Gigamass Ship components missing in action

from GalCiv4 Forums

Try as I might, I can't get gigamass ship components to show up in games.  I have uninstalled and switched between insiders and default.  Using the ship designer from the game launch screen, sometimes the components are there, sometimes they aren't. If I design a ship in the designer when gigamass components are shown, that ship won't be available or even listed in game.  

The more I change something, the more I get a different result.  I tried turning off Megastructures but no help. Turning off, moving stuff etc. I'm going to reinstall again because there is nothing else I can do right now. I looked for a file having the components but I didn't find it. It's not good, given the direction of the game to be without gigamass components so any help would be much appreciated.

First Gigamass is part of the Mega Structure DLC so turning it off will not help.

No Mega DLC none of the Giga mass features.

Have you unlocked the tech that allows the part?

I asked because you did not mention that in your post.

The components are also trait dependant now, so you will not see all of them at once in a given game. Maybe that's what is happening to you ? You should also see the components listed on the tech tree under the appropriate mega structure technology.

To unlock them all for all species you will have to use a mod or a set of mods found on the gc4 modding website like: UP_MBC_GigaShipComponentForAll, UP_MBC_NexusAugmentsForAll and UP_MBC_GigaImprovements.

Thanks Gypsy for taking the time to offer help.  I use almost all the mods (thank you moders, you rule) but I didn't have the 3 mods highlighted by Draver below. It appears my game is fixed by adding them but  I have to play long enough to find out for sure.

Updating my mods and adding the 3 you mentioned seems to have fixed my game.  Awesome!  Thanks for the help.
