Extraplanetary launchpads help

[Clockwork13]

I can't figure out how it works. Just to experiment, I've sent a station with a launchpad attached into low minmus orbit but no construction is happening and I have more than enough rocketparts.

If you have no workshop attached to your ship, then command pods will act as crude workshops, providing you have ModuleManager installed too. Obviously, you need kerbals to make things, but make sure they're at least fairly courageous and are less than 50% smart (higher stupidity means lower production).

Oh. That explains why it wasn't working

How do I get metal to the workshop? I have metal and rocketparts but nothing is happening when I try to make a ship.
