What a late game galaxy looks like : Dyson Sphere program ep 24

[@AegisA3]

Your commitment to overkill never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for the whole series-it was amazing from beginning to end.

[@MegaReaperking]

so we've reached this games natural conclusion. Watching this series got me to start playing again, but I too never finished my dyson sphere. My laptop just couldn't take it. It was fun while it lasted though...

[@jri752]

Thanks for finishing off the playthrough. Good to have some diversity on the games played. Look forward to a factorio pyanadons run! (Maybe just a live stream vs clean edits...)

[@wilshireanasurimbor3068]

That was fun, thanks for taking it as far as it could go.

[@aurigarvel727]

I don't even have this game and don't plan on starting but I really enjoyed watching you play it. Thanks, Francis!

[@anthonylaplante9631]

great series man! between this and ONI i've been thoroughly entertained

[@jrleonicleonard4791]

It's been an absolute pleasure to watch, thanks for sticking to it.

[@MarcCastellsBallesta]

I don't know what has been under more stress in this playthrough. Francis' brain trying to come up with better black boxes or Francis' computer.

[@Adrox05]

I absolutely loved this series, your way of always pushing just one step further and then a few more is exactly why I have a blast watching anything you make. Thank you for bringing this one to the end, no literally the end of your computer xD. I tip my hat to you Francis "Overkill" John.

[@TonyB02]

Loved this playthrough francis! Appreciate your approach to game and look forward to more :D

[@Bonjairno]

Damn, I'm sad it it didn't get finished but thanks for pushing it so far.

[@Taliseth]

Awesome, thank you for seeing it through almost 250 hours is a crazy amount of time! Sad the Dyson sphere didn't get finished, but then again not much point at the current stage of the game. Would love a "lessons learned"/"what i would do differently" video! Also thank you for sharing the save file, it looks like my own save with some work and finishing the dyson sphere has a bit of stretch left!. At 1:1 setting I'm getting 18 fps/ups on average (without the dyson sphere showing), that being said I only get 4 UPS extra going 1:5. Would be interesting to see what newer CPU's would be able to do but looks like just running the game skews tot he same. Got a game crash on deleting the sphere though :D

[@KublaKhan1797]

Thanks for the series, Francis. I, for one, much enjoyed it.

[@mrben1183]

What an incredible journey. Thanks for making it so entertaining!

[@LarsBollwinkel]

Hi Francis, this play through was the reason I bought DSP. I had a lot of fun watching it.

[@Swordsmoogle]

Lovely run, thank you for going so far with it.

[@mikeyvee128]

Love your "black boxes", but I would have a few "stand alones". One being carbon nanotubes from stalagmite. Much less demand on warpers and transport ships, if you refining it on the water world. It's a 3 to 1, meaning 3 ships of ore for 1 ship of nanotubes. I'm gaining back much UPS modifying my current game this way. Also, solar panels are a hugh hit on UPS.

[@vulkandrache1928]

I did the same. Every build gets put on planet that allow the most used ressource to be pulled localy. And once i had a consistent production of AMFuel i tore down anything but geothermal plants. At the moment i can make 15SPM while staying at 12/60 FPS/UPS.

[@Lodestone8]

Also for some things like copper it's best to refine on site since there's only use for it in plates and it can save some room on science planets and the like.

[@mithral07]

Got home from a 12 hour work day. Tacos, rum and coke, and this episode. great way round up my day. Hope to see you with some cyborgs on ONI.

[@Batos41]

Great series. Loved seeing the progression and learning from episode to episode.

[@coreymote387]

Thanks for finishing this up it is fun

[@NeverHere533]

I really enjoyed this series, thank you!

[@christophemalgouyres]

Congrats on finish this playthrough, it was quite interesting to watch. To be honest, end game felt a little too calm for me but it seems like you liked it so that's no big deal. Can't wait to see what your next game will be!

[@BWSC81]

Will be interesting to see a future run of this game with an eye on the performance panel from day 0, and the improved resource management (assume we ever get there in 3 years). I suspect the science rate limits could be increased now that Francis has a better understanding of these tools. So often I find paying attention at the start helps me understand the fundamentals which aids in scaling long term.

