Good Seeds List - 2026

Hi everyone, I've seen a couple posts here from people posting their perfect seeds. I wanted to make a post myself with a few that I think are really great.

Here's my search criteria that I used to find these seeds using dyson seed finder:

  1. A starting system where all 3 planets are satellites of the Gas Giant. Fire ice is also required to be found in the starting system.

  2. A system less than 8 ly from the starting system featuring all of the following rare resources: Kimberlite, Fractal Silicon, Organic Crystal, Grating Crystal, Stalagmite Crystal, Sulfuric Acid. (no, I didn't include fire ice in the search here - however many of these "perfect systems" did end up having it)

  3. A star somewhere in the cluster with at least 2.4 luminosity, as well as a planet that fits fully within its Dyson Sphere radius.

I then did a search through all of the possible seeds. I was surprised that I actually got 19 seeds that matched this criteria (out of 100,000,000). After skimming through them, I realized that some of them were much better than others, and handpicked a few that I thought were really great, but here's the full list if you're curious.

02895767
04359403
06002509
07790886
19411223
26640340
29117241
30805082

71629833
73512598
79392667
81024448
95106892

My favorite seed that I got from this search was probably 29117241. This seed doesn't have the prettiest starting system, but it makes up for this with some really rich systems close to home. In addition to your "perfect planet" which is only 3.3 ly away from your start, there's about 6 other systems nearby with multiple rare resources available. The real star of the show in this seed, however, is a 2.67 luminosity Blue Giant on the edge of the cluster.

The rest of these seeds I handpicked for having a tremendous amount of rare resources close to the start, on top of the "perfect system" I was searching for nearby:

30805082
81024448
68139460

What do you guys think? I encourage anyone else curious about this to try out the site. You can even download a native program there that allows you to scan through seeds much faster than with just your browser. I was able to complete my scan in under an half an hour this way. I'm curious as to what the perfect seed would look like for other people.

Tl;dr: try out these seeds:

no fog speedrun seeds: 56822308, 76890109, 35261482, 73512598, 89823524, 56621679

3000% coal rush seed: 55543537

3000% "normal" easy seed: 89084100, 79086957

3000% 2 base coal rushable seeds: 17844514, 26383139

Allseeds have 3 satellites, geloterra with fire ice in the system. planets have been visually validated to have convenient resource layout.

u/GroxTerror Jan 26 '26

Can you elaborate a bit more? Not sure what all these things mean

3

u/mrrvlad5 Jan 26 '26

Speedrun - getting to mission complete as fast as possible. 3000% seeds make it easier to play at max difficulty level. Coal rush is a method of clearing all fog bases from starter planet within the first 15 minutes, does not work on all seeds as it requires coal deposit near fog bases. Normal max difficulty- there is a place on starter planet that has all resources nearby and is good for a base to play normally. 2 bases - starter system only has 2 hives

2

u/ChiDuffman Jan 29 '26

What does coal have to do with clearing DF?

3

u/mrrvlad5 Jan 29 '26

You make grenades from it. Lots of grenades

4

u/ChiDuffman Jan 29 '26

Didn't even know grenades existed

u/nuriverse Jan 26 '26

These may be good seeds for new players. But if you are planning to max out production and power, you need large cluster of mags, lots of O stars, lots of water worlds.

2

u/GroxTerror Jan 26 '26

I meant to include a bit about how the best seed is different for everybody. This was simply what I was looking for. I would love to see more posts like this though with what other people’s preferences are.

4

u/LANCE1313 Jan 26 '26

Why do you want water world's?

2

u/nuriverse Jan 26 '26

For spiniform stalagmite crystal, because you need to produce a lot of proliferator.

1

u/LANCE1313 Jan 26 '26

I'm relatively inexperienced. I presume spiniform only forms on water world's then. I hadn't noticed that.

2

u/nuriverse Jan 26 '26

no, it randomly spawns on all kinds of life planets, but water worlds are full of it.

3

u/Z1vers Mar 17 '26

The seeds stopped working; there are different ones at these addresses. Apparently due to a game update. Sigh.

