How do I make the AI use Monoliths instead of the other resource generators?
The reason I ask is that to get to the System Mineral Scanner, I must research through the Mineral Miner Facility III....which out-produces the Monolith III. I don't see any way, unless its hardcoded in the game, for the AI to make the decision to choose Monolith III over Mineral Miner Facility III.
I also don't see any way to refit a planet....
You are right, if you have Mineral Extraction 3 or higher the AI will build Mineral Miner Facilities. The only way (in the unmodded game) to have the AI build Monoliths is not to research higher levels of resource extraction. If for example you have Rad. Ex. 2 and Stell. Manip. 3 the AI will build Monoliths on your Refining Colonies.
If you want to mod the game you can add a useless ability to the monoliths and then use that in the FacilityConstruction file to have the Monolith built.
I am not sure what you mean by refit planets. If you mean scrapping old facilities to build new ones. No, the AI won't do that.
