Fractionating HYDROGEN To DEUTERIUM | #17 | Dyson Sphere Program | Lets Play/Walkthrough

DYSON SPHERE PROGRAM
Build the most efficient intergalactic factory in space simulation strategy
game Dyson Sphere Program! Harness the power of stars, collect resources, plan and design production lines and develop your interstellar factory from a small space workshop to a galaxy-wide industrial empire
Combining Factorio and Satisfactory on a Galactic scale!
ABOUT THE GAME
Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulation game with space, adventure,
exploration and factory automation elements where you have to build your
own galactic industrial empire from scratch
In the distant future, the power of science and technology has ushered a new age to the human race. Space and time have become irrelevant thanks
to virtual reality. A new kind of supercomputer has been developed - a machine which superior artificial intelligence and computing capability will
push humanity even further. There is only one problem: there isn’t enough
energy in the whole planet to feed this machine.
You are a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing a Dyson
Sphere, a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its
power and energy. Only a few decades ago it was considered a hypothetical, impossible invention - but now it’s in your hands… if you can manage to develop this space workshop in some galactic backwater into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire!
ABOUT EARLY ACCESS
While the core mechanics of Dyson Sphere Program are ready, the game still can grow and evolve a lot - and Early Access is just the perfect place for it to reach its true potential. We believe that by letting players experience the main content of Dyson Sphere Program and actively interacting with them to collect their feedback will allow us to improve the game and make it much better than it would be without this Early Access stage. Our plans are for this EA stage to be about 1 year long. But that is not written in stone

[@Hmuda]

Can't wait for the blueprint system. Should be done in 20 days if they can keep their schedule. Would make these kinds of tedious build so much easier.

[@Taeolas]

One trick I'm starting to do with those double lane builds, is to run my second line on top of the first one. Then when the first one is spent, I can just drop the second lane down and feed the rest. It keeps the build from going wide basically and the inserters can yoink in from under the second belt.

[@DenisZorya]

I like dsp more than factorio (base in a book)

[@Kelarik]

What I like doing is having a second hydrogen line topping up the fractionator-bound hydrogen after each machine. Not all that necessary, yields a tiny increase to efficiency because every fractionator gets 30/s flowing through, but I like being efficient and effective

[@vib80]

Yeah. He says in the video that there's new buffering in fractionators to stop the need for that. But that clearly doesn't work... sure, you can put out out from the buffer to maintain the output rate when a deuteron is separated, but the buffer will run out unless at somepoint a hydrogren is taken in to refill the buffer without putting one on the output line. And you can see that clearly in the gaps at the end of the line. Adding refill lines trades efficiency of a simple quick build for efficiency in the fractonators. Of course, build time inefficiencies are amortized over the use time of the build. Still, everyone has there own limits on how much time they want to spend fiddling on any one thing.

[@AnthraxCat]

@@nekogod Did the same math for this in excel. There are break points in Hydrogen remaining on the belt at 4, 6, 11, 15, and 18 fractionators for 29, 28, 27, 26, and 25 Hydrogen/sec respectively.

[@chemie7037]

@@nekogod I found 20 is a nice number without much impact on production inefficiencies but I was definitely confused by Nilaus saying it is inventory versus throughput that controls production. Your tests imply throughput of H2 is what matters.

[@jimmynoname4089]

I have 1/3 of a planet covered in these machines. No idea what I’m going to use all this for, but loops upon loops to be funny.

[@itsMurasko]

Literally started to watch this series today and got around Part 17 - keep up man - good videos

[@N495illithian]

Really enjoying this series. This is the kind of game I don’t think I could have the patience to play myself. It is sort of begging for a copy and paste function which can handle more complicated combination of structures. In any case, I enjoy seeing how you solve problems.

[@MrRichalu]

I gotta say, Nilaus. I'm in awe at what you do. In every one of my deletions and new games, I say I'm going to go big this time. I haven't yet. Something in my brain just doesn't work that way. But I do enjoy checking out your videos and builds.

[@tlheart]

Always fun to watch, and see how another person approaches a build. The buffer in the fractionator did change my builds to what you just did. You like to run your belts on the ground, me I stack the Hydrogen belts to supply the next grouping of assemblers... just a different approach.

[@brickbatviscounting]

Stellar work, keep the content coming!

[@bensimonjoules4402]

And I was happy with my yellow cubes !! Haha

[@saltypup918]

gotta love staying up at 3am to randomly catch Nilaus's vids

[@remcolangbroek656]

The problem with this fractionator setup is, that when the deuterium gets clogged up, the first fractionator stops the entire loop. All the others empty their buffers, adding to the problem. When the clog is removed, everything has to spin up again. Making all the rows flow from right to left (both H1 and H2), and loop back on itself, fixes the problem. You have a tremendous buffer capacity, so it doesn't really matter, but it's more efficient.

[@MirageGSM]

It looks as if at least one of your deuterium lines is jammed... Northernmost one; seen at 12:58

[@BtrayrOfhope]

Good Vid!

[@a13w1]

been struggling with Deuterium in my current save (bottleneck for green cubes/ warpers for me). Glad for a better design than a ring around planet pole I had been doing.

[@chemie7037]

When did they change fractionators? I don't recall patch notes mentioning the change to inventory versus percent of input. Also, why loop the H2 back to the start if it is inventory versus throughput that matters?

[@FernandoJVShupalaYoutube]

papi me has salvado la vida, te amo

[@doktorcool3740]

Nice

[@supaTortoise]

The grind is real.

