| Effect | Command |
| :--- | :--- |
| Unlock ALL megastructures (ignore tech) | effect = every_galaxy_player = set_country_flag = cheat_giga_all_tech |
| Remove build limit | finish_research the tech "Gigastructural Assembly Act" or use effect add_repeatable_research = giga_assembly_act |
| Instantly complete active build queue | effect every_megastructure = set_variable = giga_build_progress = 1 |
Most gigastructures require specific techs. Use these to bypass research:
| Effect | Command |
|--------|---------|
| Unlock all gigastructure techs | research_all_technologies (use sparingly – can clutter) |
| Unlock specific tech (example: Behemoth Planetcraft) | research_technology tech_giga_behemoth_planetcraft |
| Unlock all vanilla + gigastructure techs cleanly | research_technology tech_mega_engineering then research_all_technologies |
Common gigatech IDs:
💡 Tip: Type
research_technologiesfollowed by a partial name (e.g.,tech_giga_) to see all matching techs.
Even with perfect syntax, Gigas commands can fail. Here are the common fixes.
| Want | Command |
|------|---------|
| Unlock everything | research_all_technologies then event giga_cheat_menu.1 |
| Spawn a Systemcraft | Requires combining 3 planetcraft + 1 moon + star. Use create_naval_unit or the cheat menu. |
| Complete a Dyson Sphere | Select sphere → finish_megastructure |
| Remove a bugged structure | Select → effect remove_megastructure = this |
Final advice: Always save before using console commands. Gigastructures are complex – spawning a Birch World in a non-core system can break galactic positioning. Use debugtooltip to verify you’ve selected the right object.

In the vast expanse of Gigastructural Engineering , console commands serve as the "divine tools" of the galaxy, allowing you to bypass the massive time and resource gates of the mod. Whether you're trying to spawn a Matrioshka Brain or instantly finish a Birch World, the console is your best friend. The Master Builder's Toolkit
To use these, open the console with the tilde key (~) and ensure you have the appropriate celestial body (like a star or planet) selected.
instant_build: The most essential command. It toggles instant completion for all constructions and upgrades. Warning: This also applies to AI empires, so use it only while the game is paused.
create_megastructure [ID]: Spawns a megastructure in the selected system. Common mod-specific IDs include matrioshka_brain_0 or dyson_sphere_0.
finish_research: Instantly completes all active research, including the critical Mega-Engineering tech required for most gigastructures. Giga-Resource Cheats
Gigastructural Engineering adds several unique resources that can be hard to accumulate. You can use specific event triggers to grant millions of these instantly: Resource Console Command All Resources event grc_everything.1 Planetary Mass event planetary_mass.1 Quasaric Energy event quasaric_energy.1 Sentient Metal event sentient_metal.1 Negative Mass event negative_mass.1 Manipulating the Galactic Core
The mod adds massive potential to the center of your galaxy. You can force its state using these global flags:
Activate Quasar: effect set_global_flag = giga_core_qso (for the Quasi-Stellar Obliterator). | Effect | Command | | :--- |
Deactivate Quasar: effect set_global_flag = giga_core_birch (to allow Birch World construction). Triggering Mod-Specific Crises
If you want to test your gigastructures against the mod's unique end-game threats, use these triggers: The Storm Cluster: effect begin_crisis_scluster = yes The Prime Flesh: effect begin_crisis_PF22 = yes Cybrex Resurgence: begin_crisis_cycris = yes
Pro-Tip: If you're unsure of an ID (like for an Ascension Perk), type the command (e.g., activate_ascension_perk) and then press Tab to see a full list of available options.
The Gigastructural Engineering & More mod for Stellaris introduces dozens of massive structures that require immense resources and time to complete. Using console commands allows you to skip these requirements, spawn specific structures instantly, or trigger unique mod events. Essential Global Console Commands
These vanilla commands are frequently used with the mod to facilitate rapid construction:
instant_build: Instantly completes all construction, including megastructures, ships, and buildings. Tip: Pause the game before using this, as it also affects AI empires.
research_all_technologies: Unlocks every tech in the game, including mod-specific techs like Tetradimensional Engineering.
debug_tooltip: Hover over a system or planet to see its internal ID, which is often required for specific spawning commands. 💡 Tip: Type research_technologies followed by a partial
activate_ascension_perk [perk_id]: Unlocks perks like "Galactic Wonders" or "Gigastructural Constructs" without needing a free slot. Spawning Specific Gigastructures
To spawn a structure, select the target celestial object (star or planet) and type:create_megastructure [id] Common Mod IDs include: Birch World: create_megastructure birch_world_0 Matrioshka Brain: create_megastructure matrioshka_brain_0 Nicoll-Dyson Beam: create_megastructure nicoll_dyson_0 Star Lifter: create_megastructure star_lifter_0 Mod-Specific Event Triggers
Gigastructural Engineering uses custom events to handle complex features like the Galactic Core or unique crises. Discover Galactic Core: event giga_mega.402.
Set Core to Birch World: effect set_global_flag = giga_core_birch.
Set Core to Quasi-Stellar Obliterator: effect set_global_flag = giga_core_qso. Trigger Mid-Game/End-Game Crises: Cybrex Resurgence: begin_crisis_cycris = yes. The Compound: event compound.1. Blokkat Crisis: event blokkat.1. Resource & Economy Cheats
If you prefer to build manually but lack the specialized resources introduced by the mod, use these event-based resource injections: Gain 1M All Mod Resources: event grc_everything.1. Sentient Metal: event sentient_metal.1. Negative Mass: event negative_mass.1. Quasaric Energy: event quasaric_energy.1. Stellaris: Unlock All Technologies Cheat Guide - Ftp
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.
Sometimes you don't want to build from scratch—you want a fully operational Attack Moon right now.
