are megastructures in the base game?

[jacob]

im playing without DLC but im currently researching a tech that lets me rebuild ruined megastructures.... i control half the galaxy and have surveyed about 5/6 of the galaxy, are megastructures in the base game and are just EXTREMELY rare or did they just not remove that tech from the base game, kinda confused, have an excessive amount of minerals and cant spend them fast enough(maxed out storage 39k and 2.2k gained monthly) if they are in the game i would like to know so i have something to spend minerals on

Ruins are in the base game and are rare.

Only gateways can you build at will.

Like they said, Gateways are the only Megastructure you can build yourself. Megastructures were added with the Utopia DLC, so they were never really needed to remove it from the base game because Gateways.

The only thing that megastructure research is good for in the base game is building/repairing gateways, and if you're lucky; Have the Cybrex storyline as your precursor race in which you can rebuild an entire Ringworld.

Utopia is the one for the megastructures, in case you wondered

You can't build them but they exist.

2 per game on a huge map.

All I can say is that I lost 24 Titans just to get a ringworld.Don't adjust the difficulty to the highest,you'll regret it sometime of the game.

You can increase your storage by adding more storage on your starbases. Each adds increased Storage limit of 2.5K for minerals and energy credits.

There are ringworlds in the base game: Materialist Fallen Empires own a fully working ringworld along with a damaged ringworld which can be repaired*; and there is a low chance that a damaged ringworld will spawn in a random system.

*materialist FE's will repair their ringworlds if they awaken.
