How to find my gateway construction site

[JuanitoRUS]

I built a gateway construction site and forgot where it is. How to find it?

You cant, I have requested to add an icon for it in the suggestion forums and a lot of people actually liked the idea, but the devs didnt respond to it yet. I dont know sometimes why are so very easy to implement features arent made instantly which would make life so much more easier. Tbh nobody asked for a popup about when the Gateway is finished, its useless if you close the popup, you need to see them on the galaxy map.

Probably check the border systems. Then check the shipyards. If you built it somewhere other than those locations, its probably OK to assume you forgot as an act of economic self-protection.

Doesn't the construction of a gateway site make a small Megastructure icon appear next to the system name? Or is that only once the site has been transformed into a functional gateway??? Hmmm I might not be of any help here after all...

I wish constructing one created the red "inactive gateway" icon, like completing one does the white "active gateway" icon.

That is exactly my suggestion. See the link to my suggestion thread:

If you're into mods, this one does exactly what you want.

Thank you, you saved my life

Since I found this on google and maybe other people will wind up here: before you install a mod that turns off achievements, check your inactive construction ships. Did you maybe leave it where it started the project?

 

[leftkeh]

It has now been two years (almost) since this suggestion was made! Thankfully, @redcartel82 brought it to the surface. PDX, plz PLZ do something about it; it sounds so easy to solve... (just add the red gateway icon as suggested above)

Does anyone know if this works with 2.8.x?

 

[Prisoner881]

OK, finally got Gateway Construction tech and I can confirm this works with 2.8.x.

Now, PDX devs...how about you get around to implementing this yourselves so we don't need a mod to do something you should've included in the first place?

What I do to not lose it I upgrade it immediately. Although I think that there should be something showing it when you don’t have the resources.

when i did not have resources to build the gateway immediately i bind the construction side to keys 1 to 0. i never use it otherwise anyway.

That's what I do so I don't lose track. However, there are times when I lack the resources to do it immediately. In those cases, I try to leave the construction ship idle in the system as a reminder but that's a poor use of a ship.

The fix is to use the "Gateway Icons - Construction Notification" mod. It puts an inactive gateway icon on the galaxy map, which is what PDX should've done in the first place.

+1 to this - forgot that I had to manually upgrade them. Don't want to use mods as I would like to get achievements.

Thanks

i think only psionic should be able to know where they left a costruction site , as all other races can't ask Cthulhu the darkest lost secret of the galaxy .

 

[Chuunibyou Imouto]

4 years later and this is still an issue lol

 

[ZomgK3tchup]

Legend has it that he's still searching for that gateway construction site to this very day.
