Yes, you have to get the message "Our scientists have detected a plasma instability ... will explode in 3.0 years"

When you get this message, I kinda tried it out, did some sloppy math and found that I would have to have a pre-buildt space yard ship with Space Yard III, move it to the star that turn, and begin constructing a base with the ringworld component that turn. 1.7 years before completion, emergency has to be turned on. Or else it wouldn't be ready in time.

Of course the other components would also be needed, but they don't take as long to build.

Just to save face here, I'll add a YMMV.
