Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.23.9808 - November 18th, 2021
Good day, engineers!
In this patch, we are bringing you a new function: "Traffic Monitor". Literally, It will display the amount that cargo is passing through the production line. You will not only be able to monitor the passing radio by reading the number, but also hearing its alarm sound. ...... hmm? Why does it sound like a piano? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AekPjNwVuy0
Features
- Added Traffic Monitor. You can build it on the conveyor belt to monitor the status of the production line.
- Added Global Alert System. You can activate this feature to monitor the status of some buildings, for example, to see if the last smelter is working.
- Add full icon option. You can select various icons for Blueprints, Conveyor Belt, Traffic Monitor, including alarm signals, items, recipes, technologies, upgrades, etc.
- Added Global Alert function for Traffic Monitors.
- Added Speaker function to the Traffic Monitors. You can configure alert conditions and other parameters.
- Added 24 new tones to the speaker. This includes 5 alarms and 19 instrument sounds.
Changes
- After landing on a planet, the navigation line for the planet's direction will be automatically removed.
- When exiting Dismantle / Upgrade Mode, the range operation (F2) will be automatically reset to a single point operation (F1) to prevent subsequent malfunctions.
- If the plant is destroyed while building, there will be a special effect of destroying the plant.
Balance
- Changed the "Automated Maximum Stack" of raw materials from 20 to 4 in Matrix Lab manufacturing mode, while the maximum stack for manual operation remains unchanged. The purpose of the change is to accelerate the warm-up speed of the production line.
- Change the "Automated Maximum Stack" of raw materials in each manufacturing plant from 5 times the recipe demand to 3 times, and the "Maximum Stack" of raw materials for manual operation of the smelter to 50 times. The purpose of the change is to accelerate the warm-up speed of production lines.
- Increase the limit of the number of blueprint buildings in each mass construction level.
Bugfixes
- Fixed the bug that the amount UI was wrong when using the Mining Machine to cover the veins in infinite resource mode. All UI displays under infinite resources mode were also modified.

Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.21.8562 - September 16th, 2021
Hi engineers!
When you finish the update and enter the game, you'll find the Icarus is kinda different - Yes, Icarus the HD Remastered! New textures, cool animations, and even more hardcore (face) landing technology! Along with it comes new types of gas giants, factory rendering efficiency improvements, and other enhancements.
We've looked at a few ways to save engineers from having to reopen a new game every time a new planet type is added. For example, we tried the method of "leaving the visited planets unchanged and re-randomizing the unvisited planets", but we found that the randomization process was too complicated that the visited planets may also change under it. So now we are adding "subtypes" of planets to solve the problem.
Take a look at today's update.
Features
- The model of Icarus was remade. It now has high-resolution body modeling and textures!
- Now Icarus has more colorways. You can press C to open the Body Panel to change the color scheme.
- Added jump animation for Icarus.
- Added 6 different standby animations for Icarus.
- Added 4 sub-types of gas giants (gas giants that have not been reached in the old version savedata may become new sub-types of gas giants after the update)
- Added 1 new main type of gas giants. It produces hydrogen/deuterium at 84%/16% (It can only be visible in the new game)
- Added 1 atmosphere sub-type for Arid Desert (Arid Desert that has not been reached in the old version savedata may have the new atmosphere sub-type after the update)
- Added 9 types of rocks and 9 types of gravel decoration to the planet Ashen Gelisol (Ashen Gelisol that has not been reached in the old version savedata may have the new types of rocks and decorations after the update)
- Added LOD1 / LOD2 rendering levels for Matrix Lab. The rendering frame rate will be improved on planets with dense Matrix Labs.
- Added LOD1 / LOD2 for Fractionator. The rendering frame rate will be improved on planets with dense Fractionators.
- Added LOD1 / LOD2 render levels for Solar Panels. The rendering frame rate will be improved on planets with dense of Solar Panels.
- Remade Space capsule model and textures.
Changes
- Optimized the Icarus animation blending.
- Optimized the steering controlling when Icarus running and flying.
Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.20.8116 - August 23th, 2021
Hey engineers!
We have done some, hmmm, subsequent updates from the last update. Hope you Icarus have a happy Blueprint and a happy game!
[Version 0.8.20.8116]
Bugfix
- Fixed a bug that the Conveyor Belt could not be connected end to end in the Blueprint construction mode caused by the optimization of the Conveyor Belt collision in [8092] patch.
- Fixed a bug that the Logistics Station could not be connected in a specific location caused by the optimization of the Conveyor Belt collision in [8092] patch.
- Fixed a bug that the Conveyor Belt and the Conveyor Belt near the pole could still be connected even though they are too far away from each other.
Thank you for your continuing support! You can send your feedback in Discord and Google Form! See you next time!
Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.20.8092 - August 20th, 2021
Hi engineers, how's going? We brought some new fixes to improve your operation experiences.
[version 0.8.20.8092]
Features
- Added the real-time calculation logic of the Conveyor Belt into the multi-threaded system.
Changes
- Optimized the length of savedata. Reduced the length of [Entity Data] by about 50%, and the length of [Conveyor Belt and Cargo] by about 10%. Please "Save" once after updating the version to enable this optimization.
- Modified the collision detection of the Conveyor Belt in the Blueprint construction mode to solve collision problems that may occurred during the construction of the multi-layer Conveyor Belt in Blueprint.
- Optimized the algorithm for controlling target frame rate and slightly improved the utilization of the GPU at a fixed frame rate.
BugFix
- Fixed a bug that the building may leave an afterimage in Blueprint construction mode.
