Dyson Sphere Program Dev Tracker

Hi engineers,

Before the 4th update log in this week, I would like to introduce the MINIMUM requirement of being visible (the threshold to see yourself appear) on Milky Way:
1. One solar sail or Dyson Sphere node is launched
2. The savedata's version is 0.7.18 or above;

Dear engineers,

We have reached the start of Civilization Type III. In the future, the Dyson Sphere Program universe will become even broader because of our joint efforts.

Before we go to the update log, CentreBrain wants to send you some special tips that will affect your game progress:
·Crude oil becomes a consuming resource. The less crude oil remaining in the blowout well, the more difficult it will be to collect. The extraction efficiency can be down to 0.1/s. To keep your extraction efficiency, you can change the resource magnification setting and upgrade the mineral utilization level.
·The Cluster Seeds are different from the old version.
·You need to reopen the file to experience some of the newly added content
·Blueprint is NOT included in this update yet but on the way!

[Version 0.7.18.6914]

Features:

• A Brand New Milky Way View- Civilization Type III System

Hi, engineers!

It is already our promised DeadLine of an update, and our work is still in full swing! Today we have made some tips on issues that players may be concerned about for the coming update. Here we go!

QA for the coming update
Q: Do we need to start a new game after the update?
A: We are bringing lots of new content in this update, like new planets and modifications on recipe values. All the new changes can only be seen in a new savedata created after the update.


One of the new planets

Q: Will the savedata we play now still be available after the update?
A: Yes, you can still continue the game with your current savedata after the update. However, you'll not be able to see the new contents in the old version savedata. In addition, some of the recipe modifications may... Read more

In this announcement, we are bringing the dish menu to you!

Our team has focused our energy on several issues that are of great concern to the engineers, and Dyson Sphere Program will achieve a major update in mid-to-late May.
This won't be a earth-shaking one, but it will certainly remove many obstacles for the engineers' work.

Upcoming update plan in May
1. Re-coded construction system to bring the new mass/chain construction.
In order to better support the new convenient functions in the future (such as blueprints), we have
(1) Rewritten nearly 10,000 lines of code of the construction system
(2) Split the code of... Read more

Hi engineers,

With the coming of April, we are about to enter the rhythm of medium / large scale content development, and a new round of difficulties, and an intensive development schedule. It will take a lot of time, but we will forecast the content of the upcoming patch earlier to facilitate you to plan and prepare in advance. For example - the quick copy of the sorters is on its way.

Let's see the update log today:

Hi Mechanics!
Creative mode Update 0.5.0 is finally here!

New creative mode worlds
Welcome to the new and updated creative mode! Not only did we make it look better to go hand in hand with the survival world but we also finally added water to the creative terrain. All trees can now be cut down and rocks can be drilled. Excellent for testing out ideas for your creations in Survival mode. We also gave the flat world an updated ground texture.
The new one should give a much better sense of movement and speed.

New capsules
Both bot and animal capsules have been added to creative mode.
Place them on the ground then shot or hit a capsule to release them into your world.
There is a lot of fun things you can do with these. Check the useful chat commands below.

Bot combat
Paint bots in different colors and see them attack each other.

Hi Engineers!

Dear engineers,

We were just astonished to find that the power generation and power consumption of the facilities remained unchanged after a 'quick upgrade'. It is a bug and we are going to fix it soon.

We're sorry to inform that a decline in the electric power supply should be expected after the bug fix, and it may result in large-scale blackouts. Please understand that Centrebrain executes no half measures. So, Engineers! Please prepare your power supply plan and develop the power grid in advance to overcome the upcoming Centrebrain's firmware update.

We will also be adding a function for you to see how the savedata is adjusted after the game version is updated.

Thank you for understanding and support!
