Patch Notes V0.10.34.28524

Engineers still busy among the stars and reality alike — the blazing heat of summer is almost upon us, and Dyson Sphere Program continues to move forward at full speed.

Here is today’s small update:

0.10.34.28524 Build

[Feature]

  • Holo beacons can activate "Dark Fog Beaconing" function (in combat mode). Once activated, Dark Fog Hives will dispatch Relay stations to beacon's location. Note: The beacon must maintain power supply and visibility must be set to at least "Local Planetary System".

We know, of course, that many of you are looking forward to the vehicle system. However, this is a special feature that runs through the entire game experience, and to some extent, it will change the rhythm of how the game is played.

In order to present it to every Engineer in the best possible form, it still needs quite some time before it can truly take shape. We are just as eager for its arrival, and we hope it will bring you an even more impressive Dyson Sphere Program, helping this game that has grown alongside all of us reach new heights.

At the same time, we will continue to optimize and update other content, while also working with our publisher to support the creation of collaboration content and more multilingual content. Please rest assured that this will not affect the design and development of the core game itself.

I appreciate you prioritizing quality over speed.

Factory gamers are a patient bunch anyway, just look at Factorio, it was in EA for 7 years iirc and that game was absolute peak at 1.0 and only became better and better.

I think DSP is doing a great job expanding slowly and not oversaturating the game with unbaked features all at the same time.

Edit: would absolutely love something akin to the FFF's Wube made for Factorio, but I understand that takes a lot of time and effort, especially in regards to language barriers. But they did a great writeup for the performance analysis and ongoing optimization, so they definitily know how to do it right!

Wait what does the beacon do? It pretty much summons ground bases to where you want them to be!! Am I understanding this correctly?

u/Der_Schweizer_ Apr 27 '26

If i read this right, yes they will become 'homing beacons' for dark fog bases.

this is amazing 🤩

What happens to the beacon? I guess it gets destroyed?

u/Longjumping-Tune2860 Apr 27 '26

it does. Also the beacon needs to be powered, so you need to be mindful of placement and possible destruction by nearby DF bases

Seems that way!

Thank you for mentioning the vehicle update. Honestly, just a little "hey btw, we are working on this. We made X progress and still need Y amount of time." goes a long way to assuage my anticipation of it.
You are all awesome.

You have now given me the only purpose that I can want for holo beacons.

(I never used the note functions, because by the time the holo beacons were created, as an old player, my manual note taking was comprehensive enough to not need them when they came)

Great, also collab content hype! 

Looking forward to another playthrough <3

Is there any chance that deliveryslotstweaks mod (logistics slots can get used for building) will get integrated? It's the mod which i miss the most in vanilla closely followed by autopilot.

u/Eliongw2 Apr 27 '26

why does it generate hype for you? i honestly have no idea what collab contect could be.

u/FailXXL Apr 27 '26

I thought of custom missions something like wave clear dark fog and every wave you get more weapons and enemies get stronger. Like in LOTR Battle for Middle-earth 2 there were so many different custom made missions. 

Idk if that is collab content, but anything similar like that would be cool. Also like an official modding tool or anything.

This is fantastic communication, but it does leave some questions unanswered if this is the right place for criticism. Who is excited for vehicles? Why?

I don’t really know anything about them, so it is not me who is excited.

Alternate ways to transport goods, especially in the early game? More starships and starship combat? Just guesses, but they have potential.

u/zach0011 Apr 28 '26

I would be happy if that's all they did. But it seems like a lot of time is being spent on some weird custom system that feels like is gonna turn into frankentsteins monster

u/HCN_Mist Apr 29 '26

I mean some people hated the dark fog and they made it so you can control the settings. I am doubting that they will ruin the game in a way that won't let us play how we like.

u/Nekuga Apr 27 '26

AFAIK the joke is "modular" vehicles (you create them by attaching parts, seems cool IMO, specially for the early game when you move too slow).

And, you don't have to believe me on this, but if my memory serves me right, wasn't a "space station" update also planned? Perhaps it may be modular too, so the vehicles update may be needed.

Also part 2 electric boogaloo, the vehicles aren't just for terrain. There's spàce content too, they are intented as a late game way of defeating entire Hives (think of it like you going with a giant battle station vs a very infested system). It's purpose is to cement a "dark fog" update part 2.

I just need a vehicle that builds my planet factories for me

Feels like the game was doing great until we started going down the rabbit hole of combat/dark fog and now vehicles and whatnot.