- Fixed a bug that the position of the Sorter connected to the Conveyor Belt was abnormally shifted in the Blueprint construction mode.
- Fixed a bug that the deflection angle of the Sorter in the Blueprint construction mode was not detected in advance.
- Fixed a bug that the canceled Key-binding may still keep triggering.
Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.20.7996 - August 13th, 2021
Dyson Sphere Program engineers,
We gradually improved the blueprint system. From this version, the new Blueprint generated by the new production line manually built by the engineers will no longer have the problem of Sorters mismatch.
However, Bugs in the old version or some early MODs such as "Sorter quick copy" caused abnormal game data, and these abnormalities may remain in the blueprint generated by the production line of the old version. An abnormal blueprint may also contain mismatched sorters, and so on.
Therefore, for future Blueprint dissemination considerations, we hope our engineers can use the newly built production line in the version 0.8.20.7996 (or higher) when making Blueprints, and not copy Blueprints built lower than 0.8.20.7996 In addition, please delete and do not spread the Blueprint that reports the sorter error to prevent data errors* from spreading through the Blueprint. We will continue to optimize related issues to make the game more perfect.
Thanks for your support!
Oops, just want you to know that we are also producing some new, small things besides Blueprint optimization...
* If there is an "Incorrect data of Sorter" prompt when copying the Blueprint, it means that the sorter data in the production line is incorrect and the Blueprint cannot be generated.
Changes
- Adjusted the logic of the Blueprint copy mode. Now the Sorters will be checked before the Blueprint generate. If the Sorter's data is incorrect, the non-compliant Sorter(s) will be marked in red and the blueprint will not be generated.
- Adjusted the logic of the Blueprint construction mode. Now the position and direction of the connection interface between the Sorter and the facilities will be checked.
Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.20.7962 - August 12th, 2021
Hi engineers,
In addition to the optimization and fix of the Blueprint system, today we also bring you a brand new "Performance Test" tool. You can use it to detect how much computer performance each part of your production line consumes. The test results of this tool will further guide the next optimization work.
Besides, today we also want to make a statement about the source code of Dyson Sphere Program: We have published part of the code, which is intended to support players in making Mods, but does not mean that our code can be published or posted wherever, who want.
[Version 0.8.20.7962]
Features
- Added sand and dust VFX for Arid Desert.
- Added the "Performance Test" function to the statistics panel. You can see real-time CPU consumption, GPU rendering works and savedata length analysis to optimize the production line.
- Added the real-time path calculation logic of the Dyson Sphere Rocket into the multi-threaded system.
Changes
- Modified the logic of automatic wrap-line longitude calculating in the blueprint area in the Blueprint copy mode.
- Adjusted the logic of delete buildings in Blueprint. Now the Conveyor Belts connected to this building will be automatically removed.
- Now the entries with both production and consumption of 0 are not displayed in the production statistics panel.
BugFix
- Low-level code fix: Fixed the bug that the Conveyor Belt's renderer VRAM was not deleted after it had been deleted.
- Fixed the bug that the slot connection may be misaligned when using the Blueprint to restore the Sorter.
Thank you for your continuing support! You can send your feedback in Discord and Google Form! See you next time!

Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.19.7677 - July 25th, 2021
Hi engineers,
We are still allocating and fixing the problems reflected in the BluePrint update, and we will keep update and optimize the BluePrint system. Thank you for all of your encouragement and support for Dyson Sphere Program!
Before the update log, here is some tips for BluePrint system: How to use blueprints: Double-click the saved blueprint to use it. We will add more prompt in future updates.
About the Tropic (details in previous Dev Progress): The vicinity of the tropic can be divided into six situations according to the number of grids on both sides (the ratio is 3:4, 4:5, 5:6, 5:8, 2:3, and 1:2). The place vicinity type of the tropic to apply the BluePrint must be the same as where the BluePrint comes from. We suggest to just simply follow the instructions to apply the BluePrint, more prompts will be added in future updates.
[Version 0.8.19.7677]
Changes
Now you can recognize the different status of facilities (pre-select, pre-build and lack of item) when applying a blueprint by the different colors.
Bugfix
Fixed the bug that you may achieve item for free when upgrade/downgrade pre-view model in white color in BluePrint system (the white color appears when you don't have enough item to finish the upgrade/downgrade). Fixed the bug that the Blueprint floor color did not display at higher ground that made the white pre-view model too shiny. Fixed the bug that a red error message may occured when type with certain IMEs in blueprint browser.
Thank you for your continuing support! You can send your feedback in Discord and Google Form! See you next time!
Early Access Patch Version: 0.8.19.7662 - July 23rd, 2021
Dear engineers,
\WE REACHED BLUEPRINT SYSTEM YAAAY!!!/
This is the first time for Dyson Sphere Program to have a BluePrint system. We are well aware that the system is still in an immature stage, and our team will be ready to fight the bugs in the few days after the BluePrint patch. If you find a bug, please don't hesitate to send your feedback in Discord or Google Form!, we will listen carefully and continue to improve the BluePrint system!
At the same time, when you use the Blueprint function the first times, please do NOT forget to save and back up the savedata, just in case.
REMINDER: You don't have to restart the game for the BluePrint system. Blueprint system can directly apply to the existing savedata.
[Version 0.8.19.7662]
Feature
Added Blueprint System.
- Now you can create (copy) a new Blueprint. You can select the range of Blueprint by clicking or box selection. The ready-to-build facilities can also be included in the Blueprint system.
