My first ringworld!

unless it's changed in gold,
ordinary miners - 1000
monoliths - 900 each
3 of each OM - 3000 min 3000 org 3000 rad. tot 9000
9 mon - 8100 min 8100 org 8100 rad. tot 24300
divide monoliths by 2-3 depending on your construction for fast gain - 9000/12150 or 9000/8100
so, unless it's going to take 3 or more turns to build a monolith and you need the resources now, go for the monolith.

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.

Ruatha, I only have one suggestion:

Build up the population on the ring world!

Load up them thar wagons and head to the promised land! YeeHaaaa!!!

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've been thinking about temporal, but the ai is to easy already
