Obscure, unintuitive and unforgiving

[Alneyan]

*Points at the NGC5 game, and glowers at Ruatha* Do not expect to deceive me. You have been building Monoliths at your Ringworlds and Sphereworlds there! As such, your query can only be a ploy to trick me into revealing important intelligence about how I use the products of my imperial ego.

I would only build the basic resource facilities at any planet, including Ringworlds and Sphereworlds. Once the planet is filled up, I start scrapping one facility to replace it with a Monolith; it takes a lot micromanaging, but gives a decent resource production while waiting for Monoliths. At least, I ideally do that; more often than not I lack the patience to make such changes, and tend to leave my basic resource facilities.

Since Ringworlds take 120 turns to be filled (assuming Advanced Storage and one facility per turn), plus quite a few turns to build them, I will seldom come anywhere making the switch to Monoliths. But then, I mostly use Ringworlds to show off and to make myself secure from Star Destroyers, so.
