Re: Ringworlds
Currently, the default config has a ringworld equivalent to five large planets and a sphereworld equivalent to ten. Yes, the real numbers should be in the thousands. But think... a single planet has a single build queue. It would take centuries of game time to fill one of these worlds with facilities.  You can change the default settings though. I don't know what the limits are, but I bumped ringworlds and sphereworlds up to 5 and 10 'huge' planets instead of 'large' in my custom set. 80 Billion standard for a sphereworld and 250 facilities, going up to 96 Billion and 300 facilities for a race with 'advanced storage techniques'. |

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!)
