Complete Sphere, no EM Rail-Ejector Challenge (Dyson Sphere Program)

Ойындар

Skip ahead to 3:20 for the juicy visuals, 1:00 to skip the intro and get to the sphere building.
The challenge: fill in the sails for a 10k radius sphere without using any EM Rail-Ejectors, just node/frame deletion.
Music: Jeremy Blake | The Emperor's Army - • Jeremy Blake - The Emp...
DSP Playlist: • Dyson Sphere Program
I had originally tested deleting a single node of 30 structure points, and found that I got 40 sails from it when destroyed. So I was thinking there was some kind of ratio of structure points to sails where you get 1.33 sails/str point. That math ended up being wrong, and I didn't need nearly as many structure points as planned (it seems like you actually get 4 sails per structure point destroyed). I had originally planned on having to delete the outer layers too, but didn't end up needing to do that. And apologies in advance, I know a lot of the text is hard to read in certain areas of the video. It was tough to fit in otherwise.

    I still remember the thrill of adventure I felt when I first launched to the lava planet for titanium. Or the sheer awe when I landed on the icy lone companion of a black hole. I still look at the way railguns fire and how their solar sails deploy in polar orbits. And then I go back to my first landing site that remains just how I first built it. Damn, I never thought a factory game would give me such fond memories.

    100% agree with you! I haven't been this captivated by a video game in a long time. The comparisons with Factorio and Satisfactory make sense, but the space setting and dyson sphere mechanic add so much more to the sense of scale in this game.

Land. build automatic mines, smelter, build your first windturbines and firts belts and then do research for new stuff. unlock automatic factorys. Use then to automatic make microchips to make more research. build more stuff, unlock solarpower and oil refeneries. unlock new stuff. Build more stuff. upgreade you mech so that he can fly. Travel to other planets, for ore you found not on your starting planet. Unlock automatic interplanetar logistic drones. Travel into new Systems for new rare ores that you found not in your starting system. And you final goal was to build a Dyson sphere a network of Solarcollector around a star for your homeworld that need the energy for Research to find a solution on your homeworld.
