Mega Engineering tech requirements? (2024)

Battleships and Fortesses. Having master builders makes it more likely. Having any megastructure (FE ringworld etc) in your borders makes it vastly more likely.

Wow, I didn't think you would reply to me I am pleasantly surprised tho. Thank you for the information!! In this case, I believe that I should be fairly close to getting this tech - my next perk shall be master builders

What does this tech do?

allows you to get the mega structure ascension perks - so the ones for ring worlds, sentry arrays, science nexi, dyson spheres

I was hoping it would do something on its own as well.

It does have it's own effects, it increases your mineral storage by 20 thousand and increases building construction speed by 50%

You also need Zero Point energy, I think?

I sincerely hope this post implicates that the requirements for Mega-Engineering are bugged and weren't supposed to require Zero Point Reactors (because they do).
Because if Wiz decides to troll people by NOT mentioning the otherwise hidden tech prequesite...

So voidcraft expertise scientist helps as well it seems.

Not having a voidcraft OR

CURATOR scientist cuts the chance to 0.25.
So it's less about 'helping' and more about being a soft requirement.

In addition to this, having a scientist with either Voidcraft or Curator trait assigned to engineering makes it four times as likely.
