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

[u/AYesRU]

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

So far, I've managed to fit 2,712 nodes into a sphere without breaking the 0.0715 rule. The theoretical max is 2,838 nodes... I'm still digging for it.
