IT IS TIME! 4000 Rockets & 8000 Sails Per Min | #39 | Dyson Sphere Program | Lets Play/Walkthrough

[@Nilaus]

Do you want to see more Dyson Sphere Program? I am streaming live on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/nilaus (8PM CET)

[@MichaelKubler-kublermdk]

I'd love to see a timelapse from a bit back and to the left of the planet, seeing the swarms of rockets and sails coming from the planet and seeing the Dyson Sphere be created. 34:11 is about the correct spot. The planet to the right, the Dyson Sphere being created. Your ultimate final timelapse for this season. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHnRhqRnetaFfac

[@thomasbrown2791]

Can we take a moment to admire the supply chain from system to system and planet to planet in the background? It looks like the framework of a Dyson sphere!

@@MaybeSomeoneful so that a majority of cores can sit idle or what?

[@MaybeSomeoneful]

@@nein3405 Actually, I have no idea how optimised Dyson sphere program is in terms of parallelisation, but it would make sense to smartly parallelise all calculations of production happening because there are way more processes running in the same time, than there are cores. I believe utilisation of CPU would be incredibly high even having tons of processor cores. Probably they run calculations on GPU, that would make sense too. Given that Dyson sphere program seems to be technical design masterpiece, it believe any update would work, including getting CPU with tons of cores in it.

"Oh my god, it's full of stars!" That's was an absolute beauty to watch, thank you so much for spending the time to actually create that. As beautiful as it is it's even more amazing when you consider the amount of production and logisticts that take place in the rest of the star cluster just to support the creation of that sphere. Also we must be thankful for the developers for actually coding the game so something like this is really possible, it would probalby have been a lot easier to do it all with just particle effect but they made the effort to actually have the rockets and sails being modeled. One again, thank you.

[@matthiasoc7141]

So beautiful. They should have sent a poet.

[@Anson_AKB]

_"Oh my god, it's full of stars!"_ maybe he should have sent a few more : 4002 rockets and 8040 sails per minute ... for 2001 rockets (every 30 seconds) and 2010 sails (every 15 seconds) ... :-)

[@thewindwarrior1765]

I would absolutely love to see the complete version of that Dyson Sphere.

[@rodmongodwood]

id also like to know how long it took to build. from the first rocket to the last sail.

[@K21040]

@@rodmongodwood 403 000 structure points, 4000 RPM bit over 100 minutes and with the solar sails 2-3 hours

[@matthiasoc7141]

The pulsing of the launch planet is beautiful, like a cosmic heartbeat.

[@MichaelKubler-kublermdk]

Yeah, very much so.

[@harbl99]

Look at the mini-map. It's just yellow with spots of blue! Suppose that's what you need to build a Penrose Sphere though.

Just small trivia, some black hole can ignite hydrogen fusion in its accretion disk and become more luminous than most of the stars.

[@winddealer1]

Wow! very impressive ..... best KZbin channel on Dyson Sphere period.

[@CronRoa]

would've loved a time-lapse of the whole sphere being built! GJ THO!

[@Nilaus]

then the video would take another couple of days to complete and I want that to be in a separate video

[@basila33]

- how many rockets per minute do you launch? - yes.

[@ArgonianSkaleel]

imagine one planet just paved with rocked launchers and solar sails fired from another. how many would that be?

[@stuarthamilton679]

@@ArgonianSkaleel I was thinking the same, somebodies gona do it and release a vid no doubt, only a matter of time surely... still that's crazy impressive! ;)

[@ArgonianSkaleel]

@@stuarthamilton679 well, there's already a planetary blueprint mod, so theoretically one could just have one planet per dyson sphere system to launch all the rockets for it, once finished copy it and dismantle the launchers to move on to the next project site lol

[@lewisleslie2821]

I love when you look at things while flying through space!

[@derekexplosion]

maybe a timelapse with cuts inbetween at certain moments- for example when the last rocket is fired, the sphere at 50% completion, hitting certain power levels maybe. Really enjoyed this series!

[@AdamSaxton]

That was awesome to see the rockets launch and the planet glow. Insane amazing! 👊

[@davidx620]

so...many...rockets...VERY impressive. The amount of work needed for this must have been enormous but IMHO it was worth it.

[@tggasser]

Awesome work Nilaus. Pretty amazing that the gravity bends the path of the solar sail while beeing shot into orbit.

[@Avetho]

That was beautiful to witness, and to see the rest of the star cluster behind the planet with the warp travel paths lit up, _absolute beautiful yes,_ zettai ni kireina if my ultra-hyper-basic-level of Japanese holds up

Your build is so gorgeously OP, that even your PC's heart is melting.

[@Firebuck]

Beautiful! I'd love to see a timelapse of the build from near the planet, with UI turned off (F11) and mecha hidden (F11 a second time).

[@coastlund]

There should be an option to make the sphere opaque on planning. it was hard to watch, i imagine it was hard to make too

[@capcapt23]

WOW when those rockets launch and it lights up in the circle, that looks so amazing!

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

Thats the most beautiful WMD I’ve ever seen...

