Hyper Relay
Hyper Relay is a megastructure in Stellaris 4.5.2. Must be built outside a system's gravity well. It needs the Hyper Relays technology. All stages take 1 year (the costs every empire pays).
Where to build a Hyper Relay
The game's own requirement line, then the conditions of the first stage (possible) and of the planet or star it goes around (placement_rules).
Must be built outside a system's gravity well.
- When from (Not: Nomadic empire)
- The system has a starbase
- Cannot build outside Empire or Subject borders.
- Otherwise
- Requires the system is on a Wayline with a Wayport or Wayhold, or within Subject borders.
- Cannot build in systems that have not been surveyed.
- Cannot build due to existing Hyper Relay.
- Requires technology Hyper Relays.
- This system does not have any Hyperlanes.
Hyper Relay stages
Cost lines with a condition apply only to the empires it names (bio-ship empires pay food instead of part of the alloys).
How it's counted
Totals in the head count only the costs every empire pays: none.
Hyper Relay
Though useless on its own, a chain of Hyper Relays allows fast travel between adjacent systems.

Other versions of the Hyper Relay
Ruins the galaxy can start with or a war leaves behind (restoring one is its own chain of stages) and upgrades that branch off the main line.

This ruined structure was once part of a chain of Hyper Relays allowing fast travel along its route.