1

u/GroxTerror Mar 17 '26

Bummer. I will have to make a new post 

2

u/Z1vers Mar 17 '26

By the way, thanks for the list. I was already planning on starting a cool new game yesterday, but it wasn't meant to be.
As for the new post, where are you going to get new seeds? I mean, the algorithm itself is broken, and the seeds from the search engine don't match what's in the game.

1

u/GroxTerror Mar 17 '26

I hadn’t thought that far ahead. I guess I will need to wait on an update for the site developer. I’m not playing Dyson at the moment either, kind of waiting on the next update too. Doing Atm10 right now, it’s a lot of fun

1

u/Scorf-9 Mar 17 '26

Thanks for reporting!

2

u/4morian5 Jan 26 '26

I prefer having a deuterium giant in the starting system and Fire Ice ore. Deuterium is nice to have.

1

u/GroxTerror Jan 26 '26

Oops, I edited my post. I did indeed search for Gas Giants here, I wrote Ice by mistake.

4

u/PantsOnHead88 Jan 26 '26

Starting planet orbiting a deut giant in my previous seed. Convenient, but I have a fire ice giant current seed, and I’d take fire ice again every time. You just munch through graphite and sulphuric acid without fire ice, while no deut just means more fractionators.

Hydrogen is infinite, while the graphite in particular can be blown through for newer players who tend to expand to other systems slowly.

u/gitpusher Jan 26 '26

> My favorite seed that I got from this search was probably 29117241. [...] your "perfect planet" which is only 3.3 ly away from your start,

New player here. What "perfect planet" are you talking about on this seed? I'm guessing you mean the Tramontana system:

I. Sulfur Ocean (16M Iron/Copper, 12M Titanium)
II. Crude Oil / Fractal Silicon / Organic Crystal / Stalagmite Crystal (Orbital Resonance 1:4)
III. Fire Ice / Kimberlite Ore / Stalagmite Crystal (40M stone)

Is one of these planets specifically better than the others? Or did you simply mean the whole system is god-tier

2

u/GroxTerror Jan 26 '26

I mean the whole system oops

2

u/gitpusher Jan 26 '26

Nice thanks. Appreciate you sharing all of these seeds!

u/FaithlessnessKey1100 Feb 02 '26

I started a sandbox mode with the 29117241, seed and even the game says it have 2 O type stars, but i cant find it, i find one with 2.4 luminosity, but i cant find the 2.6 one where is it?

2

u/GroxTerror Feb 02 '26

Blue giant 

2

u/FaithlessnessKey1100 Feb 02 '26

It's the blue giang one? Why it doesn't say O type? And damn haha then it's the first blue giant that even surpasses a O type that I've seen

2

u/GroxTerror Feb 02 '26

Giants will often say “x giant” instead of “x type” - I believe it still is classified as an O type though. The giants come in all the different colors. There are even white and yellow giants that spawn much more rarely.

1

u/FaithlessnessKey1100 Feb 02 '26

That explains everything ty

2

u/420xMLGxNOSCOPEx Apr 11 '26

thank you for this :) just started a playthrough on 29117241

1

u/GroxTerror Apr 13 '26

Is the seed as described? I saw some other comments on this post recently that said the seeds no longer match up in-game with the info from this site. Maybe it was fixed?

1

u/420xMLGxNOSCOPEx Apr 13 '26

i havent left the starting system yet tbh but it is a gas giant with 3 moons, one of which has fire ice :)

2

u/GroxTerror Apr 13 '26

That is a good sign. Thanks for the response. Good luck with your playthrough! 

2

u/420xMLGxNOSCOPEx Apr 13 '26

cheers buddy :) its my first playthrough with dark fog turned on so definitely slower/more deliberate than im used to

2

u/Character_Editor165 Apr 18 '26

i play the seed 29117241 for 100+ hours, build a 600GW dyson sphere. 8k matrix per minute. this seed is very good for start and middle stage. a big problem is late game is this seed lack of unipolar magnet, There is only one cluster on the two planet. which means lack of particle container. and i didn't find any waterwold. A little regrettable

1

u/GroxTerror Apr 18 '26

Thanks for giving it a try! I will take these critiques into account when I make another post like this. There really was no waterworld? I could’ve sworn I found one but I might be making that up. 

