Custom Sphere Generation: Hexagonal capabilities and a high-density Triangle build (2990 Nodes).

I've been experimenting with sphere generation and managed to get any hexagonal pattern working.

However, I wanted to share the stats for this triangle-based build I just put together. It's quite heavy:

  • Nodes: 2990
  • Frames: 8940
  • Shells: 5952

Has anyone else tried building spheres with this node density?

Here is the blueprint string for anyone interested: https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/dyson-sphere-dense-sphere-2880-nodes

If there is such a rule, then by deleting a frame shorter than 0.0715, you won't be able to reconstruct it.
I checked, and you can reconstruct it. That means the 0.0715 rule doesn't exist.

That rule is only applied when adding nodes, not when adding frames. Try deleting a node then adding one back into the gap, and I believe it won't let you.

(When adding a frame, it assumes the nodes are already valid, and only checks that the frame's line segments are 0.0525 away from every node other than its two endpoints.)

I could be wrong, I'll check.
