How do you build a...

[Kamog]

I've built some sphere worlds but never any ring worlds. I don't want to use up a star by building a ring world so I wait until I research sphere worlds. But I have never played a game long enough to completely fill up the sphere worlds I constructed.

I laboured away for ages to create a planet builder, then I send it to a system made of nothing but asteroids.
"Ha,Ha !" I say "Now I can build a new planet every turn". Instead I get a message informing me I can't do it because there are no stars in the system. Now I have to build a star creator. To avoid further setbacks, can the star be built in empty space, or do I need to use it on a storm or asteroid?.

Earlier it was said "I usually mothball the pating and cable starbases until the "..
To unmothball them costs alot, better to put the queue on hold and restart it one turn before the generator is built.
Ships also costs alot.
Therefore I use lot's of shipyard ships(! Hmm, logical gap here...)
Send one to each star and builds a construction starbase there, that starbase starts construction of the generator base.
Meanwhile 10 ships with spaceyards components zips around to each of these stars and builds 10 new bases with spaceyards, then heads off for the next and the next and the...
These new 10 bases starts construction of the plating and cable bases, put's queue on hold until one turn before the generator is finished.
After that you have a ringworld and 11 construction bases to build weapon platforms and whatever...

To build sphereworlds increse number of bases..

You should be able to build the star where you wish it to be, and you would be able to build a ringworld/sphere world over this star while converting the asteroids into actual planets.

WEll, I finally built a Ringworld Last night. Then i went to bed, as it was 1:00 am. In the next couple of turns, my sphere world should be ready to be completed. Can't wait to see how much of an influence they'll be in my game.

Greg, what happned to JUST ONE MORE TURN? Going to bed at only 1am while playing SEIV is unheard of! Most never go to bed!

LOL SE4 is NOT in his blood (as of yet)

Note that you can not build planets if there is only a sphereworld or ringworld in the system. You need an actual star.

You must have sun to build planets, you can not do so in a Nebula (no sun) distroy the Neb then put a sun then Ring/Sphere world
