Attacked from SPACE while building MAIN BUS | 04 | Dyson Sphere Program | Lets Play

[@TheFeralFerret]

This game never fails when it comes to amazing space spectacles

[@Fky12345]

22:29 DO NOT close the holes from the hive :) Put a powered Signal tower there or 2 powered rocket turrets. Otherwise the hive will build new holes elsewhere. If you leave it open the hive tries to rebuild at the old hole and the turrets will take care before the hive can get something up again. When you have some of these kind of setups the hive will never build anything else on the planet.

"'Box, box, box, box. Sounds like F1" Nice one! :D

[@Axador_1971]

I have to thank you again for all your really good blueprints that you make available to us. Today I updated myself once again and together with your videos they are really a great help when you get hopelessly bogged down in building projects.

[@TheKgsoloman]

Keep the let's play going! Great work. Might be good to call out or include links to older videos that explain your science builds.

[@dominikb9202]

The bus is a work of art ! spectacular.

[@sebastianstarke6668]

Wow the space battles look just awesome thx for showcasing

[@noxi1272]

Ich finds einfach super. Es kommt ein Addon/Neuerung zu nem Spiel, das auf deinem Kanal läuft und es kommt einfach Kontent! Ich kann absolut verstehen das man Folgen im Wochenrythmus rausbringt um den Arbeitsstress zu minimieren. Umso cooler finde ich das du das trotzdem so schnell hinbekommst. :D Ich verliere immer die Lust an Letsplays, wenn ich selbst viel schneller im Spiel vorankommen als der KZbinr Folgen rausbringt. Bei dir keine Chance. Du haust schneller Videos raus als ich Spielen kann xD

[@linoxcroc1831]

The video is incredible as always but the fun fact that you said box box and after you said F1 put a huge smile on my face

[@callum.dokkodo]

Absolutely glorious main bus!

[@draconismagnus]

Sheeshh, I didn't know you can put a splitter below a box container and have supplies go into the box. I learn so much from you Nilaus.

[@polkaripov]

Since the signal towers act as long-distance power poles you could use them to set up a power grid on the planet that doubles as full sensor coverage. Then just base your missile batteries at the poles near your ILS dome.

[@WingnutDumbace]

Can we please have a "play list" of this series.... the KZbin Search sucks and one has to sort through videos that have nothing to do with you, just to find the next video in the series. Also can we add the link to the blueprints in the description, that seems to be missing in this series as well. (Just some house keeping requests) :D

You can put those attack drones into battlefield analysis base

[@matthewsykes4814]

I still haven't built my first Dyson sphere..... and now I have bad guys to deal with. I go through phases with games, I'll play one for weeks on end until I get distracted or stuck them play something else and forget what I was doing. I did try building a main bus, let's just say it worked and forget the conveyor spaghetti I built feeding it. Your design is, as usual, far better and cleaner than my rats nest.

[@dracconis69]

@Nilaus for your BUS IF you swapped the Sorter and Belt Assemblers you could have the T2 Belt and T3 Sorter Assemblers share the Green Turbine belt, freeing up 1 lane for other inputs, as well as allowing for the T2 Assembler and T3 Belt Assemblers to share the Graphene belt. That would free up 2 lanes of belts/inputs from the BUS.

[@Alexandragon1]

Thx for the video!

[@ammelodiana5664]

I'm just really looking forward to see how you deal with the space hive

[@2velyn]

Space combat has yet to be implemented

[@starbreeze7249]

you can create battleships or some type of unit that fly out and attack the enemy/hive with you flying in space, as well as have specific turrets attack it from the ground, so a part of it does in fact exist

[@DavidWMiller]

@@starbreeze7249 Yeah, it definitely exists, you can grind away at destroying the dark fog if you really want to, but it's not going to be particularly fun or interesting.

[@KasiKuula]

Traffic Monitors not going to never fail. Condition is greater or equal than 0 for 30sec.

[@ribster]

Great video. Love how it never get boring and at the same time I always learn more about the game :) I took over my second planet (lava planet) and now dark fog trys to build new bases on planet 1 and 2. Thought they will only do this if you take every planet in the system away from them ?

[@CostelloDamian]

I've never really used proliferation in any of my playthroughs. IMO it is just a gimmick and it is not worth the hassle. You literally trade one resource for another. If you need more of something you just build more of factories/smelters for that resource. At least that is the way I look at it. Maybe with an exception of some rare resource that is scarce in your system before you unlock interstellar travel. I'm saying maybe because I've never really done it, but I could see the potential if needed.

[@tanthokg]

It's worth doing near the end of the production chain, or with some rare and hard to make items, such as quantum chips, graviton lens, etc. Its effect is multiplicative

[@CorvinoDan]

Can't wait to see the planetary shield. Pls show it during an attack

[@Vlamyncksken]

im sure youll get to see the planetary shield during an attack... what else is it shielding against?

