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
KEY FEATURES
◇ Build a galactic industrial empire from scratch: start with a small workshop and improve it until it spans the whole galaxy
◇ Develop your very own Dyson Sphere, a megastructure that orbits
around a star harnessing all its power and energy, from the first screw
to its completion
◇ Explore a vast universe procedurally generated with all kinds of celestial bodies: neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants…
◇ Gather resources in planets of all types: ocean, lava, desert, frozen,
gaseous planets…
◇ Research new technologies to improve your factories… and discover
the secrets of the universe
◇ Build mechas to fly, sail or jump through outer space and alien planets
◇ Transport materials across the galaxy to your facilities: thousands of
transport ships will flow endlessly to your factories and back!
◇ Design the most efficient automated factory and production line
◇ Customize your factory and Dyson Sphere to make it unique
◇ Design a balanced power network, producing energy in all kinds of
power plants like wind turbines, artificial stars… through conveyor
belts, and you’ve got technology to help your buildings fit the grid automatically during the construction process. You’ve got the best tools
COSMO can afford to build a massive-scale automated production line

[@Chrisalead5]

If you seek for the biggest Dyson Sphere Power, you should aim first for the radius and then for the luminosity since it increases with the square of the radius and aonly linearly with the luminosity. Best candidates are Blue Giants. I have built a 11 TW Sphere around a 2.767 luminosity blue giant with a radius of 238800. That is more than 280.000.000 cells ^^.

[@elionics]

You are absolutely right

[@DeathByDegrees8]

Care to share your blueprint for that?

[@SlyScroll]

Depending on how you feel about both your fps and how long you wanna put into it, making a frame only without the cells using the max density setup might produce even more power as the frame makes more power than the sails in the frame

[@laker1304]

@chrisalead5: The biggest radius I see in Nilaus' seed is the red giant and it shows a measurement of 13.44 on my screen. Can you help me translate that to your blue giant of 238800? Presuming some decimal was missed in there Thank you so much for this fact on radius...I was just going on lumens!

[@venoltar]

@@SlyScroll It should build faster as well, assuming a godly PC is hosting it. I haven't yet found the upper limit on rocket launches/sec beyond actual land area for the launchers, while sail consumption is fixed per node.

[@lolmao500]

20 rockets per second in Factorio would be something lol

[@jacksonstarbringer7972]

Hell, ONE per second would be something!

[@christianmartens9697]

As fun as this game is, I just can’t get over how brilliantly it looks. I could watch the building of a Dyson sphere with the streaks of hyperdrive in the background for hours on end

[@Amethyst_js]

Man, the patrions have to donate so much to build a planet

[@michaeldavis8549]

@Nilaus: unfortunately, when you cancel an incoming demand the drones/logistics vessels will return their cargo to the supply station (they can actually overfill the limit on the station this way). This has happened to me when requesting in belts or other supplies and then cancelling and later going back to my home planet to see the station overfilled.

[@lostmoya]

I love how every time you go to a new planet type it's like "Look how beautiful this is!" then slap a bunch of concrete over it all.

[@steveeppler1611]

Not sure if you misspoke, but the 1TW dyson sphere achievement is based on ALL of your dyson spheres in total. You don't need to build a single 1TW sphere. This total will also include the one you build on a red giant.

[@Tiky.8192]

Watch out not to have the gas giant block the rail guns intermittently if you pick the farthest one.

[@quazarstar1937]

I liked this format better. Seeing you design the same belt pattern was okay, but just stamping down the builds and watching the machine come to life was satisfying.

[@AndyDouglas200]

Unless i am counting wrong, your Processor builds were 18/s each (6 modules) even though the blue print was labelled as 21/s. So you only built 72/s instead of the 76.8/s you actually needed.

[@dcrrdiin173]

Is it right that his processor 21 build makes 21 per second? In my opinion it does only 18 per second.

[@kubabuff3727]

wow, everything prepared, awesome content

[@ytiq4899]

why do you change stack size, why don't you always you 4 stack?

[@dims4627]

Got drunk sipping beer every time you forgot prolifiration :D

[@richardcarter5082]

Would love to do this myself but once i build a huge sphere, the fps starts to become unplayable...How did you manage this? any tips?

[@crazymammoth]

even in the current build? Nilaus said in a past video that some patch notes said they restructured how the game saves and it fixed alot of the lag from big builds

[@DeathByDegrees8]

@@crazymammoth if anything it got worse for me since my last save. I tried pasting in a large sphere blueprint and it immediately killed my fps even though I hadn't even started sending rockets or sails.

[@SlyScroll]

Something I find if you don't mind the lack of spectacle is hiding the sphere in the DS menu. Personally I also avoid adding solar sails to my spheres and only go with the frame as its much nicer on the FPS

[@richardcarter5082]

@@SlyScroll Will give that a go, thanks a lot!

[@marcusreis577]

You can disable "Show in game" and "Show in editor" and the fps are normal again. But it is also a matter of how big the save file gets. They fixed it in the last Update but the save file gets still too big

[@BeenThrDunThat]

Good time to take a break between meetings!

[@Invinzible001]

Did I think this was a Factorio video? Yes. Was I terrified of the shear power of Nilaus’ megabase? Extremely so

[@Guar0x]

Deuterium fuel only needs 16 each build -> 64. making 20 rockets/s but consuming materials for 16/s.

[@ThatNateGuy]

Did you say that you had a background in software development? I think it shows in your gameplay. You often talk about things in terms of inputs and outputs. This speaks to me!

[@Davidlavieri]

i wish to keep playing this Game but a quite medium size factory and a simple sphere makes the fps really annoying, unpleasing for me i wish was better optimized

[@crazymammoth]

Love watching you build Nilaus. do wish you could find some small build to slap in all the white space tho

[@JonathanUss]

By far my favorite video of this series! (lju6)

[@JimMcTavish]

It's a beast sir! Big enough to melt your PC :)

[@whataboutsharks4646]

Yes, a new episode! Thanks 😄

[@ashvio]

do you think it's feasible to make a Dyson sphere at every star in the system in a reasonable amount of time?

[@venoltar]

Feasibility: Probably, definitely with infinite veins. Time: Can be performed in parallel, so with sufficient resources (both in game and the PC itself), it should be fairly quick. Of course, in a limited resource cluster, this would severely cramp your total research potential since it would mostly go into building spheres instead.

[@shapeshiftingpedro]

Smallest size sphere for each? Sure. Max size? Unless you have an infinite world, don't count on it.

[@mickoz84]

Yeah, another DSP episode 🙂
