My techtree looks like this:

shipA 1 podA
shipB 2 podA podB

In the game I get podA as a starting unit and I can build shipA, but I can't build shipB even if I research podB because it still says that I need to build podA for that... What could be the problem here?

edit: fixed spelling

Misspelling is my guess You have written here

podaA

Nope, this was an abstracted techtree. Spelling is fine...

moved to modding

could you post the actual two lines of your techtree please? if the pods are the same ODFs, it should work out

fnv.odf 1 fed_pod0.odf // NV (Intrepid) Class
fnx.odf 2 fed_pod0.odf fedR_chassis_lrc.odf // NX (Enterprise) Class

Did you add it to the yard?

The ships, yes.
You get fed_pod0 at the game start as it has a time-set trigger which advances the techtree into the next Era. So you don't have to build it, you have it from the beginning. fedR_chassis_lrc can be built in a research station, but even if I research it, I can't build the NX class because it demands fed_pod0. While I can build NVs without any problem.

if you use a replace weapon to advance into the next era, is it possible that the fed_pod0 gets replaced - aka removed?

Yes, but only after a considerable time. You have to play for 5 minutes before the replaceweapon replaces that pod with another one which refits your ships and stations and replaces itself with a new era-pod within one second.
But the issue is present from the very beginning, before the replaceweapon fires. I can build as many NVs as I want, but even if I research the other necessary pod, I can't build an NX because it demands fed_pod0.

what are the lines for fedR_chassis_lrc.odf and fed_pod0.odf?

Have you seen if you can build the NX (Enterprise) Class when you sub out the fed_pod0.odf requirement with that of another unit?
