{{Note Box|The information below is accurate as far as the assumptions made during the observations. Recent testing indicates that the mathematical "story" may be different than outlined below, and that the numbers merely lined up out of happenstance. This section will be updated once further testing has established the proper mathematical relationships.}} | {{Note Box|The information below is accurate as far as the assumptions made during the observations.

Based off the data accumulated below, a structure point generates 96 KW, a cell point generates 15 KW, NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY FROM THE STAR. | |||
The power formula for a completed Dyson Sphere is as follow: | |||
LUMINOSITY * 4 * π * (RADIUS * 0.0191) ^ 2 * (15 + 96 * STRUCTURE_POINT_PER_CELL_POINT), in KW | |||
or for a general case | |||
LUMINOSITY * 4 * π * (RADIUS * 0.0191) ^ 2 * (15 + 96 * 0.08), in KW | |||
As for solar sails, they output 36 KW each, times the luminosity. But still independent of the distance from the star. | |||
== Preliminary testing == | |||
Preliminary testing indicates that certain mathematical rules apply to Dyson Shells as expected, while others do not, or apply in the opposite way as expected based on real-world physics (yet in a way that makes sense for a video game) | Preliminary testing indicates that certain mathematical rules apply to Dyson Shells as expected, while others do not, or apply in the opposite way as expected based on real-world physics (yet in a way that makes sense for a video game) | ||

Further code inspection could lead to the complete understanding of the Dyson sphere power computation. But I can understand that some people would prefer to make more "conventional" research and that direct code inspection could spoil that fun. So should I continue and extend this post with more information? | Further code inspection could lead to the complete understanding of the Dyson sphere power computation.
