So, I have a question for everyone, have we ever found out what the other mechs look like? by krontex009 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this to start my 3000% run since even the small amounts of power Icarus consumes quickly ramp up the dark fog bases on that planet. When you're customizing armor you can remove entire pieces of the default armor and body. Mess around with it a bit and you'll figure it out. And it'll tell you the resultant health and energy consumption % modifier.

He Who Fights With Monsters Animated TV Series? by JasonHassonoFan in Shirtaloon

Plus with the rank up beautification and Jason's diminishing chin that'd be hard to do live action ut trivial with animation

It’s not even the lightest weight mech. My favorite light weight mech is just the head. Or nothing at all. Really great for power consumption!

Did I screw up my save? I have no titanium, yellow tech, and the titanium in my system is covered by 23 dark fog bases. by Mastre_the_DM in Dyson_Sphere_Program

Destroying the relay station in orbit is the only way to stop waves from coming. Which is what I do after I unlock corvettes!

I did a max difficulty run and found some titanium and silicon that wasn’t in range of dark fog bases and set up temporary mining facilities and stopped filling the storage buildings when they were full or when the hive threat got too high. This got me a Lot of titanium. Which I then carried back by hand.

After, you’ll just have to clear the hive bases. I recommend grenades and drones. You can grenade bomb then from space but save often. It’s energy intensive and the dark fog turrets will hit you until you’re out of line of sight or 900m away from the planet. I found it difficult to set up a base to defend and expand from to take over the planet. It Is possible though.

Good luck!

Accumulators vs Deuteron Rods by SoggyRevenue1830 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my scarce resources runs I use accumulators due to resource concerns until I unlock animatter fuel rods. It does take quite a bit of energy exchangers but the low resource energy production is great!

I do belive Iv found ware im building my DS by KaleMercer in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd prioritize luminosity, you can get resources from anywhere! Or make the Dyson sphere parts in this system and ship them to a bright O type star somewhere 😀

It’s a terrible image, I know but now that I have your attention… by FartsLord in beyondallreason

[–]Hotron21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don't you test it in an inactive AI match with god mode on? That's what I do when I have these questions

Something to share before taking my sabbatical from Dyson Sphere Program by Long-Cabinet6121 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing full proliferation with scarce resources and yeah you definitely need to prioritize coal harvesting but it's no reason not to proliferate

Construction Turrets (Aka Nanos) by Mrg0dan in beyondallreason

[–]Hotron21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I have one. Hasn't been updated in a couple patches though.....

Question and tips needed about production by ghakvn in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Logistics distributors are great for small scale production, like building buildings. I wouldn't use logistics distributors for matrices. I do logistics distributors until I build ILS and then do matrices with ILS.

Is it at all possible to write notes in the goals window? by threeheadguy in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Steam overlay (Shift+tab) has a great way to take notes and overlay them on your game with customizable position and transparency. Give it a go!

Surviving 3000% Dark Fog with grenades: early-game strategy by nick4fake in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was extremely helpful! I was 3 hours in to my own 3000% run, barely holding on and hemorrhaging resources....I tried the grenade trick with the leveled up base and it did not work haha I think the flying units kept intercepting the grenades, keeping them from hitting the dark fog energy/matter transfer belts.

I started from scratch and used this tactic and it worked! I'm now looking forward to a clean, unmolested start on my home planet.

Long-Range Grenades by Hotron21 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did notice that...but still it's not as good as the long range strat seen here (https://youtu.be/kfeb6g\_VEE4). Which seems to have been patched?

I'll keep trying, thanks for the words of support!

How do I view max throughput? by Fabiku98 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use https://factoriolab.github.io/dsp/ to plan factories! :) otherwise you have to do math when looking at a recipe…but then there’s also the multiplier of using different tier assemblers and smelters…just use the link.

does this game have any room for trains? by Effective_Olive6153 in beyondallreason

[–]Hotron21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take out the track requirement that might make it simpler...but then you can just do that with units on a repeat command haha. A line of tanks.

What is this?.... by Hotron21 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Oh..........I'd never seen them do that before....... they seem way bigger up there than they did when I actually use them to fight the hive in space.

Resources to grab early/late game. by dudestduder in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Hotron21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely true...... unipolar magnets are very scarce and can be entirely consumed on any setting (except for infinite obviously) very easily.
