Megastructures tech

[CLop]

How do you get to research it? I am 150 years into a game and it still has not come up on research slots.

btw I have got Utopia

Its an ascencion perk (the thing you can chose after you completed one full traditions menue). To choose it you need to already have 2 (or 3) ascension perks.

It says in the ascencion perk that you have to unlock the mega engineering tech before.

Ah, sry, you asked for the tech^^

"Battleships and Fortesses. Having master builders makes it more likely. Having any megastructure (FE ringworld etc) in your borders makes it vastly more likely."

Ah so building more fortresses and battleships makes mega engineering tech more likely? Btw I just looked it up you need zero point power tech to then unlock the mega engineering tech.

As far as I understood the dev -> yes
(I had already many battleships when I got the tech so I have no idea how many I had or after how many years I was able to research it^^)

How many battleships like 20?

I didn't get the Megastructure's tech until I was on my next to last Ascension perk, so my last two options were the Megastructure's and then the Ring Worlds. It's possible my tech was just super delayed though, it's random after all. Just FYI.

For the record, they take -forever- to build and it's in stages. I think the Dyson sphere ended up being around...160000 minerals? 40k each upgrade and the 1st one does nothing. Ring World is a lot easier.

I'm not sure but it was somewhere between 40-60. Remember that there is a big luck factor like with all techs too, so I might just have been lucky/unlicky.

Ive done two playthroughs and I'm still not able to build a mega structure.

Utopia so far has been a complete waste of money.

Aside from every other thing it added you mean

You need the Battleships, Fortressess, and Zero point power techs to even unlock it.

It's appearance chance is extremely low (3). For comparison, battleships is 45. On top of that, if your physics lead scientist dosen't have the Voidcraft expertise or is not a curator recuit, the chances of getting it are multiplied by 0.25, making it EXTREMELY rare.

You have a 20x chance of getting it if you have a megastructure or megastructure frame in your borders, so conquering your neighbors might be useful.

Honestly they didn't add 20€ worth of content to the game even if I got the mega-structures to work.

I didn't pay this kind of money to Maybe get the content.

I'm gonna find a console command to force it to start. It's just ridiculous otherwise.

Yeah right... They shouldn't add anything that gives some kind of progress. The only way to fix stellaris is that we have everything unlocked the second we start the game. Why discover stuff? They should just let us see everything, what a broken ridiculous game!

Or on a more serious note, stop whining and just play. You can build megastructures in every damn playthrough!

I am 200 years into the game I have ♥♥♥♥ load of fortresses I got battleships I got zero point power habitats master builders perk I got everything I can dream of except the mega-engineering it sucks
