Dyson Sphere Program Dev Tracker

Hi engineers,

How's your Icarus get dressed? xD
In the Mecha Customization Contest just ended on February 20, we have received a lot of submissions. We are so impressed by you engineers' creative works and it is hard to select just a few of them as the winners.

The result will be announced at March 9th. Before the winners are determined, let's have a glance at some of the design submissions from China.

Our huge Thank You for all of your support for this event!

Dear engineers,

As you can see this is not a patch note. We are publishing this announcement because we are going into the Chinese New Year holiday starting January 29, 2022 until February 9, 2022. We'll take a good break, and then come back and continue our work to bring you exciting new content in 2022!

Thank you for your support throughout the year! We wish you a happy Chinese Tiger's year, and good fortune for everyone!

Hi engineers，

It's 5 days away to Chinese New Year holidays. Happy Chinese Tiger's Year to everyone!

[Version 0.9.24.11271]
Changes:

• Optimized build operations for Conveyor Belts, Spray Coaters, and Traffic Monitors. Now the Conveyor Belts can automatically snapped to Spray Coaters' corresponding ports correctly.
  
• Added arrows of the Proliferator to the item icons appearing in the facilities panels.

Bugfix:

• Fixed the bug that the camera operations in the Dyson Sphere Editor and the Mecha Customization Editor were not compatible with the key mapping.
  
• Fixed the bug that the proliferate points of trash cubes were calculated incorrectly.
  
• Fixed the bug that the item icons in the panel of some construction facilities were not calculated by rounding down.

Hi engineers，
We just fixed A-Little-Bugs.

[Version 0.9.24.11240]

Changes:

• Modified the algorithm for splitting proliferate points when splitting, consuming, and shipping stacked items. The algorithm has been changed from rounding up to rounding down (the rounding down method will prioritize consuming/splitting the parts that don't have Proliferators to bring a better experience).
  
• Optimized the manufacturing logic of Assemblers and Smelters under proliferated conditions.
  
• Modified the way the enhanced fuel works when put into the power station: If it is normal fuel, the same value of energy and power will be increased; if it is an Antimatter fuel rod, then only the power will be increased and the total energy will remain the same.
  
• Optimized the construction of the Spray Coater and adjusted the building collision range of the it.

Bugfix:

• Fixed the b...

Happy weekend, engineers!



“The Icarus' Evolution" version is out now, and our light industrial mecha Icarus finally has its own “Dressing Room” – the Mecha Customization panel, where every engineer can modify Icarus from head to toe!
Are these modifications just to turn Icarus into a "heavy industrial mecha", or a "Waifu", or something else coming... well, don't rush to peek into the mysterious future, but grasp the present!

Show the community how you "dress up" Icarus on Discord, Twitter, or Reddit, and you may receive a gift from CentreBrain!



How to participate?
Use the in-game "Mecha Customization" function to design an appearance for your Icarus (NOTICE: You ... Read more

Hi engineers,
We just fixed A-Little-Bugs, hope you have a nice weekend with Icarus!

[Version 0.9.24.11209]

Bugfix：

• Fixed a bug that it may report an error placing pro-building ghost when applied Blueprints from pevious version.
  
• Fixed a bug that the upper limit of the Traffic Monitor was when it was actually 7200.
  
• Fixed a bug that the Dyson Shell refreshing may delay after a style changing.

• Now you will see an error message if the mining machine is covering more than one veins.
  
• Fixed bugs that some production data was misjudged as abnormal.

Greeting, engineers!



It's getting closer and closer to the major update and the Chinese New Year holidays. CentreBrain may also looking forward to the vacation, but it's not time to slack off in catching up on the patch development...!

This time we sneaked out some pictures from the major update version. As we already know, "Mecha customization" is a very important feature in this update, where we can design a unique external armor for Icarus. It is not just about color, but the shape, the armor piece of material, decorations, back to spread the "light wings"... Wow, Icarus is already the light of Dyson sphere universe, but after the update, you engineers will be able to design an exclusive shining light for it.
