Arc Furnace: Equatorial Band
Arc Furnace: Equatorial Band is a megastructure in Stellaris 4.5.2 built in 4 stages. It needs the Arc Furnace technology. All stages take 10 years and 7,500 Unity (the costs every empire pays).
Where to build a Arc Furnace: Equatorial Band
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).
- Cannot build on planets that have unresearched anomalies discovered by us or any other Empire.
- Planet class: Molten World
- Cannot build due to existing Megastructure.
- When from (Controlled by the AI)
- solar system
- count system planet
- Count at least 8
- count system planet
- solar system
- When from (Not: Nomadic empire)
- The system has a starbase
- Cannot build outside Empire borders.
- Otherwise
- Requires the system is on a Wayline with a Wayport or Wayhold.
- When Not: any starbase in system (Is waystation starbase; owner? (Is the same as: the scope that called it))
- Cannot build in systems that have not been surveyed.
- Cannot construct in the same system as an existing Dyson Sphere
- Cannot construct in the same system as an ongoing Dyson Sphere construction
- Cannot construct in the same system as an existing Arc Furnace
- We can not sustain more than … Arc Furnaces at a time
Arc Furnace: Equatorial Band 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: 7,500 Unity.
