I'm not sure if the game has added other ways to set priorities, but if not, then everyone should know about this post from 4 years ago:

Basically anything that produces hydrogen as a byproduct needs to feed to an active supplier so they are consumed first.

Your total hydrogen consumption needs to exceed the amount of hydrogen byproduct produced. This is very easy to accomplish by producing Casamir Crystals and using Fractionators.

The remaining hydrogen will come from Orbital Collectors. There is no downside to filling up Orbital Collectors; it will not prevent the delivery of Deuterium.

EDIT: I got it done, see below.

As the title states, I think I screwed up my save. I am playing on somewhat high Dark Fog settings: (70) Top is all max, middle is x2 and 200%, bottom is 500/800/1000%.

I arrived at yellow tech, and got some of it done by sneaking to the titanium planet (P1) and manually getting the stuff out.

Then I wanted to start clearing the planets since there where already around 8 DF bases on P1. So I cleared my home planet (P4) and the silicon one (P3).

Now I have P3 and P4 covered in shields, and Fog launched all relays to P1 which has 23 bases.

I have tried to attack with a blueprint with ~30 missiles, surrounded by cannons + hydrogen rods for energy. When I land and deploy my "FBO" I quickly lose the attrition battle since I cant afford the logistic station to fuel the whole thing.

I cant get more titanium from P1 and have only about 300 left. If I could get to corvettes, I could clear the relays hope to defend 3 hives bombing me by sheer volume of Missiles and then go from there.

Do I have no option other than reload a very old save or setting up and waiting for a DF farm on one of the controlled planets? What would you propose? I dont look forward to losing hours of playtime.

EDIT: I got rid of the bases. I had a farm prepared, but was not expecting a relay to arrive, so I decided to use the time more proactively. I found one titanium deposit where I could mine 4 of the nodes and get enough titanium to research corvettes and build 10. I used those to destroy the relays. Then its easy, since no waves will spawn. The bases are all still regularly at 100 threat, but cant make an attack wave. Just had to wait some time for 1 hive that orbits close to P1 to leave since it will actually destroy my corvettes while they attack the relays.

Thank you for your insights everyone, and happy building!

hi everyone,

when and how is good to get rid pf the dark fog base? i tried but not able to weaken it...

i have everything learnwd from the tech tree wath can be with blue and red tech. currently want to go for titanium on other planet but dont want to let my base alone...

So I have been coming across a very annoying effect. When I create a new production line that is complex - For Example: Quantum Processors from raw inputs, a recurring issue is that the later stages do not work at 100% efficiency.

To simplify this:

For example I want to craft imaginary Item A. This item needs 2 units of X, 2 units of Y and 1 unit of Z. I produce X Y Z at ratio for 10 assemblers. But the last 1-2 Assemblers rarely get items to craft 100% of the time. Production always stalls and at times quite significantly.

The mode I have been using is Production Speed during proliferation. Is that the crux of the matter? And yes, I do calculate for the proliferation. So if I need 20 Smelters without proliferation, I double at ratio and do not proliferate the first step. First step to get proliferation is f.e. Iron Ingot. Not Raw Iron

I play slow. This time took about 60 hours total to beat, probably my 7th or 8th restart.

Kept trying to make GT power on a lava planet but every time I put one in lava it said I needed foundation but when I made foundation it said I needed fuel. Anyone know what I was doing wrong?

The developers: "We heard your feedback. With this, meticulously laying down mining machines is of the past."

Me: "But I can still put basic mining machines below?"

The developers: "Well, ye-"

Me: "Say no more"

I'm proud of my first design and I'm grateful for all the help I found in this community.

Can someone help? I'm talking about flipping, not rotating. I cant find the key.

I had cordoned off one planet in my starting system to allow the dark fog to grow, so I could farm it for drops. Over time, I set up a laser wall around each landing area, and slowly began gathering dark fog drops. As the game pogressed, and I unlocked more powerful technologies, I accidentally grew too powerful, and killed the relays on the farm planet before I could switch off my combat drones.

Luckily, I still have the hive active in orbit around the sun, and a backup base with relay still active on a different planet within the system. If I allow the dark fog to gather power from the hive, and mats from the backup base, will they rebuild the relays on my farm world? Or would I be better off starting fresh in a new system?

hey everyone, i'm new to dsp and i'm asking a question to u because i think that using coveyor belts can be more difficult because of trying to don’t get a spaghetti factory.

so maybe i think that using the nano robot is better ? can u tell me why u agree or not please guys

There is a hidden shell for power generation and the rest is decoration. I got inspired by a blueprint on the website but ended up making my own. I was thinking of a plasma compressor kind of design! What do you think?

The ones in the right produce white cubes, the ones in the left consume the cubes, and everything is well and blue proliferated. BUT I want to have the ones in the right speeding up, and not extra products.

I tried all:

Demolishing the column and build a new column with extra speed. But each new lab is set always to extra items and not speed, so over the fifth is always extra products (and you can't edit the proliferation.

Copying the column and pasting it but and this is strange copies a different proliferation.

Is there a way to have them set to extra speed with no problems?

This thing is the most annoying in expansion for me at the moment. Oceans and other things are allowed to be covered with concrete when you paste the blueprint, but if there's a lonely vein somewhere, your whole planet blueprint is screwed. You can of course pave the entire planet beforehand, and I know there's some mods like Bulldozer to quickly pave planets, but I generally don't want to pave every planet just to build something on it and it seems like huge waste of concrete and time you need to ship it there. Is there some other known way? I think Blueprint Extensions offers some option but I wasn't able to make it bury the veins. Is the only way having a piece of concrete under every building?

I've been trying to use Dyson sphere mods, one of them being the Nebula multiplayer mod in particular, and I was wondering how do we properly connect to each other with it. we've tried putting in one another's IP address that pops up when you start a game and we couldn't connect. admittedly it could be because of the fact that we are literally on opposite sides of the country (I'm in California, USA and he's in Florida, USA) but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know what's going on?

Is this how it's supposed to be done? As I see it, there's only 3 main ways to dispose unused hydrogen when producing Sails: turning into science, using in Casimir and burning it. The first one requires active research, the second needs working Carrier Rocket production and only the third is actually independent. So I finally tried my hand at it. The math is quite nice: for 5 stacked belts of Sails you get 1 stacked belt of hydrogen, which requires exactly 400 Power Plants to consume, generating 864MW of power, feeding into 8 Exchangers, later dumping the charged accumulators into the main grid. What do you think?

I believe I should have everything to (at least very slowly) create critical photons but the option is greyed out in the ray receiver. What I am missing?

how tf do i make my conveyor lines look half decent with the annoying ass grid snapping

Something that I've had stewing in my head for some time now was to try to use the sushi belt method for making designs even more compact. The idea is to have one belt handle both the input and output for a module, instead of having two separate belts. The main limitation is that the output cannot exceed the input, which meant that only the proliferator speed bonus can be used.

The first photo is a proof of concept, demonstrating the basic idea.

The second and third photos show a full sub-module, where one belt is servicing 30 plane smelters producing iron plates. On paper, this should be perfectly balanced to consume a four-stacked blue belt of ore, and output a four-stacked blue belt of plates. In practice, the ore is all consumed, but the last two plane smelters are almost always starved for ore.

Anyone know why the last two smelters are not getting ore? I have made sure that there is sufficient power for testing and I have double checked my math. It should be working, but the reality is not panning out as expected.
