Increasing the starbase size/capacity

[IronShio]

I would like to increase the starbase size. For example, a starport should cost 2 instead of 1 in the starbase capacity,
or a mega construction should cost 10. I've tried a lot with

country_modifier and station_modifier
starbase_capacity_mult = X
starbase_capacity_add = X
etc.

Without success. Does anyone have an idea?

Can't be done directly as far as I know.

To do it indirectly, the proper modifier is country_starbase_capacity_add = -1, added as a country modifier. However, that will reduce the amount of Capacity available, so you'll get numbers like 3/-5 in the display. While the math still works properly, this is probably going to be confusing to players.

Unless there's a better workaround that I'm not considering, I don't think there's a good and clean way of implementing this.

Yes, thanks. I also saw this solution. I don't think this is a mass-market solution.
Another idea would be to do this with off-map starbases, but the effort is too high for me...
