal
shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar .....
moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar  .....
buildSpeedData-Fast
shipBuildRateGameSpeedScalar .....
moduleBuildRateGameSpeedScalar ..... 

it will say 0.02 or something like that where i wrote .....

 

then replace ...... with 100000000000 and it will be almost instant on building ships