[@BWSC81]

Who know, maybe a max difficulty run would also help get this before 3 years out :P (Though I think it would mostly hamper early game, eventually one gets OP. Bots can't upgrade, though maybe they should add that feature.)

[@BWSC81]

Duno if it would be worth it but it might be worth building the "what I would have done" version of the science while it's still fresh. Then save the blueprint for next time.

[@williamhuhn9221]

FJ, you never really upgraded your Logistics Carrier Engine level: saw it was only at Level 15. Your Drones and Vessels all travel so SLOWLY! So much of your throughput problems would be solved with some faster ships!

[@graspienjo2850]

Always good to see people playing DSP. Thank you :) Techtonica next? Would love to see you play that

[@Merogie]

Thanks Francis, excellent run! I agree that black box design, particularly those that fit in the pizza slice exactly are the biggest value gain to scalability. Im wondering if you will create some ready blueprints and share them on DSB? Particularly those that are super robust (ie anti-failure) and multi function. Would love to see you take a stab at optimizing your black box designs for maximum compression and functionality whilst maintaining proper "legal" beltwork. I think a few blackbox designs aside from the fuelrods one which might be good to consider include proliferated graviton lens for people who use loads for power production. And also probably a black box mall from raw, for either buildings, ammunition or both. Thanks again for the excellent run and inspirations! P.s. playing this game made me feel like playing starsector for some reason, had an excellent run of that too using invictus capital, eradicators and your LP Brawler meta! Haha

[@sovietsupporter3828]

Wouldn't it be 600 billion? as 60 million x10000 is 600 billion (that works out to 30,000 hours btw). I assume you did 6000000x0.011? that calcuates at 1.1% loss as its a percent, you should multiply by 0.00011 to get 0.011%

[@davidebdon6891]

Was about to come in and make the same-ish comment. Greatly enjoyed the video series! Looking forward to the next craziness.

[@DroCaMk3]

You're right, but you have one 0 too many in your final multiplier. It should be 0.01 * 0.011 = 0.00011. (or add 2 more zeroes to the percentage value)

[@sovietsupporter3828]

@DroCaMk3 just checked again, thanks you werer correct

[@TheMalT75]

Thank you, that really has been a ton of fun! Maybe when a couple of update have changed the game again, you revisit? From the announcement of the upcoming revamping of space combat, it looks like Dyson Sphere Program will integrate elements of Cosmoteer/Avorion (or Space Engineers, wink, wink!)... I have integrated proliferate and antimatter fuel rod production in my current research pizza slice (cramming 900 per minute white cubes into it, but importing nanotubes and particle containers instead of stalagmite and unipolar magnets). Not 100% happy: sometimes proliferate does not reach the furthest sprayer, so that blackbox "only" outputs 810 per minute on average and needs a little bit of tweeking.

[@MdnghtEther]

I can actually feel my phone heating up while watching this.

[@NoMusiciansInMusicAnymore]

This was an awesome series man, anyone that dropped off just don't get games haha

[@hquest]

14:05 - yeah I think we are overpowered. Me: when is Francis NOT overpowered?

[@johannstein5199]

Ty for the series cant w8 for whats coming next ❤ (eaven if iam sad for Not seeing the completet dysen sphere but its fine)

[@aosalias]

I suppose we'll give you a pass for 100k TEMP science. Nice effort mate, solid work

[@highlorddarkstar]

Did you remember to run the universe matrix to win?

[@esven9263]

In your overview episode you should try dropping into the middle of a dark fog base and clearing it out, then speed up the footage to see what things would look like at the base 60ups if the game weren't struggling.

[@Yardiff]

I grabbed your save and loaded it, very interesting. For me it has a consistent 16/32 fps/ups while orbiting Big Blue One (from game load). Looking at the sphere, or the planet, or off elsewhere. My system is an Intel I9-14900 with 64GB RAM, the display adapter is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (16GB RAM).

[@josefrees]

This save should be a benchmark test

[@poppy3318]

My man doesn't need to turn on the central heating.

