It's been three years since the launch of Dyson Sphere Program. Time flies, but our adventurous journey among the stars continues. What fades away with the passage of time is only time itself, while the great miracles we collectively forged stand eternal in the cosmos. It starts with every small step. The first miner, the first smelting, the first Electromagnetic Matrix, the first launch of solar sails, the first operational space transport – countless firsts have made the Dyson Sphere Program a reality. Thank you all. With the update of the Rise of the Dark Fog, the combat system has been introduced. The upcoming Dyson Sphere Program will be even more exciting. In the next phase, the Dyson Sphere Program will revolve around "Vehicles" (we haven't defined a name for this version yet) and "Space Stations". Of course, Dyson Sphere Program is an automation factory game, so updates in this part will continue to appear. "Vehicles" and "Space Stations" will have extremely high freedom, providing engineers with the joy of freely constructing. This is a major update that requires much development time. So, be patient and continue to contend with the Dark Fog. You can get a sneak peek through the images below. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38718364/a48d8b2b9e799a7a2bd6774a7c8d81e9c43bb0c7.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38718364/1743a665790ea8380aefa5846dc8b0ec6ef8dd2d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38718364/3d4d35118e01276c250e5ea41341f0000d74817c.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38718364/7c3617b330544704ea7dd9b5fa3fc6f003e6bfbd.jpg At the same time, with the arrival of the Spring Festival, we will be taking a break. After the Spring Festival, our team will kick off an internal game development competition lasting two months. This is a tradition in our team to maintain the vitality of exploring new ideas (perhaps ideas for future new projects) and improve our production capabilities. Please look forward to us creating more interesting content. During this period, functional updates will be paused, but optimizations and bug fixes will still take place. As for updates, we have prepared a substantial update before the Spring Festival, including new sorters, new defense towers, Icarus's new skills, and more. Please stay tuned for further information. Finally, thank you once again for your support. Wish you an Happy New Year in advance.

Fixed a bug where Seed cannot set off to create a new Hive. Patch Notes 0.10.28.21219Jan 4, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHi, engineers, We've recently received numerous reports of in-game errors and data corruption caused by the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints, including "belt-free" blueprints and vertical conveyors. These issues involve misalignment of building connections, issues with conveyor, and more. While these blueprints offer a certain level of convenience, it's crucial to be aware that their designs may not strictly adhere to the game's rules, posing a risk of save errors. Due to the potential complications arising from the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints, we strongly advise against their use. If you still plan to use them, please backup your game saves beforehand to prevent unforeseen issues. Users are responsible for any problems that may arise from the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints. Thank you for your understanding and support! ----------------------------------- Patch Notes 0.10.28.21219 Now when the player is on a planet, the space fleet will only be automatically summoned when Lancers attack, not when the Space Hive is too close.

Adjusted drop rates for killing Dark Fog; drop rates for different items will now be tied to planet types. When resource multiplier is set to "Scarce," drop rate multiplier is 0.3x; when set to "Infinite," drop rate multiplier is 2x.

No worry. We are on holiday. (But our publisher is not on holiday XD We plan to update the game on December 29th, making adjustments that will bring some changes in gameplay. We hope you can get acquainted with these changes in advance. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38718364/5aeb8459746b3dab2b779e769eca1a70fb145915.jpg · Dark Fog Drop Rates While many engineers enjoys farming Dark Fog (and it's a joy not to have to construct production lines!), we intend to adjust the drop rates of some key items to avoid disrupting the gameplay. Additionally, the drop of certain basic materials may be influenced by the planetary environment; drop rates will be tied to resource multipliers, meaning 0.1x resources will be more challenging. · Space Combat Due to the incompleteness of space combat in the current version, the attack methods of players are relatively limited, and numerically, there may be situations where Dark Fog overwhelms players in space. Therefore, we plan to temporarily reduce the overall difficulty of Dark Fog (space). However, as we continue to update and improve the space combat section, the difficulty will return to normal. · Updates Regarding the Space Section We've noticed some players saying, " space combat will be updated after the Chinese New Year". We're sorry. Space section is a very complex content that won't be updated so soon. However, there's no need to worry; we will gradually improve the game and promptly inform everyone once certain details are confirmed, keeping you informed about future updates. ---------------------------------- We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
