There is a book called "The Bridge: A Science Fiction Survival Story" that actually explores this idea. But it's a huge ship, not a ring world. Well worth 3$...

The Bridge
They're on a crippled multi-generational ship, not a colony world, but similar concept.
Hmm...the cheapest thing I have on my WL (I think) is a book written by a redditor.
It looks good, and seems to have great reviews, so if you ever read it, let me know!
>"No Josh, concentrate! Thinner, more accurate!"
>
>Instructor Peregrine flashed beside Josh the flamethrower, putting a hand under the bottom of the boy's elbow, redirecting a stream of fire slightly upwards. The target at the other end of the gym was a piece of white paper, six inches by six inches, with a red frame around it.
>
>"Remember, you must only hit the inner target!" He commanded, as fire splashed across both red and white paper, "Fire is dangerous, destructive. You must learn to contain that danger, to control it, or it will claim many lives, including your own."
>
>Then Peregrine stepped away from Josh and into nothingness, only to appear in front of Arial, who floated twenty yards in front of a pitching machine stocked with tennis balls.
>
>"First precision, then power!" He said as she dodged the first projectile by launching herself several feet to her right, "Too much, too much. I want the tennis ball to just whiff the hairs on your arm, for you to just barely avoid it. You must be agile, nimble, not clumsily leaping from place to place!"
>
>It had been three days since instructor Peregrine had given us our first lesson- three days filled with soreness courtesy of instructor Cane, mental exertion from instructor Linns, and power usage from instructor Peregrin. Day one had been easy- simple stretches he advised us to perform in the morning, bed, and before workouts.
>
>"It's for alignment," he said, as we reached upwards, our backs arched, "You cannot be separate from your power. You must feel it within and around you, a crucial piece of you, not merely an ability. Stretch, and feel where it begins and ends. Where you begin and end."
>
>"Sounds pretty hokie," muttered Lucio as he held his hands upwards, then jumping when Peregine appeared just behind his ear, and whispered, "Far less hokie than your memory games, Lucio. But here, I teach you how to make them far more than games."
>
>Lucio swallowed, and kept his arms stretched towards the sky as instructor Peregrin disappeared once more, flitting away to correct another student's form.
>
>Day 2 had been an analysis of each of our powers, then matching us to our assigned tasks. And day 3 had been practicing those tasks over and over again, repeating the same motion for hours until exhausted. Soon the actions felt like chores, or boring, the repitition growing tedious.
>
>"We are ingraining the motions past your thoughts, past your memories, into your instincts and reflexes." He said, as my breath came heavily and I prepared to repeat my assigned task once more, and he appeared on my right.
>
>Naseau washed over me when he appeared, a feeling that occured whenever he used his power close to me and I felt the space around me shift, a hole opening and closing in a split second where he passed through. It was similar to when i created the black spheres, the feeling alien when not generated by myself, and different than I used it. Where I pushed the space, he tore it open, a sensation similar to scratching nails on a chalkboard.
>
>"SC, concentrate," he shouted as I focused on four tennis balls that rested on the floor, "Aim! You must have the control to strike multiple targets, you must have the precision! Practice. Ready, go!"
>
>Flicking both my wrists upward, I raised the four balls then hurled them at the far wall. Four painted targets showed where I should have directed them, but with my ability to create only two force points the balls clustered together, striking two of the targets off center.
>
>"SC, you are dragging the projectiles forwards. Instead, you must grip each individually, guiding their path. Do not hold back!"
>
>"I'm trying," I hissed as the balls rolled back.
>
>"Try harder, and practice!" He commanded, and disappeared again, this time nearly making me retch. And after a few hours, I found I could accurately direct the ball clusters, but never striking more than two targets.
>
>After his class was dinner and chores, then another shower and bed. And bed was something I welcomed after the tiring days, humming a song as I prepared. Always the same song, though I could never quite remember where I learned it, nor the words.
>
>Until the night I was awakened by my window blowing open, and I heard the voice singing it. And I realized there was nothing more I wanted to be than the perfect student, the strongest in all three classes. The example for all.

>NOTICE: I'm currently backpacking Europe, so updates will come Every other day. They might come more often but that is the most I can guarantee. I have a chapter bank written to help. This is why I might not be very responsive. To those of you concerned about timeliness, let me emphasize again: I do not have good access to wifi, and I am writing these in my spare time as I travel. On the 15th, I return home, and they will be more regular.

>The Bridge is #3 on wattpad right now, let's bump it to #1! The higher it is, the less time I spend on promotions, and the more time I spend on Starchild. Commenting and voting really drives it up the charts. Getting to #1 guarantees you a Star Child novel from me. Plus if you like star child, you'll probably like The Bridge too!
