The Culture Orbital Rings - any mods?

Help

Firstly, apologies if this has been asked before but I’ve not been able to find anything.

I’m a big fan of Iain Banks’ novels surrounding ‘The Culture’ and would like Culture-style orbital ring habitats in my game. Are they any mods that add anything similar?

For clarity, Orbitals are different that Ringworlds, being artificial habitats independent of any other body in orbit around a parent star. Ideally they’d be the final upgrade for habitats - a stepping stone to larger megastructures.

Thanks in advance.

Gigastructural Engeneering. Be careful tho, the expirience... isnt for everyone

Sure. Gigastructures has orbital rings, they're a small ringworld around a planet.

Thanks for the suggestion.

However, and I appreciate that this is slightly pedantic on my part, but as Culture Orbitals are not built around another body I was hoping for something visually separate from planets like existing habitats.

The mod also has the [Orbital Elysium] (https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1634233746260316631/53CFC51DD54135422A9BC9DE1981D852ADDA1FE0/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false) which is pretty much a Banks Orbital. You can disable some other structures at the start of the game if you don't want to be ridiculously op late game.

Perfect! Looks like I’ll be using that for my next playthrough.

Thanks everyone.
