It definitely gave no impression of being the start of a series when I read it.
(paperback, mid 70s)

I still find the core idea cool. Shame about basically everything else. Probably could have made a good short story 8-)

I remember from The Ringworld Engineers intro that he had no intention of writing a sequel at first, but "The Ringworld Is Unstable" finally convinced him? (Not 100% sure of this memory.)

Then he had no intention of writing another sequel until someone talked on Niven-L about Teela having a child. (This memory is firmer in my brain)
