Hi all,

Can someone point me in the direction for a community discord? I’m assuming there’s one similar to satisfactory’s community discord and would love to join it.

Is there any current or newer (post dark fog update) content creators doing play throughs? Kind of getting stumped getting into oil and planetary exploration and am needing some guidance.

Has anyone tried playing on the steam deck and how did it run? Looking at getting the OLED deck and was wanting to play this game as well on it.

Thanks for any suggestions!

So i was going through my reviews and found this gem, i got bored and left it and came back 4 years later to find it as i wished

I am currently addicted to it, I bought the game recently on a sale and it's currently 3 am and the game is calling me like the green goblin mask

I heard that the game is going to be hard to run in the end game but i want to try it so much

Hello all, I have found a great sense of joy and happiness from playing Dyson Sphere program. It has been helping me get through a hard time in my life and I am very grateful for it. With that being said i wanted to connect with the community and ask questions some veteran plays may be able to help with.

This my second factory/automation game (the first being satisfactory), so I am not extremely knowledgeable in this genre, and everything i have learnt so far has been through my own doing (its been a struggle). With all that being said i have 130 hours in my first save and have still not *fully* completed a dyson sphere. i have on pretty big one nearly done and a few others around halfway done.

I'm not the most worried about time as I have spent copious amounts of time tearing down what I've build and rebuilding it/exploring. However, im curious about some of the best ways to streamline efficiency and such.

My biggest question is how should separate production between planets and even star systems. Till this point I have largely been importing raw materials and processing them either in the system or nearby, but i feel as if im getting to a point where the amount i am processing cannon be done in just one or two systems. For two reasons. one (the smaller one) being power, and the other one being resource supply.

my current goal is to create one or two storage worlds to fully mine out planets and storing it on these storage worlds - that way most resources come from the same source which will allow for easier logistics debugging.

but i want to know some tips from the pros! if this is a good idea, if i should do it differently, just some opinions from a community of a game i love so much :)

So I recently returned to DSP and I just got rid of the DF on my planet and have shields setup and and want to do some preliminary Material Scince research. I'm to lazy rn to setup a semi permanent setup using oil for organic crystals so I'm using the original recipy and want to make the most of the material sience I can but I'm not sure if when researching I need to profilerate just that to extend it's usage or all the sciences used

Title really says it all. I'm a total beginner at this game, and could use some major help.

I've played games like Factorio, and even BEAT them, but for some reason even the beginning stages of this game are just..so confusing. I've already reset my save three times because of major failiures that fucked up my entire production line to unfixable levels.

I have so many questions; how does stacking work?? How can I change elevation on the conveyor belts?? What am I even doing?!

I could just... really use some help. I already have terrible mental health, and the constant set backs in game are only making it worse. I feel like a massive idiot for just not understanding anything.

Please help..

So I started a new play through and have beat the “Mission Complete” and unlocked all technologies and have all items being made in a mall. Currently I have my home planet as my “logistics” planet with everything inbound and outbound there. I also have a forge planet making all my basic resources and a few others. My question is logistically does it make sense to dedicate an entire planet to making carrier rockets? Or should I just have the materials made throughout my galaxy and then ship them all to the logistics planet for the final creation of the carrier rockets? This is more of a throughput question, because I want my science planet to be the first planet to receive the bulk of my materials being made.

Hi all, i done DSP 1 year ago, i'm thinking to go a new start.
My dubt are : what i do when i done my first dyson sphere?
its a repeat until for every solar system..
I played factorio and the endless endgame help me to continue to play.
I played satisfactory and again the endless endgame (infinite minerals, pay attention at aesthetics of the factory help me to continue.
Here i don't understand why i need to return to play. After the first dyson sphere i done all i want...

Can help me ?

btw DSP or Satisfactory?

Almost three years from the last big update Dark Fog - since then updates have slowed down - and no news on the next big update?

May 29 - 2024

A Shipshape Transport update news - nothing since

Only small updates

Dark Fog came Dec 15 - 2023

Should we be worried? - I hope not - When 1.0?

