Hi engineers,

Today we bring you the promised FAQ regarding the coming major update. Are you ready? Let's go ——

Q1. Is it required to start a new game to get the full experience of this major update? Will there be something went wrong with load an old version savedata?
A. You can experience all the new features and contents in this major update with an old savedata.

Q2. What systems are optimized in this major update?
We have completely re-do the Dyson sphere system, especially the performance of the Dyson shell. Besides, AGAIN the size/length of the savedata file has been optimized, so you can find the Dyson sphere related savedata's length are significantly cut after this major update.

Q3. What is Mecha Customization?
It is an in-game system that you can change the appearance of Icarus and allows you to design your own unique Mecha.

Q4. Do I need to upgrade my technology to customize my mech?
Under the current version you c... Read more

Hi engineers,

Hello engineers! We are writing the new progress on Blueprint system to you!

Our progress on Blueprint:

• Select multiple building using a frame dragged by the mough - the frame doesn't have to be square, it can be a circle!
  
• Generate blueprint data of the frame selected field
  
• The preview of applying/using/restore buildings of a Blueprint. All the buildings part have been finished, while the Conveyor Belt and Sorter part are still in process.
  
• Realized constraints of applying/using/restore buildings by a Blueprint.

Frame Select and restoration:

Hi engineers!

New updates, a step closer to the Blueprint! In addition, we are continuously optimizing the operation experience of the conveyor belt construction. In consideration of the coming system and its stability and balancing, please understand that some ‘good’ bugs that you are using may be fixed in the near future.

[Pickup: This update adjusted the recipe of battery, rare ore, and fuel rod. Check your assembly line if there's some!]

Hi engineers,

We made some hotfix for the reported problems.
This announcement is combined with the 0.7.18.7085 log which just updated, and the 0.7.18.7070 version updated 3 days ago,

[Version 0.7.18.7085]
Changes:

• [TAB] is no longer the key of output fliter of Logistic Station because of hotkey conflict. You can use [←]/[→] to switch the fliter of Logistic Station from now on.
  
• Optimized the data length of Solar Sail in savedata - now each Solar Sail occupies 57 bytes of savedata (1,000,000 Solar Sailes≈54.3MBytes)

BugFix:

• Added Error Message for Multi Thread system (The previous version didn't have error prompt for Multi Thread and it may caused further data error). Please know that this Bugfix will lead 'red message' for the savedata with errors.
  
• Fixed the bug that the number of 'Number of Engineers' may display incorrectly in Milky Way
  
• ...

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

Hello, engineers！

The Producer's message has opened the tip of the next update for you.

(If you haven't checked the video yet, see here:
)

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,

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.

Hi Engineers!

Spring is coming! Icarus can't feel warm or cold, but we human beings can still be cold at spring. The Chinese old saying ask people to keep warm so that everyone can be healthier in the summer. Have a try!

We also brought you some new features and fixes today. Let’s take a look!

Hi Engineers!

Today is the tree planting day in China. Although we cut down a lot of trees in the game, please be eco-friendly in reality ;).

Hi Engineers!

CentreBrain is ready for the bug fixes!

[Version 0.6.17.5831]

• Fixed the bug that the facility' power consumption was not upgraded after a 'quick upgrading'.
  
• Fixed the bug that the facility' animation was not upgraded after a 'quick upgrading'.
  
• Added a function of 'Savedata Modification' log. You will be able to look up how your savedata was adjusted after the game updates. We added it In order to prevent the similar situation in the future and reduce some impact of facility data adjustment.

Thank you for your continuing support! You can send your feedback in Discord[discord.gg] and Google Form... Read more

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!

Hi Engineers!

Here comes our first update in March. And, an important functional update is also coming soon!


[Version 0.6.17.5827]
Feature:

• From now on, the savedata will also save its creator's ID. The players will be able to see the savedata creator's ID in the right upper corner of the game.
  
• Improved some UI interactive SFX.

Changes:

• Data reduction of Dyson shell. The length of archive data generated by Dyson shell is reduced by 50% ~ 60%, and the save/load time is reduced by 20% ~ 30%.
  
• Data reduction of Sorters and Assemblers.
  
• The research materials won't be returned immediately after the research list is suspended. This change is made to avoid the loss of items caused by the logic of "No item will be returned for fractions of a count".
  
• The scene at the end of the prologue is improved.
  
• Now you can storage/pick f...
