Two science nexus?

[Shinzor]

Hello I was wondering if I could repair a science nexus I have discovered after already having one

Aside of Ringworld/Gateway you can't posses/build more than 1 megastructures of each type

Ehhhh, I think what OP has listed is actually the exception. You can only create one Galactic Wonder. Repairing one does not count to your creation limit.

EDIT: Changed a word. Megastructures include Habitats, which don't follow the limit.

I am thinking of taking the perk to build it in the game I have going but I am hoping to be able to repair the one I took a little while back as well

"One of each Galactic Wonder can be found ruined in the galaxy, and the largest galaxies can spawn two or even all three ruined Galactic Wonders. Repairing them only requires Tech mega engineering.png mega-engineering technology and no Ascension Perk, while also granting a better chance (x20 weight) to draw Tech mega engineering.png mega-engineering. While they upgrade from their broken to a fully functional state in one step, they do not count for any achievements and generally do not trigger any of the special quests associatied with them. However as they do not count for the achievements they also do not count against any limit for that particular megastructure. "

Indeed you were right Stormsong

Thank you

I have another question: Is it possible to build a Science Nexus, give the system it's housed in to a vassal, build another one (since you currently don't have any), then integrate the vassal to take the first one back, and so have two Nexuses? In other words, is the restriction against HAVING more than one self-built megastructure at a time? Or against BUILDING more than one, period? If you lose a megastructure in a war, can you build a replacement?

I believe it's against BUILDING more than one. Otherwise, as you state there would be many ways to circumvent the limit.

Edit: This is my interpretation of their wording, not from experience.

After a bit of testing : No

Even releasing your vassal after giving him you megastructures will not allow you to build another one

Thank you again

While playing on an Older version 2.1 I captured a second one from an enemy they hadn't quite finished it yet. I already had one building in stage two the game let me keep the second one even though it wasn't completed yet.

[Foxtrot39]

Captured structure dont count toward your cap, but the builder's cap

So by doing so you just denied an empire all acces to said structure as they're not allowed to make another one

[Kazeck]

And this is why I like gigastructural enhancement, since the limit feels arbitrary to me.

But yes the limit is building, so you can deny the enemy their structure for the rest of the game this way.

[Covargo]

Ok cool. I have three now.

OMG ITS A ZOMBIE FROM 2018 KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
All jokes aside all these years(and 3k+ hours) later I forgot i asked this question now I just let empires start as many of there megastructures as they can if they last long enough for the extra boost to my empire sometimes waiting decades for them to finally start the good stuff
