[Sister threads: Ecumenopolis rework | Building/job changes ]
With the Dev Diary #190, we learned that the next update will come with new Industrial districts, including new Industrial ringworld segments. In this thread I will describe my concept for how these Industrial segments could function.
Note: I've updated this thread to account for the increased number and reduced size of ringworld segments.
1. Industrial segments
Industrial segments would produce base +8 Metallurgist and +8 Artisan jobs. Much like in my job shifting suggestion and my Ecumenopolis rework, these jobs could be shifted with 2 planetary decisions capable of applying 5 focus modifiers (each decision shifting 4 jobs per district), and more jobs can be added with Forge and Factory buildings (+4 jobs per district with each upgrade)
Here is how many jobs per segment would be produced with every configuration:
Like on Ecumenopoli, Rogue Servitors will have the same base jobs as organic empires and default to Minor Military Focus, while other Gestalts will simply produce base +16 Foundry Drone jobs, building up to +24 Foundry Drone jobs with T3 Forges.
There's however some worry that allowing ringworlds to focus fully on alloys would render Ecumenopoli obsolete. A way to address this could be to remove the higher focus tiers, and having Ringworlds only use 3 focus settings like on regular planets.
This would result in maximum amount of pops working a single job capping at 20 per segment, with 4 jobs always staying behind:
Either way, I'm open to shifting some numbers as necessary, so feedback is welcome.

Major Military Focus: +4 Metallurgist, −4 Artisan
Minor Military Focus: +2 Metallurgist, −2 Artisan
None: No effect
Minor Civilian Focus: +2 Artisan, −2 Metallurgist
Major Civilian Focus: +4 Artisan, −4 Metallurgist
T2 Forge: +1 Metallurgist
T3 Forge: +2 Metallurgist
T2 Factory: +1 Artisan
T3 Factory: +2 Artisan
Here is how many jobs per segment would be produced with every configuration:
