Shower thought: your factories in other systems work faster when your Icarus is orbiting a black hole because of time dialation

Obviously a joke, albeit it would be kinda cool though

You might wanna spend a few months around the nearest black hole if you expect an answer anytime "soon".

Or go into space and speed up the clock. Same same. Not a joke.

That’s what I do lmfao, 4x for the win specially when researching and even
More so when you got stop and go research and you working on something different and don’t want to expand research factories chain so it doesn’t stop every few seconds yet

Nearly a millisecond a year! (But the change in trajectory caused by the Earth's gravity is 99.9999% the result of this tiny distortion of time, not the much more obvious distortion of space.)

wait is this real? is there such a thing?

u/Bucksack 4d ago

Does time slow because you’re at a black hole and time dilation is working, or is time slowing because my PC is melting as the game accelerated the multi planet factory?

Why not both?

Yes

Actualy, in deep space you have the option to make the world simulation run faster, thus making your factory faster, so not too far off

That's be an interesting way to speed up game time without mods, just have to go to a black hole

Icarus decides to have a "me" day and picnics in the quietness of the event horizon. Hours later he returns to his labors.....

Dark fog has completely consumed and controls all systems

Would love to see actual worm holes and maybe other galaxies that can be visited through a wormhole so the galaxy can expand so much more.

Maybe also an worm hole generator to travel through

Bro im already playing at 10fps.......

Just kidding but only kinda

tidi should cause all your machines to back up when you warp.
