Default Ringworld Creation Dire Confusion

Okay, oracles, help me out here:

I have a system where I have created:

10 cablemaker starbases (each worth 2,000kt cables)

10 plate making starbases (each worth 2,000kt plating)

a medium average star, circling it I have:

(1)ringer class starbase with a ringworld placement generator.

Why can I still not construct a ringworld??? help is appreciated.

thanks

They are all in the STAR's sector, right? And unmothballed?

circuling the star looking really nice, and useless.

Star is a medium average medium star. Have tried ringworld make right on top of it and one sprite block away. Still nothing.

I don't know if this is the cause (I even doubt it) but you build too may cables and platings! For ringworlds you only need 5 each!
Do you get to the menu stellar manipulation? Or where exactely you get stopped?

It dosn't matter IF you have too many BUT they ALL have to be in the star sector go to the stelar manip (?) and hit construct

From your description , It sounds like you built them around the star? if so - start over and build them in the same sector as the star.
