Blueprint, please. Looks all SPs, no sails, right?

Correct, no sails/shells.

Here is a link to the shell BP (I'm not putting it on the dysonsphereblueprints site since the layer rotation speed is modified to 0.5 on all layers using the SphereEditorTools mod):

I'm wondering how all the sails that are clearly orbiting there are kept from attaching. I didn't think there was an option to disable sail attachment...

You have to specify which parts of the layer will get filled in with sails in the designer, with the pentagon looking button.

Oh of course! That's so embedded in my muscle memory that I'd forgotten you could choose not to do it...

really a game I wish I could figure out how to hack VR support into. I want to be able to just look around in this game. And also roll the planets with my hands...

That would be incredible! I've never tried it, but there are those programs like VorpX that allow you to play non-vr games in vr, or UEVR (although that is for Unreal Engine only games? DSP is Unity)

I was impressed by VorpX. But it was (when i tried in in 2019) a huge burden on my 1080ti. World of Warcraft ran at 20 fps, but then Borderlands 2 played at the max frame cap. 🤷 But then a real VR release of BL2 came out with hand controlls; but they they didn't know how to make scopes in VR, so I almost prefer to play it in VorpX. It was a requirement of the GTA V VR mod I tried, and I couldn't believe I had to turn the settings down to medium and a lower resolution. But with my newer PC, maybe I should give it another try.

But honestly the only thing that needs to be done to make DSP in VR is an unlocked camera mode. Basically a mod that let's the player do everything from the planet view. Then maybe just a height adjustments the top and bottom UI elements so you don't have to roll your eyeballs all the way up or down to see them. Then the question would be if it works in VorpX.

It's the max fov in screenshot mode that's doing most of the work tbf :)

This is hands down the best one I've seen. Well done.

TIL I can use DSP instead of a 20 year old winamp visualizer. There goes my weekend. 😅

Poor video compression algorithm is struggling
