so we've reached this games natural conclusion. Watching this series got me to start playing again, but I too never finished my dyson sphere. My laptop just couldn't take it. It was fun while it lasted though...
Thanks for finishing off the playthrough. Good to have some diversity on the games played. Look forward to a factorio pyanadons run! (Maybe just a live stream vs clean edits...)
Awesome, thank you for seeing it through almost 250 hours is a crazy amount of time! Sad the Dyson sphere didn't get finished, but then again not much point at the current stage of the game. Would love a "lessons learned"/"what i would do differently" video! Also thank you for sharing the save file, it looks like my own save with some work and finishing the dyson sphere has a bit of stretch left!. At 1:1 setting I'm getting 18 fps/ups on average (without the dyson sphere showing), that being said I only get 4 UPS extra going 1:5. Would be interesting to see what newer CPU's would be able to do but looks like just running the game skews tot he same. Got a game crash on deleting the sphere though :D
FJ, you never really upgraded your Logistics Carrier Engine level: saw it was only at Level 15. Your Drones and Vessels all travel so SLOWLY! So much of your throughput problems would be solved with some faster ships!
Love your "black boxes", but I would have a few "stand alones". One being carbon nanotubes from stalagmite. Much less demand on warpers and transport ships, if you refining it on the water world. It's a 3 to 1, meaning 3 ships of ore for 1 ship of nanotubes. I'm gaining back much UPS modifying my current game this way. Also, solar panels are a hugh hit on UPS.
Wouldn't it be 600 billion? as 60 million x10000 is 600 billion (that works out to 30,000 hours btw). I assume you did 6000000x0.011? that calcuates at 1.1% loss as its a percent, you should multiply by 0.000011 to get 0.011%
Will be interesting to see a future run of this game with an eye on the performance panel from day 0, and the improved resource management (assume we ever get there in 3 years). I suspect the science rate limits could be increased now that Francis has a better understanding of these tools. So often I find paying attention at the start helps me understand the fundamentals which aids in scaling long term.
Who know, maybe a max difficulty run would also help get this before 3 years out :P (Though I think it would mostly hamper early game, eventually one gets OP. Bots can't upgrade, though maybe they should add that feature.)
Duno if it would be worth it but it might be worth building the "what I would have done" version of the science while it's still fresh. Then save the blueprint for next time.
DSP takes you back to old-school gaming, where you outplay the game until it breaks. Except then, the games got faster and faster; now, DSP just gets slower and slower until it's unplayable.
Thank you, that really has been a ton of fun! Maybe when a couple of update have changed the game again, you revisit? From the announcement of the upcoming revamping of space combat, it looks like Dyson Sphere Program will integrate elements of Cosmoteer/Avorion (or Space Engineers, wink, wink!)... I have integrated proliferate and antimatter fuel rod production in my current research pizza slice (cramming 900 per minute white cubes into it, but importing nanotubes and particle containers instead of stalagmite and unipolar magnets). Not 100% happy: sometimes proliferate does not reach the furthest sprayer, so that blackbox "only" outputs 810 per minute on average and needs a little bit of tweeking.
Thanks Francis, excellent run! I agree that black box design, particularly those that fit in the pizza slice exactly are the biggest value gain to scalability. Im wondering if you will create some ready blueprints and share them on DSB? Particularly those that are super robust (ie anti-failure) and multi function. Would love to see you take a stab at optimizing your black box designs for maximum compression and functionality whilst maintaining proper "legal" beltwork. I think a few blackbox designs aside from the fuelrods one which might be good to consider include proliferated graviton lens for people who use loads for power production. And also probably a black box mall from raw, for either buildings, ammunition or both. Thanks again for the excellent run and inspirations! P.s. playing this game made me feel like playing starsector for some reason, had an excellent run of that too using invictus capital, eradicators and your LP Brawler meta! Haha
In your overview episode you should try dropping into the middle of a dark fog base and clearing it out, then speed up the footage to see what things would look like at the base 60ups if the game weren't struggling.
just as you cant stop playing i cant stop watching your content even if series got me bored half way through ;) What's your PC specs? I remember there was video about you puting your new rig together, but cant remember specs :(
Your commitment to overkill never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for the whole series-it was amazing from beginning to end.

It's been an absolute pleasure to watch, thanks for sticking to it.

great series man! between this and ONI i've been thoroughly entertained
I don't know what has been under more stress in this playthrough. Francis' brain trying to come up with better black boxes or Francis' computer.
Thanks for the series, Francis. I, for one, much enjoyed it.
Loved this playthrough francis! Appreciate your approach to game and look forward to more :D
What an incredible journey. Thanks for making it so entertaining!
I really enjoyed this series, thank you!
Lovely run, thank you for going so far with it.
Got home from a 12 hour work day. Tacos, rum and coke, and this episode. great way round up my day. Hope to see you with some cyborgs on ONI.
That was fun, thanks for taking it as far as it could go.
Damn, I'm sad it it didn't get finished but thanks for pushing it so far.
Thanks for finishing this up it is fun
Did you remember to run the universe matrix to win?

Was about to come in and make the same-ish comment.
Greatly enjoyed the video series! Looking forward to the next craziness.

Always good to see people playing DSP. Thank you :) Techtonica next? Would love to see you play that
Don't stop until you hit seconds per frame
DSP takes you back to old-school gaming, where you outplay the game until it breaks. Except then, the games got faster and faster; now, DSP just gets slower and slower until it's unplayable.

This save should be a benchmark test
In your overview episode you should try dropping into the middle of a dark fog base and clearing it out, then speed up the footage to see what things would look like at the base 60ups if the game weren't struggling.
Ty for the series cant w8 for whats coming next ❤ (eaven if iam sad for Not seeing the completet dysen sphere but its fine)
Day 59 of eagerly anticipating FJ doing ridiculous things in Factorio Space Age
Gleba will break him, for no more than week.
Gleba breaks us all
Thanks for playing the game for me lol
You don't need a supercomputer to play a game...
...
DSP I'm here. Factorio, I was here first. Satisfactory, Don't count me out. ONI, I've been duped.
freeeeze the watertank!
def. think you should paint every planet green for Ireland before finishing this run. :P
So... Factorio gigabase next? :D
Your save game makes my 3900x & 3070 cry. Time to upgrade lol
just as you cant stop playing i cant stop watching your content even if series got me bored half way through ;) What's your PC specs? I remember there was video about you puting your new rig together, but cant remember specs :(
Please play factorio soon
Hey @Francis, i hope u do know that you can mine unipolar magnets in neutron or black hole system, do you?
Are you proliferating your rare resource materials and subcomponents that are built from them?
What it looks like? Im guessing somewhere between 5-10FPS? If your PC dosen't crash that is 🤣
More like 60 billion stalagmite crystal, but who's count at this point, lol. Actually, I be;ieve it's 600 billion at 0.01%
Pointless comment
rookie numbers obviously buy a second pc so you can make more(sarcasm btw)
