Nicoll Dyson beam

[SeñorF1re]

If anyone has this mod and has successfully shot it, if you could please explain how in Zues's butthole do you shoot this thing. I cant figure out how to set a planetary target or whatever. Any help would be appreciated. Ty

You place a marker over a planet. Markers are found in the megastructure menu, but your construction ship doesn't actually need to reach the target planet. And once a marker has been placed, you go to your NDB and press the giant button labeled FIRE!.

If you want to destroy a system, you will need to actually head over and build a wormhole generator.

Awesome ty, couldn't figure it out for nothing

word of warning if your building the marker while it doesn't have to arrive in the system any systems between the con ship and the target must be clear of inhibitors why i don't know but its a quirk i just learned about

That is because Stellaris assumes the construction vessel needs to actually reach the target system.

ah that makes sense

By chance were you able? I just did one playthrough where I build it and can't find it also

I think the marker only appears in the mega structure list if you already prepped the cannon to fire.
Its then a pain to find the marker in the list with the sheer number of mega structures.

Everyone is confusing the NDB with the QSO - the Quasi Stellar Obliterator. The NDB has no marker, the QSO does, or so I have been told. With the NDB you simply pick your target from its menu.

That's a recent change. The NDB used to make use of markers as well.

The NDB is bugged - ita menus does not list all possible targets.

For the NDB you need to select the mega structure and manage it. It should then bring up a window that acts like a contact window when talking with other empires. If i remember correctly you then go through the following windows.

You select a target type which your options are Hostile(enemy empires, raiders), Neutral(Empires that aren't at war or allied to you), Unowned (systems which no one controls), or friendly (yourself and your allies).

You then select a star type it will then list all systems using that type you will then select the specific system you want to fire on. So you'll need to know what class of star your target has and then the system's name to use the NDB menu.

You can then select if you want to destroy the system or a specific planet. If you choose planet then you'll need to tell it what planet you want it to destroy.
It should be noted that the system does not bring up every star system such as those in the L-cluster, the Cohesive star system, or many of the added systems introduced by this mod.

The NDB also has a habit of causing your game to crash if you destroy systems that have mega-structures built in them.
