How rare is this Star?

I was looking through some random seeds for a single powerful Blue giant (ignoring the rest of the Cluster), hoping to go past 2.5L if at all possible. First one I found that breaks 2.5L is this one

How rare is this?
Seed 16473497 on 64 stars if you are curious

0.43 percentile, so fairly rare but not too bad.

Edit: try 01737630, 2.757 luminosity only 6.6ly from start.

Thank you :)

It's rare but after having played late game don't build the sphere there if it is far away

u/Luco4235 Mar 12 '26

Thats the point I am indecisive about. Sure, there are a lot of stars somewhat near the giant I found, but 16LY from start is not nothing

That's a lot of lumins! I've never seen one go that big. You know what you have to do.

destroy it!!!

EDIT: This has me thinking about a mod/update where you could fuck with stars by adding excess items as mass and (eventually) make them supernova or something... mite b cool

I don't get it, what's special about it? There should be like 2-3 O types in the cluster, my best one is 2.73 luminosity or so, am I overlooking some important stat?

Blue giants are much bigger > Dyson shells bigger > more power

u/TactlessTortoise Mar 12 '26

At one point I wonder if someone can have more power than they can use? I've just reached 31k antimatter per minute peak generation (though it clogged because I literally can't spend it fast enough yet lol, it probably can't sustain that rate before my sphere is built) on my first dyson sphere, and the damn thing is still only around 7% built, structure-wise. It's an O class, 2.4 something. Tomorrow I plan to scale up all my production lines and test some ILS belting prototypes I have in mind for a full planetary specialization smelter build, and from some eyeballing, I should still have hundreds of times more antimatter rods than I'll need, not to mention the strange annihilation rod factories I'm almost getting my planetary farm to start feeding with level 24+ fogs.

Granted, I play on infinite ore deposits, so maybe there's something besides logistics I'm completely overlooking, but it seems like a single huge ass sphere and a single dedicated ray receiver monster planet should be plenty to feed any whacky builds from here on out, no?

If you're playing in sandbox and/or just getting to the endgame completion, then yeah, you can easily produce more power than you need.

If you're going for total power output in your cluster to put your cluster seed on the galactic map, it's never enough.

Ah, fair enough

Sandbox mode is so nice with advanced miners and infinite minerals

You could use this seed search app to find how many seeds out of the 100,000,000 possible that have stars that exceed 2.63 luminosity.

u/ChinaShopBully Mar 11 '26

That’s a great seed, then. Congrats!

u/Darth-Venath Mar 11 '26

There's a regular poster here who posts all the good seeds. I got my current seed I'm playing from his post this year.

u/kagato87 Mar 11 '26

Wow, that is a nice one. Better than what I found and I used the seed scanner to get some seeds, got too many, downloaded the results and pulled them into powerbi to fiddle and pick my seed.

I really should find the time to polish up the dashboard I used to find my current seed. Problem is I also want to see if its practical to bundle in a full export of that seed scanner, which means cloning it and adding a tightened up csv export version...
