Megastructures?

[Creeper The 3rd]

Does the console have megastructures yet? I bought the console edition to play with friends, but i can't seem to build megastructes.

I think this comes with Unity, which releases this summer.

Okay, thank you very much. I noticed people where getting achievements related to megastructures, so I was confused.

 

[Biv]

I think you can find and repair them, just not build them.

 

[Creeper The 3rd]

That sounds about right from my PC experience. Probably conquered a fallen empire.

Mega-structures come with the Utopia Expansion and you can only repair damaged ring-world sections

Also, game now have megastructure technology for research, but it give nothing except +20000 of mineral storage.

Im pretty sure it also allows you to repair ring worlds, or it might have been a diff tech

Constructor ships have a "build megastructure" button, it's inactive and tooltip says about required megastructure technology. After researching - still inactive. I was mean this thing.

Can we build habitats on the console version? That would be a megastructure I believe. So confusing with all the previous Stellaris editions, I can't remember what is what.

No megastructure or habitat building available yet, they all need ascension perks to unlock and will come with the Utopia expansion later. Right now you can only conquer a ringworld star system from the materialist fallen empire or find an abandoned destroyed ring world system by random and fix them. The construction ship button for megastructures doesn't have a use right now.

And if we fix those mega constructions can we than use them in one way or another ?

Yeah when you fix ringworld sections or capture a system with ringworld you can colonize or populate them just like other planets. They are really awesome to have as capital, imagine having 4 big Gaia type planets in one star system, 4 close by spaceports building battleships nonstop! Can't wait to fill the galaxy with ringworlds and dyson spheres when they release Utopia!

Yeah, Utopia. That's what I meant.
