Narf......
Unless you have very high bonuses it will take 3 turns to build a monolith, while Mineral III's can be built in 1 turn (with a shipyard).
Since the game probably will be over before you have filled up the ringworld anyway (100 + turns), it's better to go with miners only.
But I would add a Value improvement plant (or two) as soon as possible.

Oh yah. And if you plan on building more than 1 ringworld make sure to save the queue so you don't have to manually enter all those again.

yeah, your right. but i like construction bonuses, so for me the monolith is better. i used to like the pop bonuses, but get a few 8000 worlds and you don't need that.

Yah. I ussually do monoliths on my ringworlds... but then I normally go for temporal with almost full construction bonuses. Makes for an interesting race specially early game when you have to NOT build as fast as you can or you run outa resources.

I usually build nothing but Monoliths once I have Stellar Manipulation 3. They are much much more productive than normal miners.