[@alistair9337]

I don't think they do have a buffer. you can see when he first connected the power, individual cubes of hydro go straight through the machines, when if they built a buffer they wouldn't. I think the number represents the number of hydrogen going through per second.

[@CB-lh8gw]

@13:11 that ILS isn't going to collect globally because you've got not warpers in it but it's set to require them... dunno if you noticed or did it on purpose but I thought I'd mention it...

[@tiagopesce]

i make individual loops for each fractioner, for "transmiting" the hydrogen i put sorters.. generates deutherium in a faster way than a single looping line because all fractioners get a full belt passing thru all the time, but is a HELL to build manually. i made so much of the stuff i can draw in perfect allignment without planning .. sadly

[@TheKgsoloman]

I can't believe I didn't think about priority splitter on the fractionators. I always ran my lines back into the tower and it would jam the lines up. Such a simple fix. Thank you!

[@fare-5174]

Side-loading onto the belt (a T-shape) will always prioritize the hydrogen coming through the belt and will only add the missing items if there's space. No need for splitters there at all.

[@oleggello]

@@fare-5174 In the case of how Nilaus built it, you need prioritizing because if the hydrogen coming from fractionators is not first, it will jam.

[@tlpineapple1]

I literally just surrounded my south pole with fractionators, topping off the line every so often. Seems to work decently enough to support my needs.

[@steveo3459]

I notice that you're running the deuterium back into each of the four towers. Won't it take four times longer to get to a full ship load that way? Wouldn't it be more efficient to run all the deuterium into a single tower?

[@jamesaust3272]

If you don't care about space, might I suggest circling the planet with these. Normally I put them on the 2nd band (away from the equator)

[@MartenusPrince]

I think you dont need the mergers, you can just make a priority line with a feeder being the side line and this way the circuit has a priority over new feed.

[@iamdaven7330]

The mergers break this fopr me, had to remove them. When the convayer reaches max hydro it shuts down every time, it just stalls the loop.

[@stevehardenne1002]

My corsair mouse is rated at 50M clicks.... love to know what you are using cause you must wreck 1 a week at this clicking tempo.... love the vids on DSP. you really are the most efficient youtuber on DSP.

[@dimaworld2448]

Good evening, I watched your new walkthroughs for this year, but they are too complicated, I had to go back to your older guides, here at least you can understand where the roots grow =) how good that now there are blueprints in the game, and we don’t have to do it all by hand again and again in a big scales of factories

[@MrLavastar]

I am following along and made the deuterium build as well but mine is completely stalled and not making any deuterium. Any suggestions?

[@jamescox973]

I know this came has the copy/paste functionality, but it would be great if you could make blueprints like in factorio

[@-Big_Big]

never liked using the solar sails alone. just seems like a waste as they are destroyed.

[@nickllama5296]

Yeah I never got that either. A solar panel offers more power, is way cheaper to build and lasts forever. What's the point of a solar sail?

[@Maz0612]

@@nickllama5296 it's fire and forget, and when you eventually get to the dyson sphere frame materials the existing sails can slot in automatically

[@FernieCanto]

@@Maz0612 It's not quite "fire and forget", because sails deteriorate, and you have to keep a constant rate of launching to keep the swarm's production. Solar panels, though? THOSE are "place and forget". It was fun to watch the swarm on my first playthrough, but I came to realise it doesn't make much sense for me early on. As I watch Nilaus' swarm, I cringe at all the waste. But people have their own style, and different approaches have different benefits, so who cares about what I think?

[@b4anze]

At 8:44 one deuterium line is not connected to the building (on your left)

[@kmiogreen6715]

The design does not work. The hydrogen from the logistic station just fill the loop untill it jam. The work around is to replace the spliter and use a sorter instead to fill the missing hydrogen on the loop. You can even tell it's not working at 10:13, the top lane is allready jammed.

[@efeyilmaz6720]

I think you can drag and drop the power poles too you almost drag and drop everything but them it feels wierd

[@tlheart]

sorry, power poles are one of the items that can not be dragged and dropped, by the developers design.

[@jimmynoname4089]

I have so much hydrogen and deuterium… I can’t use it fast enough and have 400k just of deuterium stockpile just on one planet. What can i use this for?!

[@zenonxvii2513]

am super sad ive not a single planet in my entire cluster that has a buildable planet with also a buildable moon :( i want this more than anything right now x:(

[@HurricaneRainbowOG]

Compact often translates to not expandable/scalable, so compactness is a debatable feature / design goal.

[@LadyLexyStarwatcher]

Am I the only one that is annoyed you have to use deuterium fuel rods in the fusion reactor? It is chemically the same as hydrogen! You don't need special storage for it, you just need lots of pressure to get the nuclei to fuse into helium. I should just able to pump it directly into the fusion reactor and fuse it. Would also make a great mechanic for generating liquid helium for super conductors.

[@nickllama5296]

"not enough hydrogen" You're funny.

[@BanjioMAN]

When is the next Base in a book? i love what you do and i am waiting patiently. :)

[@graymeinders7645]

Anyone else notice the unnecessary transition at 25:00?

[@paulstelian97]

That's a kekW moment

[@bradleybuyer5541]

How are you drag/copying?

[@hypergaming3193]

Hold shift then click on the thing you want to copy then hold down lmb And drag

[@efeyilmaz6720]

Its so strange that it's deuterium and deuteron fuel rod, chemistry I guess

[@ancientgammoner6961]

Deuterium is the name of the atom, deuteron is name of the deuterium nucleus which is the part that undergoes fusion.

[@79texx]

Please continue the base in a book series!! :(
