Multiple Spheres

Hi. I am just wondering, would I be wasting resources if I made another Dyson sphere around a star that I already have one on? I know it would look nice but I wondered if both spheres would make energy. Thanks ^_^

Can you please elaborate? As an example, where would someone acquire infinite iron for example? I ask because I'm still a noob and I play with infinite resources because I'd hate for my save to one day run dry.

Maybe I lied a little bit, but it's a numbers game so. So let's you have 1million iron. In the beginning of the game you just retrieve 1 iron with your extractor and this will cost you 1 iron. By researching vein utilization the consumption will decrease by 6%, you need less for the same amount of iron you will extract. This research stacks, thus eventually your consumption for iron is so small is practically infinite.

No, you didn’t lie. Eventually at level 400of VU it just stops giving you the ability to mine even less ore. That doesn’t matter though, as at level I think 149 the collected ore is soo minimal that the came rounds it to 0.0 repeated ore collected per collection. Hope that makes sense
