Can't build Hypercomms Forum?

[HuntressLilith]

I just learned the tech that gives the Hypercomms Forum building and have searched through all my planets trying to find some place that lets me build it. However, despite having the tech it's not showing up in any build lists even as something I don't have resources for to build.

Anyone figured out how to build this building, or what extras might be required to after unlocking the tech for it?

Obligatory question: Did you try building on your capital planet? Some buildings can only be built there and it's possible hypercomms forum is one of them.

Yeah I tried on my Capital world where I have a Planetary Capital (about to upgrade to Empire Complex), and it still is not showing in my list as something I can build. Which is ridicules because you'd think it would at least show up as something that is greyed out (like anything else you can't build for whatever reason).

Alright, build your empire-capital complex and tell me if you still have the problem. I think capital-specific buildings require empire-capital complex.

I have this same problem

The hypercomms forum can't be build, anywhere.

It's an upgrade for the Autocthon thingy.

You cannot find it in the build list because it is an upgrade to the Heritage Site.

Autochthon Monument -> Heritage Site -> Hypercomms Forum.

The Heritage Site can be upgraded to a Hypercomms Forum on each planet that has at least a Planetary Capital, requiring the technology to do so of course.

After hypercomms forum, you get a godlike building, which gives empire wide unity bonus.

Yeah that was the issue, the tool tip in the techs should really state that the Heritage site and Hypercomms Forum are upgrades to existing buildings.
