Ive to rework all guides, I want to do it with an external wiki page when I have time.

Is it possible to make your own spectral ringworlds when you have the spectrals civic and origin(synthetic gods)? I've noticed there's no option to make spectral ringworlds for myself.

Right now there isnt a way, and I dont really plan anything specific to that.
Maybe terraforming normal ringworlds to spectralic ringworlds can be an option =)

I was wondering because it would make sense that the spectrals could make spectral ringworlds that state in the description "forged by the spectrals", I was just wondering. Great mod btw, been using it a lot lately, it's really fun :D
