Why can't i go through wormholes and gateways with my ships

[BlueWolf2005]

I do have the tech, and it says i have not scouted it even though i try to, also this a new thing I've been playing this game for almost 900 hours.

1- you have not researched the tech yet
2- you have not scouted with a science vessel yet
or
3- the guy on the other side closed his borders to you.

Probably one of the 3.

You need the tech for them first. After getting them, wormholes need a science ship to explore it to discover what worm hole it's linked to, and gateways need to be reactivated with alloys. Later you can even build your own gateways.

Mistfox basically said it all. Tho ima add small note, if i remember right, to get those techs, you must OWN system with either wormhole or gateway in it to get that tech to the list, then you research it. When tech is unlocked, you research the wormhole with science ship or click disable gateway, you'll see a button to "activate" it.

If all those have been done, the option 3 from Mistfox is probably what block you from moving through - the opposite site is inside territory that has closed borders to you.

Keep in mind, that those both has good and bad effects on you. They let you travel far instantly but also enemies. I try to build always citadels/bastions in system with gateway or wormhole if it lead out of my territories and may be invaded from.

Make sure you're using a manned science ship, not a fleet or construction ship.

Contact with an empire that has them is enough.

Guess its the 3. Option Mistfox mentioned if theres a known empire on the other side of them, check for shut borders.

Other things to mention:
1. Gateways need to be activated before they can be used
2. Wormholes (and yea the Wormhole itself) need to be explored by a science vessel before anything can pass through them, wich is also when they tell you were they lead.

@OP did you do those things?

You can see whether you've scouted a wormhole by the color of the icon by the way. If it's red, it's unscouted. If it's white, it's scouted and you can left-click the icon to move the camera to the connected wormhole.