[@Deanorama]

I believe this is the "coup de gras" of the series... You should definitely post a separate video of just the Dyson sphere forming. I mean if that's not too much trouble

[@SomeOne-vf1rs]

I love the idea of covering a black hole in stars... it’s like you’re reminding it of its infancy, and I feel that if these terrifying anomalies were sentient, they’d appreciate it.

[@mrslix60]

You're a very talented man, a joy to watch. Thank you

[@castor-zv9kv]

Absolutely glorious to behold. Well done, sir.

[@soundwaveandfriends]

21:17 - majestic

[@jonohashmo849]

The rockets launching and swarm forming and you flying through it is one of the most visually beautiful moments in video games I've ever seen:):)

[@Inthedark72]

This was super satisfying, but now I have to see what it looks like having the entire planet covered in silos, so they launch a sphere instead of a belted ring.

[@badejong]

What a beautiful sight... Well done Nilaus! 👍👍👍

[@bakkerem1967]

Me : what's the use of a dyson sphere around a black hole ? Nilaus : YES !

[@robertburbulea8503]

Wow, you actually created perfect simmetry, which I struggled for a long time. Well done, Euclid's enemy!

[@Nilaus]

thruthfully, I spent a good deal of time testing patterns ;)

[@shadowcharly]

Awesome sphere. Very screenshootable material there ;)

[@Zendien]

That was one impressive lightshow :D ... well played!

[@Merovius]

You can use the Star-system view to look at the build process. It doesn't show the star/black hole (or rather, it only shows it as a dot) but AFAIK it shows the solar sails and the parts of the shell that are built. If you center on the star and zoom out a bit, it's quite nice IMO. Just FYI there's also a dyson sphere progress mod by the same developer as CopyInserters, which I find nice - it shows you, in the dyson sphere view, the number of structure and cell points done and needed - so it just sums over all structure points and adds the relevant numbers. It's probably not useful for the timelapse, but it's good to just get a quantifiable glimpse on the progress.

[@Rms2015]

Thank you for a lovely digital fireworks show. It was magnificent

[@Swordsmoogle]

That launcher planet is so stupid, I love it.

[@josephdavison4189]

Yea the launcher of this game probably takes up an entire planet

[@toneDef77]

They need to give us the ability to hide the back half of the sphere in design mode, as well as hide other layers. Right now it is next to impossible to see what you are working on in designing the sphere when the opposite half is cluttering the display.

[@xircon1]

I would love to see a time lapse of the construction framed like that last shots before your end screen. Instead of flying though, use the system map (v). Center on the black hole and spin around so the orbital plane is mostly horizontal and the planet starts in view like at 35:00. I think it would be cool like that from the black whole frame of reference where the planet orbits across the screen in the foreground/background. I’d love to play around with the save just before launch! Is that something you give to patron members?

[@Dummy00001]

Stars around black hole. Nice. Great respect for the efforts.

[@Harlequin_3141]

[@valiakosilla2413]

Those straight "geodesic" lines are great circles. Button with curved line make lines which follows constant latitude and longitude lines. Straight lines are intended to use with icosahedral grid and curved with latitude-longitude-grid.

[@nunzio99]

Epic. Nice work Dude.

[@demonicbunny3po]

If you want an idea for another series, try a "no drones" playthrough, vessels only.

[@doktorcool3740]

The build-up to this was distributed over slightly too many episodes, but the final launch was well worth the wait.

That design timelapse got super confusing visually towards the end. I think an option to make the planner opaque (and disallow clicking on the "far side") would help immensely.

[@Nilaus]

it got super confusing in real time as well ;)

[@hiepke1]

Sphere design needs to have an option that hides the farside of the sphere invisible. It's a pain to design it as it is now.

What I find awe inspiring by this is the meta view of it "Sir! we are detecting something massively active going on at that Black hole over there!" "oh? some good loot? Should we launch a raid?" "Oh.. I dont think so, sir. Right now the million railgun shots are shooting sails.. imagine if they felt threatened and started firing lead bullets... We should probably leave them alone" "Yikes! ok, but.. why a black hole?" "My guess is they want to outlive all the stars in the universe." "Ok, Double yikes. we def dont want to mess with those people. lets start heading the other way in the galaxy. quietly"

[@coastlund]

[@Verechter]

stars around a star, nice... ah black hole nvm =D

[@YouGotCreeped]

The devs should implement more saving and loading functionality. Allowing players to save their game to a Google Drive or another third party storage solution. And then with loading, use streaming to automatically save and load specific star systems based on what star system the player is closest to. This could be cached on the players PC so the player doesn’t have to download each time they try to load into the game, but if the cache file gets too large, you can always delete it and get a new cache when you start streaming in from the location where you saved. Not a bad idea, but would require internet access or you’ll have no world to stream in.

[@Korkzorz]

Woooah. So I was wondering what was going on in the background at 23.37 fx. and then I realized that is your in and outgoing ships in the production lines. What a massive production line you must have. It makes my own game feels sad and small lol.
