A quote from the DD on megastructures:
Also, much like the Ringworlds already in the game, you are not the first civilization to conceive of the idea of Megastructures, and you may encounter ancient, ruined Megastructures while exploring.
But I've found nothing in the game or the files indicating that such ancient megastructures can be encountered.

would love to know this as well.
Yet to encounter ruined megastructures beyond broken ringworld which was there from base game.

The trailer seemed to suggest that we might find these in the void. Mildly sad if it turns out to not be the case.

It was probably pushed to 1.6. I seem to recall Wiz talking about some stuff that didn't make it and would come in the next patch. I'd have to re watched the release stream to get the specifics.
