The thing that really sold me on Dyson Sphere Program was when I established my primary base in a new system, on an inner system planet, and started building my very first Dyson sphere with a slightly larger radius than the planet's orbit. The first time the ring of my initial sphere swept past my planet, dwarfing the whole world, I felt such a powerful sense of scale that I don't think any game has quite given to me since.

I guess every Factorio youtuber suddenly decided to play other factory games

The fulgora background music makes this Nauvis-like planet gameplay feel so alien and eerie

Dosh Plays Satisfactory and now Ryan plays DSP lets goooo!!!

A max threat run sounds fun to watch.

Spheres? In my factory game? How queer, i must report this to my superior posthaste

If you’re curious about the exact details of the distances between planets and stars: one AU seems to be only 40km, and a lightyear is 60AU or 2400km. This means the IRL earth would be about 5 light years across if it were dropped into a star cluster

If you think about it really hard this is basically datacenter construction simulator, fit with all the same ecological consequences

Id like to see more dsp
Expecially more of the insane endgame scaling this game has where you start using entire planets to smelt just 1 ore

Ive sunk almost 400 hours into DSP. Its a breath of fresh air when factorio is getting stale. You know youre in the end game when you start building a second dyson sphere to help complete your first one. If you want a good idea on what could be possible, I recommend Nilaus' video on the biggest sphere around a black hole, the time lapse is stunning.

maybe they should increase mission complete tech to 100,000 or a million white sci cubes, cause for a dyson sphere veteran, ending it at a small sphere in your home system, not leaving the home system or barely leaving it for only mining is such a let down for me, the best part for dyson sphere is when you have rocket slios and EM launchers each have an entire planet of firing to make a massive sphere, and with dozen or so planets needed to make that many rockets, and seeing hundreds of logistics vessels lighting up the night sky with their constant warping. I often treat my home system one would treat a starter base in factorio, since its such a mess trying to automate everything with only 3~4 planets

i am dutch and i must say seeing land reclaimd from the see makes me proud

I'd love to see a max setting playthrough (even if it is just a playthrough to wipe out the dark fog in your own system or something)

And just like factorio, i don't think i'll ever be able to fully play through this game lol.

Just opened youtube to find a background video for my dsp session. Wondrous timing!

Eyyy I love a good equator solar panel belt, my favourite early-mid game power solution

Please please please make more videos on this game.  Its so interesting, and having someone actually competent at factory games, playing this, is a godsend.

funny that both Ryan and Neuroplastic went for equatorial solar farms instead of polar ones

I do love the interpretation that the planets are actually real size and that the trees, mecha and machines are all just absolutely colossal
