Stage numbers start at 0 (under construction) → last_stage (complete).
Example for partial completion: effect = set_megastructure_stage = 3

| Megastructure stuck at 0% progress | Select it → finish_megastructure |
| Missing required celestial body (e.g., no black hole) | Spawn a black hole: planet_class pc_black_hole (on a star) |
| Attack Moon not moving | Ensure it has a propulsion tech. If bugged, damage 10000 to destroy and rebuild via console |
| Birch World not colonizable | Use own while selecting the segment, or populate to add pops | stellaris gigastructural engineering console commands
Gigastructures are expensive. Instead of waiting for 500,000 Alloys, use these core commands.
The most frustrating part of Gigastructures is the build time. A Birch World frame can take 50+ years. Here is how to skip the wait. Stage numbers start at 0 (under construction) →
The mod includes an integrated cheat menu:
⚠️ This disables achievements (but you’re already using console). or populate to add pops |
event aeternum.1
Spawns the Aeternum empire in the Galactic Core (requires a supermassive black hole).
gigastructures_debug_events to see all debug triggers (type into console).Cause: Gigas structures require an initialization event.
Fix: Select the structure and type event giga.2000. This forces the "construction completed" event.
