How to Mod to Allow Multiple Megastructures in System?

[Miles Invictus]

In the title essentially. I'm trying to mod the megastructures files to allow for multiple megastructures to be built in a single system (I like to play tall). I DON'T want unlimited megastructures, but rather just want to be able to build a Science Nexus and Sentry Array or Art Installation in my home system.

How do I mod this into place? I've tried but keep having the recurring problem of there being repeated megastructures on the same planet (causing obvious visual/clipping issues).

You need to replace the check in this block

custom_tooltip = {
fail_text = "requires_no_existing_megastructure"
has_no_non_gate_megastructure = yes
}

With this

custom_tooltip = {
fail_text = "requires_no_existing_megastructure"
has_any_megastructure = no
}

In every megastructure you want this to apply to.

Thanks for this;


Unfortunately it doesn't fix the problem - still am unable to build a 2nd megastructure in the system.

What's the error if you try?

No error message, game runs fine. The tooltip simply says "cannot build due to existing megastructure"

I'll grab a screenshot, 2 sec

UPDATE - Fixed it; I moved your suggested fixes under "planet_possible" instead of the whole system; seems to have made it work fine!

Thanks bud =)