[@Tourney65]

I had some good luck with building 2 polar rings of missle turrets connected to a single signal tower on each pole and have yet to see a relay land. Builds less threat too if you destroy the relay before it lands too.

[@Milsar774]

I have been a fan of DSP and satisfactory for about a year, you made me discover DSP and I am now playing it everyday, all day. Keep it up champion! (Also youtube unsuscribed me for no reason)

[@CrispyMuffin2]

[@HelicopterShark]

Please do a video on dark fog loot farming You can see what's available to you by pressing the dark fog filter on the Battle assessment station (thing with it's own construction drones) or by pressing the filter pick up button that shows up in combat mode (Z) from here you can turn off auto pick up for specific items. I suggest making a filter on your BAS inventory that only allows things you really want and use a big box on top to handle overflow of stuff you don't want a lot of but don't want to turn off (imo turn off plant material, wood, glass and hydrogen at least) Use the 9 outputs to send good loot out to 2 ILS's. Make that a blueprint and use it with a signal tower and plant it so a dark fog drill hole is just outside the agro range of the signal tower so only patrols agro

[@Verloren167]

You can get rid of the kinks with the last rotation mode for conveyor belts

[@stewartpreston491]

Love your videos and clear explanations. Your Blueprints are so helpful as well. Do you have Blueprint with the expanded Main Bus you have shown on this video by any chance?

[@AlessandroRodriguez]

7:07 -How much (titanium) do we what? -Yes

[@omnimous69]

definitely an argument for leaving proliferaters until later but it sure is nice to have the whole way through, though it's a lot more work.

[@Karma-Code]

Man I'm struggling in those game. I can never seem to get thing to line up without looming like spaghetti. I'm using your main hub blueprint but trying to get everything lined up to run the same way is hard.

i use ur hub blueprints. im trying to figure out all the blueprints there is so many. watching ur videos helps lol

[@JohnMeinel]

There is a new dark fog oil recipe that takes coal to turn hydrogen into light oil, which has a good ratio and means you don't back up when you don't consume your hydrogen. It was a big value add for sulfuric acid, IMO.

[@Eagle6Airsoft]

Attack drones are a shorter attack range than the drone before it.

You should really consider farming the Dark Fog. There are a bunch of things you can only get from killing them.

[@rekrn12345]

Like what?

[@UNSCrearadmiral]

Also curious

[@hellboy19991]

spoilers on what you can get down in the read more: You get shards that you can use for: New Matrix labs with 3x production speed and 300 hash/s New assemblers that have a production speed of 3x New Smelters that have a production speed of 3x New fuel rods that give you 72 GJ 1100% fuel chamber generation without proliferation A consumable that will (I think) permanently increase the Fabricator crafting speed Not to mention that the enemies can drop any intermediary product from wood up to and including quantum chips, antimatter fuel rods and unipolar magnets. Don't quote me on the dropchance, but there is a post on the DSP subreddit showing all possible drops.

How do you do the "tall" splitters? I can't figure it out.

[@Khaim.m]

Does the Fog try to reclaim open holes? If so it might make sense to leave them, so you know they'll land in range and get wiped immediately.

[@Rickydicky69420]

Yes, it tries to reclaim holes.

[@rekrn12345]

The real question would be if that prevents them from creating new holes but I don't think it does.

[@ianwright2321]

Why put storage boxes on top of splitters? What's the benefit?

[@sayfclans1738]

1 item (splitter) = 1 input / 3 output + no time to go in. (mk1 sorter = 1.5 trip, mk2 = 3 ...), better to connect belt with 3 different splitter... gl hf

[@SurrealNirvana]

Every time I leave a planet they send a new little hub thing to it. Which is okay for now since now my main planet has like 8 geo thermal generators now.

[@Somewhat1011]

Why do you use splitters with boxes now? I don't think they were optimized yet.

It seems like it's more compact and it's always a full belt out no matter how fast the belts are, as long as there's enough items in box

[@jacobhavinga9402]

Hi Nilaus, did you ever thought about some QOL mods to use, like: AutoReverse , DspGameSpeed , SplitterOverBelt ? ( These mod's do not influence the game saves or metadata ) DpsGameSpeed 1x, 2x or 4x is a must in my opinion ... you don't have to wait forever to get somewhere ...

[@Bishop1091]

can anyone tell me the downside of using metadata? is it just some achievements wont pick up or is there more?

[@Omegafire17]

A few specific achievements won't work if metadata is used - namely the 25h and 10h timed challenges, and "leave the starter planet and land upon another within an hour" - but for the most part, they don't interfere with them. They're just there to help speed things up if you want that :)

​@@Omegafire17 if you have multiple saves, does the metadata all count? Also, are they consumables?
