Switch Between Hab Variants in the Ship Builder

When buying new Ship Parts from a Ship Services Technician on the Ship Builder screen, you might think that none of the useful Ship Habs like the Workshop, Science, and Infirmary Habs are available. However, it's likely that they are actually available within the Variant options for the Habs shown.

Look for Habs which have several Variant options and scroll through them, and you might be surprised to find that many of the Hab types are available even on early-game vendors like the Ship Services Technician in New Atlantis as shown in the image above.
