Matter decompressor

[Hawkwolf]

Basic jist, I got the materials and several black holes to pick from, but it won't let me build it anywhere. I don't see where I am supposed to build it either. So my question is, am I missing something or is it a bug?

I'm having the same problem. I have multiple black holes but I can't seem to place a matter decompressor anywhere. When I try to build any other megastructure there's a little palcement halo I need to click on. With the matter decompressor there's nothing. I disbanded the research station, I dismantled the black hole observatory at the nearby starport, but I still can't build the thing.

You need the Megacorp DLC.

You need also destroy any research/mining station on that black hole

Assuming you own Megacorp, have you tried right-clicking on the black hole with your construction ship selected (after dismantling any research station there) and selecting "Build Megastructure"?

• 5000 Alloys & 300 Influence
• Galatic Wonders ascension perk
• Megacorp DLC
• a black hole that has no orbital station, within your controlled space
• no other megastructure being constructed in your empire

I've found that once conditions are met to build, the halo doesn't appear but you can still click on it to build

Can't figure out which of the above criteria I'm not meeting. If I select the constructor ship and click on the "build megastructures" the matter decompressor isn't greyed out. I have more than enough of all the requisite materials as well as multiple systems with black holes, none of which have research stations. I'm able to build a strategic coordination site which has identical requirements (sans the black hole).

If I right click on any of the black holes in my space, the only options are "build research station" and "enter orbit". I remain convinced I'm overlooking something, but for the life of me I can't figure out what. Hate to submit a bug request for what's probably user error...

This is it, the sprites are overlaying. Thank you!
