Can you apply them to all buildings? How many times can you upgrade a building? What sorts of files are required? Can you do it without a constructor?

Upgrading is done entirely by ODF, and all the code lines required are stored within the ODF of the building to be upgraded. Take a look at fbkiln for an ideal example. Upgrade changes can be of an unlimited length, but need a constructor to perform the upgrade.

Upgrading a recycler is not a good idea.

Speaking of which that gives me an idea but it would and maybe could be made into a rec variant. Lets say you upgrade it and it builds 2x faster

That would require a lot of ODFs.

that only needs 1 new ODF and then changes to stock build times saved with differnt names anding _whatever to the end would work fine.
I use _SC
SRV uses _SRV
and lord tac uses _LC
I will leave it up to others to list the rest.

Build time is defined by the build ODF, not the builder. Thus to change build times by upgrading, you would need a lot of ODFs.

If I had to upgrade any buildings, it would be my constructor/builder to make it frikin MOVE faster, and upgrade my guntowers into assault towers.
But both of those are fixed or available in Blakis's Combat Mod Variant.