[@justinc.2656]

DSP takes you back to old-school gaming, where you outplay the game until it breaks. Except then, the games got faster and faster; now, DSP just gets slower and slower until it's unplayable.

[@myrcutio]

Day 59 of eagerly anticipating FJ doing ridiculous things in Factorio Space Age

[@r3dp9]

Gleba will break him, for no more than week.

[@myrcutio]

Gleba breaks us all

[@vulkandrache1928]

I hope he never plays this disaster of a DLC. That would be weeks of lost video.

[@DeathsRHM]

Don't stop until you hit seconds per frame

[@dahn57]

In game universe, producing power was the whole point if you rememeber. So making the dyson sphere so big was not overkill as your job was to produce as much power as possible 😉 Although yeah, your computer was seriously struggling there. I bet it will be relieved not to have to play that game any more 😛

[@ivanustinov577]

Amazing!

[@vulkandrache1928]

There are 2 mods called "Darkfog unleashed" and "They come from the Void". The first lets you set the initial enemy stats much higher and the second adds a few things like levelup skillpoints. If you ever get back to this game i would like to see how you handle the first few hours of ubermax difficulty settings. The first time i tried it took me almost 10 hours just to clear the starting planet.

[@josefrees]

Thanks for playing the game for me lol

[@lyssalud6781]

freeeeze the watertank!

[@Genesis8934]

def. think you should paint every planet green for Ireland before finishing this run. :P

[@DroCaMk3]

I did stick around and enjoyed it a lot! Any new plans? We haven't had any rimworld in a while! But id also be up for a round of "random game i hadn't heard of". I learned about a lot of great games from you. Speaking of, you could come back to inscryption and play a little more of kaycee's mod? :) I know it's not your typical game but I absolutely loved seeing you play it!

[@jameshanson5610]

Your save game makes my 3900x & 3070 cry. Time to upgrade lol

[@josefrees]

Please play factorio soon

[@PaoloBosi]

I watched every single episode of this series, and it got a bit boring at the end. Let's say the last 10~ episodes. So I'm happy Francis has time for something else. Factorio, here we come!

[@beheroot]

just as you cant stop playing i cant stop watching your content even if series got me bored half way through ;) What's your PC specs? I remember there was video about you puting your new rig together, but cant remember specs :(

[@poppy3318]

GG. I am going to download. Is there a place to return results?

[@skilz8098]

You don't need a supercomputer to play a game... ... DSP I'm here. Factorio, I was here first. Satisfactory, Don't count me out. ONI, I've been duped.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

I don't hate my computer enough to get this game.

[@petrkarliak1341]

Hey @Francis, i hope u do know that you can mine unipolar magnets in neutron or black hole system, do you?

[@ThePiachu]

So... Factorio gigabase next? :D

[@skilz8098]

Are you proliferating your rare resource materials and subcomponents that are built from them?

[@erickstamand]

Hey! Loved the series :) Not sure if you mentioned it in one of your videos, but I was wondering what system you are running? Specifically what GPU + CPU? I'm still rocking my 1080ti and my game is starting to slow down in my late game build. Just wanted to compare

[@pluralofmad8977]

He put it in his channel about page: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Geforce GTX 3080 founders edition 2x 16GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 DIMM CL16-16-16-36 1000GB Samsung 980 Pro M.2 PCIe 4th

[@nightgod8151]

What it looks like? Im guessing somewhere between 5-10FPS? If your PC dosen't crash that is 🤣

[@rl53]

Great to see the evolution in design processes & proves AI can never win, well 😂😂

[@InnaciKorushka]

Whats your pc build? I wanna see if mine would survive cluster spanning

[@ariedge2435]

the fps must be crazy.....

[@mikeyvee128]

More like 60 billion stalagmite crystal, but who's count at this point, lol. Actually, I be;ieve it's 600 billion at 0.01%

[@azahiel82pl]

My pc cry in end game i have 10fps....its not Play ale....😢 R5800x3d 16 g ram Asus 2080 super

[@someguy-lt2op]

Pointless comment

[@Tetrahedron64]

rookie numbers obviously buy a second pc so you can make more(sarcasm btw)

[@XiskogenX]

U should look up my RR blueprint :) author Xiskogen
