been listening to this 128 song playlist while I play, it fits the theme. mostly.

yeah I only suffered on energy between when I got particle colliders 12.5 MW dick in your ass energy draw and anti matter suns. Now that my dyson sphere is shaping up I got UNLIMITED POWER. I flipped through this vid, from what I saw it's basically what I'm doing now. ILS with a chain of shit...

Oh and one protip i haven't seen: using my programmable mouse and having a button to spam click at 40hz, makes placing structures quickly easy, especially shit like solar panels and windmills but also chains of smelters and replicators.

Been looking at people's layouts, read this guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2373611284 Not sure of the point, like, i have more fun making my crazy polar research and sphere creation factories but I don't pretend for a sec they are more efficient than just a string...

Yeah i started shipping them off to a planet with a near sun orbit. Doesn't really matter that much. It's so cheap to make a hundred em ejectors to eject sails opportunistically, much harder to build the sails and sphere components.

Had to modify the Santa Claus' North Pole Research Station to integrate dark matter but I like it better now. I do wish there was a way to have a white ring to move the energy matrices around in, but I think it's impossible unless I mod 4-length long boy sorters.

I was wondering how rare a tidally locked planet was. I'm surprised the EM ejectors aren't more intelligent. I'm building a giant ass dyson sphere, just pick a hole bro.

feeling kinda dumb: how do you set up your orbit and your EM-rail ejectors such that you're guaranteed they can fire regardless of current orbit? I've got a dyson swarm orbit that rotates above the orbital plane but the em rails are still trying and failign to fire at the orbital plane.

I'll typically lay things out with a bunch of space in my spaghetti and only put a few facilities down, then grow as needed. It's a lot easier to learn which replicators / chemical factories suck wind and have long build times by playing than by trying to design it all up front. By the way, in...

The game is unbelievably stable and is feature complete. It features an open sandbox building game with fun graphics and enjoyable mechanics. What the game doesn't really have is a lot of replayability. Once you play it and hit the endgame you've colonized enough worlds that there's very little...

I think that info is mostly in your tech tree but as you're scaling the tech tree the first time you don't have the experience necessary to really process the information. I'd recommend just optimizing for the current problem you have and expect that as you tech up you'll have to either build...

my dyson component / solar sail gun line, pre building. @Blazin beautiful spaghetti

So if you're clever about building, deleting and then remaking bridges you can make perfectly flat bridges. I'm afraid to build this exploit into my factories, but it's too funny to resist.

I feel like that approach is kind of a mental crutch. It's easy because you don't have to consider the spaghetti layout, but it just increases your material/energy cost for all your materials. For whatever reason that tradeoff kind of seems more important when you scale up to infinite research...

I don't think I'd actually want to play a more competitive DSP game where you have a few adversaries like in Anno 1800 (or any number of other builder games), but one fun aspect of that would be coming up with optimized factory layouts that are low-cost, balanced, efficient and fast to lay down...

Yeah, and this approach works great if you really enjoy the gameplay of making the same interstellar gateway + mining + smelting layouts repeatedly. This gets a lot more tolerable with the mod I linked above (I haven't tried it yet).

That's true, but it's a little bit different of a gameplay mechanic than adding infinite veins to specialized planets. If you've got infinite veins on your home planet you can just turtle there and miss a bunch of gameplay relating to expansion.

I can totally imagine them having an adversary in the game, but I can't imagine them not having a sand box mode. I also think they'll add a mode where high resource nodes (ex: iron/copper on lava planets) are infinite to make the game even more low-key relaxing.

The matrix cubes are simple looking but helped because they emit light. During night they can be almost blinding.

This is going to be tempting to get when my current mines on my lava planet run out of stuff https://dsp.thunderstore.io/package/jinxOAO/SmelterMiner/

Welp. I'm pretty sure my circular research stations above are incompatible with https://dsp-wiki.com/Universe_Matrix which have six inputs and one output. Right now my setup has 5 inputs, zero outputs. I'll still keep with it but will have to find some way to get 6 in, 1 out. Probably using...

soooo pretty

I went to a system that had sulfuric oceans in it. The goldilocks planet is a prairie planet that's absolutely beautiful. It's tempting to just ditch my dumpster planet I'm running out of materials on but i think moving from using a planets resources to importing everything is just part of the...

Which mod?

yeah I can imagine that. It's a little fun in my starter factory tracing my broken building all the way back to some weird fuckup I made in an stone mining line. research connected to the PURPLE purple connected to the PARTICLE particle connected to the NANOTUBE nanotube connected to the WEAVE...

you try any of the mods? https://dsp.thunderstore.io/package/thisisbrad/CopyInserters/ seems like it'd improve QOL quite a bit

also it's really annoying how you can make much smaller profile bridges by making a partial bridge and deleting a couple bridge pieces then dropping it.

Just kidding. I'm curious to find out if after I stack them to full height what the bottleneck will be. I moved the three rails on the outside, but otherwise layer 1 is operational (and yellow starved).

What do you mean, stack?

just made my biggest structure yet. not sure if there's a fatal flaw in it or not but I wanted to post a pic of it before the party started.

Yeah it feels like the sandbox mode of a builder game. The last one I played was Anno 1800 and it has a lot of the same elements as DSP, but with limited resources and aggressive opponents vying for the same resources. In the pre-release of DSP you can land on a world, take your time laying and...

Yeah, the gameplay has a certain weight to it because it's a highly developed system. It kind of falls apart in many ways but there is just a level of depth that's uncommon with other RPGs.

As a non-artist I've always been ignorantly curious about the difficulty of aligning to a well-developed base level of art assets. Human models are a good case of that where we (as gamers) have used a huge variety of character customization that all seem like re-creations of the same problem...

So once you get good at this game how much does it feel like a game vs executing a build order while playing whack-a-mole (which is how a lot of builder-type games feel to me).

Im 3 books into horus heresy now. I like to read entire series but man, 40 of them and they move so slow. I want to read an abridged version that removes all the whining and tomfoolery that makes me think the astartes are the self indulgent grabasses of fictional warfighters.

I'd be surprised if they didn't force a reroll. Three games is a looong time to he stuck with a single type.