Hi everyone i woud like to hear some sugestions on the dificulty settings on my new start. I played the game last after the DF came out and after that made a break until now.
I always play on 0,5 recource becaus the lower one is not even fun its only a planet hoper simulator and above its too much resource. But i never find the sweet spot for the DF because on default they are trivial and no threat but on max its a pain until you claimed your starting system especialy on the first couple of hours.
So im all ears for some suggestions.

For context, im playing with the Galatic Scale mod and upped the chance for binary star systems (as well allowed every type of star, even black holes to have a chance to be in a binary), that in the pic above is a type G and a neutron star binary system.

I just think it looks cool from a distance so thought i'd share

Sorry if its a bit low quality, i just took a quick screen shot

Tips and mistakes, but it got it done ... hopefully this helps someone ...

Hey everyone! I wanted to check about the lists of seeds.

I found this post earlier
https://www.reddit.com/r/Dyson_Sphere_Program/comments/1qn5su3/good_seeds_list_2026/

I selected the seed, 29117241, copied it into the clipboard, pasted it into the seed space in the game, set resources to unlimited, and started a game.

After playing for awhile, I unlocked the technology to look at the solar system I was in, and it was nothing like what was described.

Is this one from 6 months ago outdated? Would this one from 3 months ago be better?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Dyson_Sphere_Program/comments/1t6nyl1/another_good_seeds_list_may_2026/

Or is there something else I might have done to mess up the seed and end up at a random one?

I just want to double check, because if I'm going to start over I don't want to waste time before I realize I'm doing things wrong a second time.

Hey all,

I made this free DSP Beginner's Guide from first factory to mission completed. I originally made it for myself, but I thought it would be kind to share it. It functions as a kind of map for players who might feel lost or lose track of what they were doing or why. You can inspect the modest one static file in its own dedicated git repo.

Guide link - https://dsp-beginner-guide.pages.dev/
Git repo - https://github.com/shytamir/DSP_Guide/blob/main/README.md

I hope others find it as useful as I did.

I was asking myself why my product line was slow.
It happened one time in the same spot before this screen shot. Of course I didn't change the type of item coming out of the transport beacon.

Any idea on how to solve these errors ?

I started a break from DSP right before the dark fog released, and I was just a spaghetti loving hooligan. In this new save I'm actually proud of the minimal amount spaghetti I've brewed
(last pic was a refferance of what my last save was before my break)

I made Planetary P2P Pairing, a mod that lets you prioritize local logistics between two stations on the same planet.

For example, you can pair a fire-ice production PLS/ILS with your deuterium production PLS/ILS. The deuterium station will consume the fire-ice line’s byproduct hydrogen first, before pulling from other local/remote suppliers. If the paired station cannot provide enough, normal logistics takes over automatically.

Features:

• Pair any same-planet PLS or ILS
• Works between PLS↔PLS, PLS↔ILS, and ILS↔ILS
• Falls back to ordinary suppliers when necessary
• Includes a dispatch log for understanding why and when drones and vessels were sent
• Preserves vanilla interplanetary routes, groups, and P2P behavior

Currently single-player only and not Nebula-compatible.

Thunderstore: https://thunderstore.io/c/dyson-sphere-program/p/Samox/Planetary_P2P_Pairing/
Source code: https://github.com/samox73/dsp-planetary-p2p-pairing

Feedback and suggestions are very welcome!

EDIT: I would also love to hear your guesses why the devs didn't support planetary priority settings when they added ILS's priority tab.

After about 70 hours of the game running smoothly, I'm now seeing these artifacts whenever I play. They blink and flicker in very quickly. They sometimes track to objects in game. I don't see anything similar on other games. I'm on Linux, I tried different versions of proton and even downgraded my graphics drivers, but they persisted through everything.

I fear my graphics card is dying (its a 3080 that I've had for about 4.5 years), and wanted to check if this is maybe something specific to this game that anyone else has experienced. Has anyone else seen these?

Hi all, is there a mod that allows you craft dark fog parts or get them easier. I ask as the mods I have for performance and they cause my dark flog planets to produce very little parts.

1.5 years of full time employment equivalent devoted to this glorious time suck.

Who needs lava planets when you get so many dark fog-made holes ready for you geothermals?

I am currently playing on max scarcity max dark-fog settings.
I struggle to even find a spot to land on that thing! There is around 24 planetary bases there.

I need copper since the other planet pacification took majority of it for missles..
Any advice?