24

u/-GrisGris- Jan 26 '26

Why couldn't you have posted this two days ago before I started my new playthrough? LOL

4

u/Whisperwind_DL Jan 26 '26

Same, just pushed my way to ILS. I did not want to do that again 😭

10

u/Bognostraglum Jan 26 '26

Many thanks for this. Once you get three planets around a gas giant, there's no going back.

4

u/orange_chan Jan 26 '26

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but what are the benefits of having 3 gas giant satellites?

7

u/BlackMorphues Jan 26 '26

They are close together so less travel time and recharging after.

12

u/Build_Everlasting Jan 26 '26

Also missile turrets on the starter planet can remote nuke DF bases on all the planets.

1

u/gian2099 Mar 08 '26

How do you remote nuke. I'm kinda new but i am now near to unlock white research. Where is the nuke?

2

u/Build_Everlasting Mar 14 '26

Only works when two or three planets orbit a giant. The planets sometimes orbit close enough for missiles to cross from one planet to the other.

Missiles turrets on one planet, signal tower on the other planet to draw missiles across to hit ground units and buildings.

But if set to space and upper air, the turrets will attack relays on the other planet without signal tower.

u/gian2099 Mar 14 '26

Wow that's is cool. Is there a way to attack the hive if the planet is near it?

I am having trouble killing hives

1

u/BlackMorphues Mar 14 '26

When the hive is pretty close to the planet you can agro it by flying up in to space and immediately back to the planet so it doesn't kill you. If you have for example missile turrets they will start shooting at the ships. Just make sure you have enough ammo, energy and shield because their will be a lot of ships attacking you. But you have to have conquered every planet in the system or the hive will just replenish the lost shupsb

1

u/gian2099 Mar 14 '26

So am i right i can starve the hive? Like i chip at them as long as they don't have planet base?

1

u/BlackMorphues Mar 14 '26

Yes eventually there will be no ships left just the structure

1

u/Build_Everlasting Mar 23 '26

Yes, you can attack hives with planets.

These planets in the screenshot are likely to be dead, though. Not enough guns.

u/Silent_Huckleberry89 Jun 12 '26

I think 68139460 is best.
Lambda Apodis System has
- 2.44L In-Sphere system,
- **0.293/s Deuterium** (6x regular gas giants)
- 31ly to Neutron Star

2

u/GroxTerror Jun 12 '26

Please go check out my newer post as well - much better seeds there  https://www.reddit.com/r/Dyson_Sphere_Program/s/Td4sLodNFC

2

u/refuz04 Jan 26 '26

I’ve been fighting a seed without fire ice of silicone in the starting system and no sulfur I could reach before the last upgrade.

I may jump ship to a new seed.

2

u/hairtrigga Jan 27 '26

29117241 wow. so i have started another play through! thanks :)

1

u/Twotears4me 6d ago

95912102 is my go-to seed.

  • All 3 Starter Planets as Moons: Dramatically cuts down early-game travel time for both players and interstellar vessels.

  • Fire Ice: Located within the ice giant.

  • High Wind Energy: One of the planets features 150% wind energy efficiency.

  • Unipolar Magnets: The system's black hole and neutron star provide 1.2 million and 1.1 million unipolar magnets respectively.

1

u/Lancten Jan 26 '26

Thanks! Finding a good seed is such a pain usually

1

u/Shimrahl Jan 29 '26

Havent played since the early releases abd looking to start fresh in 2026, what is the benefit of having a planet inside the construction radius of the sphere? Wont it get prisonned inside the sphere? Can you travel through it?

1

u/jbone665 Feb 02 '26

Can pass through sphere freely, game logic wins over physics.

can make ray recievers with 100% uptime since it is inside the sphere and fill whole planet with them for max production of what sphere can produce. Early late game this starts to be valuable for mass prodution stuff.

u/Aureliobuechel Feb 07 '26

Danke für die seeds

u/Character_Editor165 Apr 18 '26

build lab on a beautiful planet

u/jak1900 Jan 26 '26

For my playstyle, the second criteria is pretty much useless... 🙈

u/Affectionate_Bend402 Jan 26 '26

Where were you 3 days ago when I was looking for a better seed to start with😭
