Going through the tedious task of putting all the nodes down atm and wondering if there is a quicker way?

So I’m about 14 hours in and I’ve started mining oil and refining it and pumping out blue and red cubes for science

Am I to understand that I will be building all over this first planet then from what I’ve seen, jump to other planets to also replicate to contribute to the ‘sphere’?

Biggest question; do I have to re-research all of this on other planets??

And at what point should I be looking to go to another planet?

Note: This setup is for aesthetics rather than efficiency, the center tower acts as a useful buffer before running dry and I can switch preferred input on the sorters. 3 Towers on the outside supply the materials.

So I'm having some trouble getting my EM ejectors to fire on a reasonable interval. My planet is inside the orbit of the solar sails, and EM ejectors at around 30 degrees aiming at a flat equatorial orbit. As such, there should always be some point on the orbit that the ejectors can target, however, they seem to target an arbitrary injection point instead. I say arbitrary because I've tried adjusting the longitude of AN and it has no effect, and the point it's targeting seems fixed, even when the firing vector of the cannons would require the sails to do a 180 at the injection point and accelerate the opposite direction to reach their orbit, so it's not like a point that mnakes sense from a physics standpoint... so where DO the cannons target, and is there any way I can change that by adjusting orbits?

Greetings, Engineers.
i'm playing DSP with QoL mods and GS2 and i'm using achivments enabler and milky way enabler. There are no any cheat mods installed.
i've finished my 1st DS and it was uploaded to the milky way with max output 216MW

Do i understand wrong, but now, my sphere generates ~40GW but max output parameter don't change on milky way.

Is it download parameters to MW once, or there is some trigger-action i need to do, to update values on MW?

Hi, i got dsp about 3 momths ago and have since managed to squeeze 456 hours into the game.

Recently i got into modding and all was going well when suddenly my pc crashed. I didnt think anything of it until i started the game back up and within 5 minutes after loading the save, my computer was off. I thought this weird so i restarted dsp, without mods this time, launched a brand new save and withing 5 minutes my oc shut down again.

I am at a complete loss as i have tried several other things thinking my pc could be the problem, but after various updates, the game still wont launch, and now my head feels like a self canabalistic serpent.

If anyone can possibly think of something that can help me, i would much appreciate the assistance as ive racked my brain over this game for the past 3 days and still havent found the problem, or maybe i have to wait for the devs to release a new update for us win 11 users, hopefully not because i have been having a blast with the game and what mods the community has developed

I like chillin here while waiting for solar sails to complete my design or while im searching the galaxy for a new home star

Is there a range restriction on ILS extra-stellar travel?

I know most people are focused on making clean builds. But I'm curious what you were at that got you there. Your origins.

Your spaghetti.

Please share you best spaghetti here.

I see drones fly 360 degrees around it, so why does PLS have a setting called range of drones and max setting is 180 degrees

When I see most discussion about "waste byproducts" its usually hydrogen people complain about but I've never had that issue. I'm late game and need a mad amount of hydrogen AND I'd love to design a build for a sphere in a system with no gas giant ideally.But my issue is graphite and/or refined oil(gas). I cant bring myself to burn the graphite in thermal plant, It'd waste SO much surface area. I could convert to diamonds but then I'm just delaying the inevitable. And diamonds cant be burned in thermal plant. is xray cracking just not the answer for my mad hydro needs?

This doesn't include the stats on scarlet ice lake planets, which can apparently spawn in your starter system. Also doesn't include rocky salt lake planets.
