Can't build dyson sphere

[Dack_Official]

I am unable to build a dyson sphere and i have no clue why, i've researched it but it's not even showing up in the build megastructure menu, i used to be able to build them but i cant anymore for whatever reason

[Nightmyre]

Dyson Sphere is part of the Ascension perks now, did you take the appropriate perk?

[Dack_Official]

Yea i've had it for like 100 years and like i said i've been able to build them before

[Nightmyre]

Sorry - you used to be able to build them in your current game? If so, are you currently building another megastructure? Or, are you building in the wrong sector, IE, one which has research or mining stations? Usually if you highlight the structure, it'll tell you why you can't build it.

[Dack_Official]

Yes i used to be able to in my current game and like i said before it isnt even showing up in the buildable megastructures

[Moridin]

are you sure you dont already have one in your territory?

Did you already build one? In vanilla you're only allowed to build a maximum of 1 of each type of megastructure (excluding Habitats and Gateways) from scratch, period. Megastructures acquired by other means (repairing a ruined one or capturing one from another empire) do not count towards this limit.

havent done any of that, unless they changed it because i might have captured one but i went on a bit of a take over spree so im not sure if i have one or not

Just checking, you are trying to build it around a star and not a planet, moon or asteroid, correct?

If you already have one it will still be in the list but it will be greyed out.

You can build multiple ring worlds, too.

Ok. I have this too.

Yeah I have all requirements - ascension perk, tech, enough resources, and construction ships.
No dyson spheres in my empire. Yes, other megastructures. No, I'm not building others atm.
No matter which system I try it in - by clicking Dyson Sphere button in megastructures - construction ship just goes to orbit a star and then just sits there showing "No Orders" state.

does the star have a station above it already(besides the outpost)?

does it act the same if you right click the star and select "build megastructure"?

Update.

Made it work by dismantling mining station around a star

Which was, like, my second comment, for the record :p

Still should have been showing up in the list, just greyed out with a message telling you to dismantle the station when you mouse over it.

Odd.

So I just got the ascension perk for my first time and it doesn't even show in the list,
I can only see Sentry, Nexus, shipyard & habitat.
I'm currently not building any others, unless having some not fully upgraded count.

I tried to remove all stations in a system, but still doesn't show up on the list.

Any thoughts?

[Elitewrecker PT]

Have you researched it?
