A message from the Developers

Hey Engineers!

It's already 3 days since Dyson Sphere Program launched into Early Access, and a brand new week is coming! Thank you for all of your support! and - don't forget to strike a proper balance between Dyson sphere engineering and get some rest!

New Feature

• Icarus is growing for you! Now it can shine your way at night.

Changes

• The 'Logistics Station' is called 'Planetary Logistic Station' now, in order not to mistaken it with the 'Interstellar Logistics Station'.
• The maximum range of the foundation cursor is increased to 10x10.
• Now the storage tank panel has a different color on its switch button when it is off.

Balance

• The recipe of manufacturing a logistics station is modified - you can save some cost from it!
• The recipe of manufacturing a EM-Rail Ejector is modified - you can save some cost from it!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the game window may not display correctly under some resolutions on certain types of monitors.
• Fixed a bug where the hotkey may remain active while renaming/inserting English text for buildings.
• You may meet an error when you were planning a long-long conveyor under construction mode. Now the error won't come out again.
• The logistics vessel can't be placed on orbit collectors now.
• Now the item count will be shown correctly when you add items to the Energy Exchanger manually.
