Where Have Megastructures Gone?

[SnuffSaid]

On my construction ship I only have the options to build the new planetary orbital ring, hyper relay and habitats. Where are the rest? I haven't played in a while so might have missed an update when they were moved?

Edit: I've got the mega-engineering tech, galactic wonders ascension perk etc.

does your etc include having researched them?

Like I said, I've got the mega-engineering tech. It's a requirement for galactic wonders, which I also have. The list of mega-structures on the construction ship is the same three it was at the start of the game. I've reconstructed the Cybrex ringworld, but can't build any mega-structures of my own. At least not with a construction ship...

Mods?

Every Megastructure requires it's own tech research. Megaengineering only unlocks the ability to repair Megastructures, and Galactic Wonders only unlocks the ability to research Ring Worlds, Dyson Spheres, and Matter Decompressors, not to build them.

Also, how did you the galactic wonders perk if you can't build a megastructure? Unless they changed it, that perk requires building any of the other multi-stage sturctures.

Probably had a ruined megastructure they either started with or found, which repaired to full after they got mega-engineering.

This is correct. Once you research Mega-engineering you can only repari existing megastructures you find. Each mega structure has its own mandatory tech you must first complete. Galactic wonders perk will place the Dyson sphere, Ringworld, and Matter Decompressor as guaranteed techs every roll, So once you research them they should appear in your mega structure build list.

Yeah this was the issue. It's all working as intended, I was just out of the loop.

I've forgotten a few times myself, it's a bit counter-intuitive I admit

And what should I do if research for the matter decompressor has never shown me? I'm playing the second game since buying Megacorp DLC and I have no idea how to get to this megastructure (I'll build everything else without a problem). I've been researching bonus technologies for a long time, so it won't be a problem.

did you take the galactic wonders ascension perk? it should be a guaranteed tech once you take that. might have to scroll down to see it when picking a physics research

It needs to be built on a black hole, which for some reason it doesn't tell you on it's description. Quantum catapult doesn't say it needs building around a pulsar either.

[Elitewrecker PT]

You still need to research it so the fact that it needs to be built on a black hole is only a subsequent concern.

With the ascended perk, research has already emerged, thanks. It never occurred to me that it would be hidden under a perk, and instead (after reading the wiki) I tried in vain to find the right place to build it..
