A more complete list of conceptual and existing megastructures, along with a discussion of megastructure criteria, is found under megastructure. Of all the proposed megastructures, only the orbital elevator , [ 5 ] the Lofstrom launch loop , and Martian or lunar space elevator concepts could be built using conventional engineering techniques ...
A megastructure consisting of multiple layers of shells suspended above each other by orbital rings supported by hypothetical mass stream technology. This type of shellworld can be theoretically suspended above any type of stellar body, including planets, gas giants, stars and black holes.
In Gigastructural Engineering & More, a popular modification to the 4X game Stellaris, the Alderson Disk is featured as a buildable megastructure inhabitable by the player.
