Re: Ringworlds
If anyone has built and populated a ring/sphere world, would you please share the steps you took?

Re: Ringworlds
Yep this is a bug that was found in the beta too. Your best bet is to create one on a already existing star, I think creating one is what was causing the problems. Iv'e put up quite a few ringworlds and only run into this problem a couple times. To be honest, I doubt ring/sphereworlds will be any use in multi as they are so time consuming, but building them in single is great for the wow factor, not to mention the huge facility, population, cargo space.

Re: Ringworlds
Well, I have built a ringworld! And colonized it too! It does take an immense amount of time, but wow!
I built a couple planetary improvement facilities, a space yard and filled it with monolith facilities. As it ages, it become more and more impressive. (I think the Last time I looked at it was producing 20k of every resource!)

Re: Ringworlds
ok I have a small question, With Sphereworlds, If you have one, and it encases the sun,(as sphereworlds do) once you build it, technically shouldnt all the rest of the planets in the system change to ice? with the sphere soaking up all solar energy?
just a thought.
