Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulation game with space, adventure, exploration and factory automation elements where you can 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 whose 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 Dyson Spheres (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention - but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?
Neutron stars, white dwarfs, red giants, gaseous and rocky planets… There is a big and varied universe out there, waiting for you to gather all its resources.
Every playthrough will be unique: your universe will be procedurally generated every time you start a new game. There will be different types and distribution of stars, planets and resources. Will you manage to thrive and build your Spheres, no matter what the universe throws at you?

Instead of building the complete dyson sphere in your home star. The best practice is to build the dyson sphere in the star with the highest luminosity factor (top left corner of the dyson sphere editor) in your star cluster, generally O category (class) stars are the highest I've encountered with x2.4 times the luminosity factor. Then use ray receivers (in 8 octant pattern of a sphere for constant output) in a planet (with least orbit and rotation axis inclination) of that star to collect photons (which should be ×2.4 times greater now because of the star you chose) and then ship it back to your home base for anitmater fuel for artificial sun. I have 24 Artificial Suns running my factory when I barely need 10.

I am currently working on a 2.509L O type star, I picked it for one single purpose, because I was mildly let down when I covered my first star in two full spheres and it was still day time on my planets, when I found this O type star...with a planet INSIDE the maximum sphere range...I was very excited, but it does mean that it is going to take a very, very long time to build this. But I feel like it will be very worth it even if it won't be as I expect (bright on the night side of the planet). I feel as if the Blue giant or Red giant could have had a planet on the inside as well, but I didnt even take a second look once I saw how dim they are compared to this big blue baby. It is pretty fun seeing the difference between shooting sails from a planet up close compared to shooting them from a planet that has an 8 hour orbit and the sails take over a minute to reach their target.

@anirbanchatterjee4794 3 жыл бұрын

@@firedragon159 It does take a very very long time, so if you want a full sphere in the shortest time, build it with the smallest possible radius. Though, I'm not completely sure that having the dyson sphere radius bigger than your planet's orbit radius will illuminate the night side of the planet or not. I'll be cool if it did.

@skyesfury8511 3 жыл бұрын

One thing I don't think you mentioned. For the research, to be able to make more than just a basic ring around the star, you need the Dyson Sphere Stress System tech. Each time you research it, it gives you +15 degrees of area to build in. This was not immediately obvious when I was first jumping in to design my sphere and it was frustrating me a lot because I nothing jumped out and told me I needed that. AFTER researching the first step to it, it made sense. But nothing indicated I needed that.

@madamepop5342 3 жыл бұрын

thanks @skyesfury because perhaps what you say will help me (excuse my English i am french) . Indeed when I want to put a node around my star, I have a red message that says "wrong latitude" or something like that.I can only put them on the middle line ("equator"). I didn't understand why. Is what you say the explanation ? DO i have to research Dyson Sphere Stress until I have the total degrees filled (+15 each time until 180 degrees ?!) Thanks a lot for your answer

@skyesfury8511 3 жыл бұрын

@@madamepop5342 Correct. You have to research Dyson Sphere Stress at least once to be able to build beyond the middle line. It's a limited repeatable research. Each time you research it, it expands the sphere's build area. Once you unlock the whole sphere build area, the research cannot be done again.

oh NICE thanks for sharing! I have lenses but i havnt bothered trying as power isnt a issue at all!

@Hearluck 3 жыл бұрын

@@JDPlays A bit of a clarification, the lenses don't actually force the collector to be active at all times, it just makes the zone that the collecter has to be in to "see" the star (and therefore swarm or sphere) dramatically larger. If you put collector on an equator and put a lens in, you will lose exposure for about 1/3 of the night. If I remember the ratios, one collector will at max output generate 5 photons per minute, one lens last 4 minutes inside a collector and boosts production to 10 photons per minute

the reason that light dissipates is because light tends to separate from each other, because they don't go on the line that the light source points but at angles, separating the photons, and dissipating the light, but the dyson sphere in this case circles the the sun all around so every photon is capture.

@4xelchess905 2 жыл бұрын

@@i.p.7687 This has very little to do with dissipation/dispertion of light. As you say, a complete dyson sphere should catch all the photons, so a complete dyson sphere should yeild the same energy no matter if built close or far (and building far is just more expansive). From which one can actually deduce that energy per square meter decreases as one over the square distance from a star..

@@ElderonAnalas Oil has been a struggle for me too, hence the line of refineries stretching half way around the planet. Early on I found that I had an abundance of refined oil which was hampering hydrogen production. Ended up with about 20 full storage of refined oil. Later on though as I started to produce crystalline titanium and plastic it reversed and I wasn't using enough hydrogen. I ended up replacing my energised carbon power plant with a hydrogen powered one, which is helping at the moment. With stackable storage I am leaning on the side of building up massive reserves as its my first playthrough so not sure what I will need lots of in the future. Not sure how far through you are just a cautionary tale that sometimes in this game the resource you have too much off can become the one you lack somewhere down the tech tree

Given the resource cost of building a swarm and its temporary nature, do you recommend skipping it for the sphere? Another way, is the power of a swarm a requirement to build the sphere?

@lourensmalan2431 3 жыл бұрын

It mostly depends on how early you can automate swarms effrctively , if you automate them you might as well shoot them up for power if you're getting by with power untill the sphere then its fine , swarms are just a okay boost in power anyways as you'd not get a ton out of them untill you're super mass producing. Its up to the player really you have a few options so do what you'd think would be cool or fun or effecient

I see a Star lumination stat so which stars are best and does it really affect generation potential? ☀️🤔 Additionally have you discovered the potential of a fully completed sphere at maximum versus minimum radius?

@JDPlays 3 жыл бұрын

higher Star illumination = better Larger size = more panels = more power How much power? NO IDEA! ask me in about 300 hours after i build one!

I ended up building a fairly HUGE sphere(like 75% slider) , I spent like 200 hours to complete the frame but I am not sure if the solar sail after it converts into a shell has a lifespan, I think they do because I can never seem to complete the shell totally. I need to find definitive info before I burn more time into completing it, kinda don't wanna waste time on parts that depreciate.

I saw this video at the wrong time :( I started my dyson sphere but I didn't know the best way to do it so I put the nodes as close as possible to each other, that means that I need a lot of resources for each node and have a lot of nodes, idk if keep going with that, it consumes a lot of resources, believe me, a lot, I just have 1 latitud lvl in the tecnologie and I need to launch almost 60k rockets to the dyson sphere, idk what to do, should I create another dyson sphere and remove everything from this one and create another one? Or just delete some nodes?

@JDPlays 3 жыл бұрын

You can leave what you have there already, or delete any not built nodes and just make another sphere around/inside the first sphere i think my current sphere is 3 layers deep now

No, leaving the home system is totally optional, but rare resources make things a lot easier. Also, you can build the dyson sphere on another system (where the star luminosity multiplier is greater) to get extra energy.
