No, since this predates the origins mechanic by... quite a few years.

Does it have an origin where you can start in the new ring world?
If not, its a good ideia to add it

So Ive decided to make the alpha public. You can view it here.

I was able to get this mod up and running again by simply replacing the acension perks and tech requirements lines. doesn't appear to have any problems

p0xus - is the anything I, or anyone else, can do to help you with your mod. I miss playing with the epitomé of a tall empire :)

Hi, still eagerly awaiting the mods update - is it coming soon or is it still a way off? I'm also curious whether or not realspace 3.0 will break it? I keep checking every few days to see if there is an update - I guess you really only value how good something is when it is taken away :P

Tada: There's your hotfix

sorry for the lack of response time, I was otherwise engaged in a debate with a coworker over some design elements, it got tense

I messaged you

also an idea where you start in a super ringworld system with all sections colonized, as in a real ringworld they would all be connected, but you still have to colonize the super duper ringworld in the system

plus I had a few other ideas for the mod, for example a super duper Ringworld that's equipped with A sentry array as a starting system, you know, because 12 sections wasn't enough to start with

and I speak perfect English so unlocalized isn't really a problem

fine by me i'm just screwing around with hacks

Its not a hotfix that will fix it. Its an entire rewrite, which the part that spawns the ring is done, so if you want I can give you a file to drop into the mods zip file that will add an unlocalized, unbalanced, ringworld.

Admittedly I wouldn't mind just having the code for the super ringworld fix in 2.0, i do decent coding but this new 2.0 version is completely alien to me

could you possibly release a hotfix for the Super Ringworld Problem?

And for your OCD, I would just build the larger of the rings and not build the smaller. You might have to comment out a line of code though.

Not really. I want to get it done before I have to go back to work on Monday. But idk if it will be or not.

any estimated date? I can play 2.0 with 1.9, it's just that my OCD is killing me whenever I build a super ringworld

I havn't gotten as much done as I would have liked in the past week. But its still comming.

how close are we to a 2.0 release?

Its a problem with the vanilla code. There's some problem when you offset new entities based off of current entities. The problem doesn't happen when you directly spawn every entity directly.

A question, does anyone know how to fix the graphical error where super ringworlds don't link up. This works fine at the moment apart from that.

Well, im actually re-writing the entire mod, and yes, I have a starting system included already.

Alright, GL :)

Feature request; If you have the time, energy, and motivation after completing 2.0 compatibility, I think it'd be cool if this mod included ringworld starting systems ;P

Im still working on it. Im off work next week so I will hopefully be able to finish it then. And, it won't crash the game or anything, but with the 12 segment ringworld it has the same issues as the vanilla ring. However, the 24 segment works just fine. You may need to alter the code to allow you to build only the 24 segment if thats what you want though.

Is it compatable with 2.0? aka the game will allow me to research and build the ringworlds w/o crashing?

Can't wait for this to update, this mod is a must for my isolationist robot collective :)

I also added in a starting system that Im pretty happy about. Its not quite done yet, but just a few more events and I think it would be good.

Dedication to the cause right there!

Over 10k lines of code in the megastructures file alone.

I used another construction method thats alot more code heavy.

Ive already coded all the spawns for all the rings and everything. All the structures are there. I just need to add in the construction restrictions, some techs, a couple more events, the entire localization file, etc...

Regarding the ringworlds not appearing properly; I came across that when I edited this mod for my own use. It seems the game sometimes changes how it reads the files. Instead of each section being offset from the original point, they are instead offset from the previous section.

Othertimes it is the other way around. Trial and error worked it out eventually.

Am sure p0xus will get it sorted, was just surprised the bug occured in the main game tbh (it is their damned code!)

Not yet. Its still pre-alpha. Lots of progress has been made though.

wait so did u make a 2.0 version of this mod yet or no?

"R5: At this point mod or not there really is something wrong when ringworlds are involved."

This.

There is almost something of a twisted beauty to all the shenanigans going on with these 'ring'worlds.

@jupiter878 They are? Well that certiainly makes me feel better. Really, that just means that Paradox will update this version of the mod for me. The different method Im using doesnt seem to be effected. I've actually encountered this glitch before when I was first making the mod. Hopefully this encourages them to actually fix the problem.

It looks like even vanila ringworlds are being glitchy. You may want to wait before paradox fixes this

So, I'm not terribly sure why the super ringworld isnt working correctly. The larger one is however. For now, im going to call this version for 1.9. Im working on a complete redo of this mod that does not have this same problem. It uses a different method of construction. For now, what you should probably do is use a default ringworld as the first ring, then you can use my larger ring, for that works fine.

@mettpawwz Thanks for letting me know. Ill look into it.

Ever since the patch the ringworlds have a graphical bug whereby two sections don't link up properly. The default game ringworlds have the same issue though, so it might just be a bug you can't do anything about, idk. It would be cool if you could fix it with your mod though, I have no idea if that's possible or not.

Update? Please? Really do like super duper ring worlds.

@p0xus Yeah was aware of that, hence not thinking it is possible.

Is the dyson sphere in game then just 3 sections? Might have a play around with it and see what can be done sometime.

Thanks for all the name suggestions, I have a wealth of possible names now. And @MarrV, each solar system is really just a 2D plane, so you need to always think 2D, not 3D. In my mind each of the rings are on a differnet plane from each other for science reasons.

I would like also like to point that "Thus the entire internal surface could be settled upon/built upon." Isn't accurate scientifically. The Entire point of a ringworld is building just the habitable parts of a dyson sphere. Since you get G forces by rotation the structure, you only get suitable G forces near the equator, and then none by the poles. A ringworld was Larry Niven's solution to that issue.

On the name front;
1- Dist: 30 - Segments: 8 Solar Ring World (it is closer to the star)
2- Dist: 45 - Segments: 12 Ring World (it is the default)
3- Dist: 60 - Segments: 16 Super Ring World (your mod name, paying homage)
4- Dist: 75 - Segments: 20 Mass-ive Ring World (Pun, on the solar mass of a star being so great that the Solar Ring World would be too close, I was struggling on this one as it sits between your two sizes)
5- Dist: 90 - Segments: 24 Superduper Ring World (again paying homage)
6- Dist: 105 - Segments: 28 Prime Ring World (Can be switched with 7, Primary Feat of the Empire/Civilisation)
7- Dist: 120 - Segments: 32 Collosal Ring World (Collosal being one of the largest terminologies for size, the name normally inspires awe) (n.b. I had modified your mod to do this size, you do get slowdown in later game from it)

I do not think it is possible, but have always thought it would be "interesting" if you could combine a ringworld with a dyson sphere (not how it is done in this game).

The resource cost would be eye watering, but basically enclosing a star in a structure within the "habital zone" distance of the star (depends on star type, but whatever would work ingame).

Thus the entire internal surface could be settled upon/built upon.

Am 90% sure it is outside of the bounds of what is possible in stellaris, but thought would share a thought with you guys.

will submit my own name suggestions, in no particular order. Take em or leave em :)

Collosal ringworld
Mammoth ringworld,
Huge ringworld
Monsterous ringworld
Behemoth ringworld
Modest ringworld
Meager ringworld
Immense ringworld
Inhabitable ringworld
Lucious ringworld
Artificially heated/cooled ringoworld

Perhaps if you feel up to it we could get some ringworld planetary modifiers as well :)
