Description
Star Forge

A new megastructure. The Star Forge allows the conversion of large ammounts of energy into minerals, by tapping into the gas reserves of its host star. Sadly it can't automatically produce ships, but it looks damn cool.

Construction info:

Stage 0 (construction site):
1800 days
20000 minerals

Stage 1: (Main hub)
1800 days
20000 minerals

Stage 2: (1/4th complete)
1800 days
20000 minerals

Maintenace: 300 energy.
Production: 160 minerals

Stage 3: (2/4th complete)
1800 days
20000 minerals

Maintenace: 600 energy.
Production: 360 minerals

Stage 4: (3/4th complete)
1800 days
20000 minerals

Maintenace: 900 energy.
Production: 500 minerals

Stage 5: (complete)
1800 days30
20000 minerals

Maintenace: 1200 energy.
Production: 900 minerals.

Build costs are pending fine tuning. Total cost is 120,000 minerals, at 500 minerals per month its payoff is 20 years.

I based my balance on Improved Megastructures which makes megastructures more meaningful given the time and resource investment. Its one-fourth of a full dyson sphere (1200 energy). It's simple enough to edit the file yourself to change the output to an appropriate balance.

Also be sure to check my other mod Stellar Catalyst which pairs alongside this.

Balance

This mod is balanced in conjunction with a future mod I plan on releasing.

Rebalancing the files are as easy as editing a .txt file inside a zip file, so users are more than welcome to adjust it to their liking. Individual mod collections benefit from different balance levels so feel free to experiment!


Compatibility

No base files were modified and no dependencies are required. This mod should be compatible with everything.

You could at least do the bare minimum of research yourself. You can clearly see that it's not been updated in over four years. You can see an ancient UI in the images. There's a bunch of people stating that it crashes, as well as a comment stating that it's for 1.8. If you still think that it's updated for 3.0, you've only yourself to blame.

You guys (including the mod creator) never cease to amaze me. You think people can just read minds and find out that this mod is for 1.8? This isn't even communicated on the mod description. So NO.

This mod Crashes with 3.0 Update.
This warning is for anyone like me, who is looking for a cool mod, but thinks it's compatible because the mod author never put the compatibility version IN THE DESCRIPTION.

All I see is "This mod should be compatible with everything."

This comment section never ceases to entertain me. (And if someone really is asking for an update, no I won't update it. Go get gigastructural engineering, its light years better than anything I could come up with)

No shit. This mod is for Stellaris 1.8, back when the game still had four types of FTL drive and planets consisted of tiles.

It does not work with 2.0.

I think there is a 2.0 version on the workshop though.
