Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
TDM' AI uses all available racial buildings, computer viruses (Cue Cuppa build nasty CV+AS ships  ) Some races also put master computers to help the crew. True, AI cannot make pure MC ships and only uses MC as a gimmick. It is possible to make AI build Monoliths - simply restrict the research of extractors/mines/farms to level 1 and force AI to research several levels of monolithes ASAP and it will build them !

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
I believe I have seen at least one of the TDM races use 'ancient' techs too, it isn't too difficult to make them use them if they don't though.

The Cue Cappa in the default AI will build psycic training facilities. Since these affect the entire system, it's fairly effective. |

I know the Namovans will use temporal facilities, and I am fairly certain I have gotten the AI to use religious facilities in the past, but I will have to verify that.
As for Monoliths, once the AI researches stellar manipulation 3, it will use a monolith in place of any level 1 resource extractor. My races are usually set up to research mineral extraction to higher levels but not organics or radioactives. That way, when they get stellar manipulation 3, all the calls for organic or radioactive facilities will get build a monolith.

I've seen the TDM Norak use Religeous facilities, and I've had the Zorians use them.

I've seen the TDM Sergetti use Massive Planetary Shield Generators.

Re: What tech does the AI not use and why?
I've seen the default AI use stellar manipulation as well as unique facilities. They can be modded to use pretty much everything else except:
Master Computers (properly)
Remote resource extractors (they can put them on ships, but they just won't use them)
Build ringworld & sphereworld components (not that the AI ever reaches the point at which it's reasonable anyway)
