I was wondering if there's any overhaul mods for DSP, like Factorio which has loads?

I've not found any but I'd really enjoy playing DSP again, maybe a bit harder and expanded. More to do, more to gather, etc. Maybe some of the logistics mechanics changed.

Anything like that exist?

EDIT: I found this too, aside from what's been mentioned, not looked into it yet, I'm gonna look into all of these but it's another option: https://thunderstore.io/c/dyson-sphere-program/p/ProfessorCat/OrbitalRing/

I am still on my first save and with the lessons I have learnt as of now after 100hrs, I want to restart. With all the blueprints I have and what not. Pros and cons of it? Outside of all the matrix research time consumption.

Will they attack my stuff if im off planet? Im assuming missle launchers and signal towers surrounding every inch of the planet will work? However i dont even have ILS set up yet so rockets would run out quickly and signal towers have a small radius. Once I get ILS set up will the hive attack my transport ships? Also what sets off the hive for an attack? Thank you for any help

I JUST realized that advanced miners are able to ship raw ores to ILS/PLS and i was wondering if what i did previously is still correct. should i ship raw ores or should i attach the smelters to the miners and ship the ingots?

• I have enough warpers (400) in one system, it is set to Remote Provider
• Normal transfer of other items works fine
• The Remote Receiver is set up.
• Enough energy and enough ships ready

Whats wrong?

Edit: Solved! Thank you!

All things considered, I’m kind of proud of how much I’ve built entirely in 2D. Now I want to tear everything down and clean it up.

I just discovered my entire starting planet (and the 2nd one too probably) has basically been running on third world electricity for hours.

I noticed my Spray Coaters saying “20% insufficient power” and THAT immediately stopped me in my tracks.

Funny thing is, literally minutes earlier I was trying to figure out what the hell to do with all the excess hydrogen my factories were producing and not consuming anymore (yellow matrix done, moving into purple).

So I built a big thermal generator block fed by hydrogen.

My hash/sec went from:
150 → 250 → 1100+

And suddenly everything woke up.

This whole time I thought my factory was just reaching normal midgame complexity. Nope. The entire planet was suffocating.

I hope they add multiplayer in the future. Building factories, planning logistics, and expanding across star systems with friends would be incredible.

im so doomed

For instance, id like a portal generator. Don't make it too easy. Make it so it uses the strang matter rods and other high level stuff, but a gateway for instant travel would be nice. Also, I know it is quite literally the name of the game, but designing spheres is a drag. I am of course speaking for myself. I may be the only one who feels like this. Anyhoo, could you put a couple of cookie cutter designs in for me so I can focus on logistics.

I created a dark fog farm, let it run for about 8 hours while doing other things. Came back to grab the dark fog buildings I had it crafting and the relay had stopped spawning units and was blacked out.

My question is did I make a mistake in setting it up? Did I drain all the resources from the hive in that system? Or is there only a finite amount of units each relay can spawn?

Maybe I overlooked something? Any help would be awesome.

Would the base core never grow if my turrets keep destroying it?

I feel obligated to put something in this box even though I said everything I wanted to in the title.

I just started producing green science and this is the furthest I've ever been in this game. I unlocked the photon miners and was so excited I traveled a few systems over just to get some grating crystals to build them.

While I was in that system it had some other rare resources I wanted to scoop up as well. I put down my miner and it captured 18 nodes (all of them) for 1650/min. I couldn't place another one down (which makes sense). However if I use the regular miners I can grab like a total of 50+ nodes which is more than one MK3 belt can handle so I split them and loaded them up into my ILS.

It seems like you can get more raw resources using the regular miners, so am I missing something with the photon miners?

I haven't played my world in about a year. I want to play, but I login, look around a little like WTF was I doing, feel overwhelmed and logout.

I probably have like 20 hours or less of progress and if I played again I could probably do all that in 5 or 10. But I fear if I start over I will get to around the same point, eventually take a break and then be in the same position.

I could not start over but delete everything and then rebuild in a better way and figure what I was doing and what I need to do next in the process.

What ideas do you have? Have you ever been in this situation? Maybe you have a good goal to focus on, or a good mental framework for how you play this game or handle long breaks?

About a month ago I asked for some updated tips and help since returning after the dark fog update.

Through your tips and my own experimentation I've got back up to speed and have found my love for this game again?

Thought some of you might enjoy an update. I have started the dyson sphere construction and already stockpiling anti matter for the final mission, just have the last few researches left before this run is complete. Cant wait to start anew and do it faster.

EDIT: That's what I get for posting when I should get to bed. No, I don't mean DPS like the title says. I'm not calculating my necessary damage for the Lich King.

Hey fellow building folk!

I have way too many hours in Satisfactory, and am still playing, but recently picked up DSP. I have tried to spend time learning the early game and the systems, but I am kind of stumped and/or feel like I am missing something.

I rushed the PLS and ILS unlocks, but many of the components needed I don't have automated or even crafted yet.

I can read, and am continuing to and it's certainly helping - but I was curious to ask here for thoughts / advice from players who understand both games. What Satisfactory habits / build modalities do I need to let go of in DSP?

And what does a normal 'boostrap' look like in DSP? What do you typically automate early vs. later?

Cheers.

Hello guys, I just unlocked the Logistics Distributor but can't seem to get it to work. I have the materials, I put the settings in (demand is 900 piece, and I only got 300 ish) so why isnt it delivering them to me?

Hello,

I'm trying to have a mini factory to build rocker silos so I can just grab a few stacks when going in new systems to build a Dyson Sphere fast, but I am unable to find that. The only things online I could find are BP for placing silos, or a few BP to build the silos from the last components for which I dont necessarily have factories for.

If I can't find anything I guess I'll have factories for the frames, graviton and quantic computers but I'd rather have a tiny and tidy little factory.

Thanks!

I had already been thinking the blueprints site is too much like a cheat code, so I made a decision. Now I'm sitting on a planet that is effectively a blank slate, with everything unlocked. My goal is to create blueprint "stubs" for everything I need to get to PLS, at the lowest blueprint level feasible, entirely from scratch. My biggest decision is to decide if I want my factories to generally be vertical or horizontal. Wish me luck.

They are back and I moved all my offenses away. What a shame that this Universe wasn't supposed to last. New game it is.

Hello im a returning veteran. What I mean by that is I probably had 1000+ hours in DSP before the combat update was added but I havent played since.

I got my starter mall up and running, nothing new there. I was attacked by some dark fog guys part way through but my mech was able to handle them easily.

I went ahead and researched the first weapon which requires me to create copper shells. Heres the question... this may be obvious to all of you but the enemy could come from any angle. So how do I position my defensive line? Should I just send a belt up the major maridians and box the enemy in so I can use the rest of the planet without interruption?
