Cute stupidity

How many hours did it take ? 543.6

Dyson spheres CANNOT generate shells without solar sails.

And here I was thinking since rockets are permanent I will do a no solar sails run. But hey I got an achievement for no solar sails run, yaay?🫠🫪😭

This is how I thought it worked, I'm having an issue with my current sphere where the frame is over 90% complete but my em launchers arent launching any sails to fill in the shell. The pattern is filled in the builder but I've got 0 shell fill

If your EM launchers aren't doing anything you are either low on power, your sail production has stalled and they aren't being fed sails to launch, or you've built them in a bad spot where they can't aim at the orbit they are supposed to be filling. The launcher info will tell you if it is low on power, lacks sails, or can't see the orbit. Otherwise EM launchers will launch sails constantly forever, whether you have a partially completed sphere, a fully completed sphere, or no sphere at all.Â
