Mega Shipyard
Mega Shipyard is a megastructure in Stellaris 4.5.2 built in 4 stages. Each empire can only build one Megastructure. It needs the Mega Shipyard technology. All stages take 20 years and 10,000 Unity (the costs every empire pays).
Where to build a Mega Shipyard
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).
Each empire can only build one Megastructure.
- Cannot build around Protostars.
- Must build around a star.
- Cannot build on planets that have unresearched anomalies discovered by us or any other Empire.
- The system has a starbase
- Cannot build outside Empire borders.
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
- Cannot build in systems that have not been surveyed.
- Cannot build around Black Holes, Neutron Stars or Pulsars.
- Cannot build this in Binary or Trinary systems.
Mega Shipyard 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: 10,000 Unity.
Mega Shipyard Site
The construction site station serves as the base for the future construction of a Mega Shipyard.

Mega Shipyard Core
The core of the Mega Shipyard contains much of the infrastructure required to move and process the vast quantities of materials needed to supply the production berths.

Mega Shipyard
With a multitude of ship-production berths supplied from a hyper-efficient processing core, the Mega Shipyard's output eclipses that of any other Starbase.
