Shroud Tunnel.

[Dave]

Is it ever going to actually work or did they just decide to release a broken function and leave it that way?

[Meewec]

isn't that just the artificial wormhole back to the speakers of the shroud's system that you can buy off of them?

[Razorblade]

It has worked flawlessly since Overlord released. What issue are you having?

[Sero]

How does it not work?
You speak like it's a well known issue.

[HappySack]

Did you break it with mods and are assuming it's broken for everyone else?

[Supply Slut]

It’s worked the 3 times I’ve used it. Are you not building the shroud beacon to activate it? There’s a step that is not the most intuitive.

After buying or being gifted the shroud beacon you must build it in a starbase, it takes like 2 years in game to complete and then basically a wormhole to the shroud walker home system appears.

I build up the necessary reputation with the Shroudwalkers or whatever the hell they're called and I build the thing necessary to create the tunnel at a station. And then I still can't go through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tunnel. I've tried in two separate saves with no success. So what am I doing wrong or am I just one of the unlucky few who got ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over?

That is strange… just a thought, but is the destination system inside another empire that has closed borders with you?

That would make sense but no. When new content is released and doesn't necessarily require other AI on the map to be present, I scale the empire number down significantly so they won't be able to interfere with me trying to mess with stuff. So there were no AI empires in my way in either of these saves.

[Razorblade]

Are you sending your ships to the correct system? The Shroud Tunnel connects to the Shroudwalkwer home system, which is likely not the first Shroudwalker enclave you encountered.

Hmm. The only known issue I could find is that the shroud tunnel won’t work if it’s built within the L cluster, though it’s unclear if that’s still a problem. Also I don’t remember reading that this was a requirement but is your primary species latent or full psionic? Perhaps that’s needed to use it?

I would submit a bug report to paradox. This definitely isn’t a common issue but it’s possible there’s a specific bug preventing the tunnel from working in your save.

Yes I saw exactly which system the tunnel connected to. I just couldn't use it with any type of ship whether civilian or military.

L-Cluster wasn't involved at all. And I didn't have any psionics in my empire either time.

How are you trying to go through it? What exactly are you doing and what happens?

First I tried right clicking the tunnel directly like the first time a wormhole is being investigated by a science ship. That would open the wormhole and all free passage if the other side isn't hostile. Then I tried selecting the space in the connecting system itself. The ships didn't respond to directly clicking on the tunnel and when clicking on the space instead they just made a beeline for the nearest hyperlane to make their way to that system.

Have you tested the origin starting in contact with the shroud walkers and building it, as that is the only time i have built it and it always worked. Also did you destroy the beacon on the starbase after building it as that stops it working.
