Ring/Sphere World
 

I am 1.2 yrs form completing all my components for my first Ringworld. I read the FAQ for Newbies and my question is not answered, any input would be appreciated.

I have 8 populated worlds around the star I am building my ringworld on, will those planets be destroyed with the completion of the ringworld or will they continue to function normally?

If I am a rock/oxygen race the ringworld will also be rock/oxygen correct?

Thank you for your input.

Re: Ring/Sphere World
 

Your planets will be unharmed, and as a side benefit will now be impervious to star destroying ships in that system.

Yes, the atmosphere type of your new ringworld will be the same as your population - in this case rock/oxygen.

Congratulations on your first ringworld.

Slick.

however, if you have any un-planetted asteroid fields in the system, you'd better use them before the ringworld is built because (unless you have multiple stars in the system) the planet-builder component will stop working in that system once the ringworld is completed.

Re: Ring/Sphere World
 

Also, solar panels, solar sails (IIRC), and solar collection arrays or whatever those resource-generating crystalline thingies are will also stop working.

Yea, but look at the Planet you will be getting http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Although you could consider to make them in a nearby Asteroid System after you colonized it or mined it (or not).

or purge a Nebula or Black hole, Place a new Sun and put the Ring world there.

Wait, you don't get planets when you use a sun-maker? how sad. :-(

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Has anyone ever tried using a planet-destroying bomb (Tectonic Bomb, I believe it's called), on a ringworld? Do you get Asteroids, your old sun back, maybe Asteroids orbiting a sun? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">...couldn't you just build another sun, in the same system where you you build the ringworld? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Ring/Sphere World
 

Planet boms don't work on Ring/Sphere worlds as it's not really a planet.
And there is still a sun in the system so you can't make another one, you can only make a sun if there is no sun already in the system.

re: destroying ringworld or sphereworld - you actually can do it but you need to mod a new component into the game with appropriate settings. When it is destroyed, i think someone said you get a single asteroid field and thats it. not sure tho.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You are absolutely right: you get a huge asteroid field.
