I am not sure the maintenance is working either. 

  • If I build small ship design X it has a maintenance of 4 / turn.
  • Then I attach the Stellar Forge with an implied 30% maintenance discount and build an identical ship, it still has a maintenance of 4 / turn.

What am I missing?

I'm seeing the same issue.  Near as I can tell, the Stellar Forge does nothing.  Doesn't increase HP or lower maintenance.

I am unable to duplicate your success with the Stellar Forge.  It doesn't work for me.  I am convinced we have differing versions of the game, but dam-if-I-know how.  I base this reasoning on the fact that the Stellar Forge displayed in your video shows +10% Hit points AND +10% maintenance reduction even with zero adjacency bonuses.  The version in my game does not show maintenance reductions until it receives adjacency bonuses.

Steps Taken:

  • Using Steam, delete local copy
  • Cleanse My Documents of Mod content
  • Reinstall game via Steam
  • Launch, test using cheat codes, still broken
  • Scratch head, go back to Steam enable opt_in_update
  • Launch, test using cheat codes, still broken
  • Scratch head, come back to forums again
  • Using Steam, delete local copy (I have a very fast internet connection so WTH)
  • Check steamapps directory, GalCivIII folder still present due to some modded files from Gauntlet's Racial Mods.  Fry these files.
  • Reinstall game via Steam
  • Test etc ... still nada.  My version of the building is still different from yours.  WTH.
  • For what it's worth, my version of the executable is "1.6.1.3"
  • I switched around between v1.61, vip-build and the optn_in_build, with none of those do I see a working Stellar Forge.
