In my most recent game I wanted to explore what it would be like to create new planets from scratch. So I researched all the Stellar Manipulation technologies. Now, I'm sure most of you know that there is very little information in the manual as well as the help file itself. It took me a LONG time to figure out that I need to build 41 starbases, load them with the materials and components before I make it.

bbq, one other thing to note is that you do not need to build 41 bases to make a sphere world. You only need 21. One for the sphereworld generator itself, then 10 for the cables and 10 for the plates. That is 20,000KT of cable components and 20,000KT of plate components.

Then for a ringworld you only need 11 bases. Or just 10,000KT of each component.

But as everyone else as mentioned it is a good idea to read through the FAQ. It is far more detailed then anything in the game.
