Early Access Patch Version: 0.6.17.6137 - April 2nd, 2021

A message from the developers

Hi Engineers,
CentreBrain can't dismiss the problems that occur on your way to power it, so we fixed them! The development of new content will be a long journey full of inspiration. We are also looking forward to the future of the Dyson Sphere Program universe just as you, dear engineers. Let's take a look at today's update:

Features

Added a confirmation option (double-check box) before dismantling the Storage/Tanks/Logistic Stations. You can turn the pop-up box on/off in the Setting.
Added a function where you can press and hold [SHIFT]+[DELETE] to delete the held items directly.

Changes

Power Statistics Panel UI: changed the colors of Discharging power and Charging power

Bug fixes

Fixed the bug where sometimes you may receive an empty Accumulator after removing a fully charged Accumulator
Fixed the bug where sometimes a solar sail was not generated after removing the Dyson sphere frame and Dyson shell
Fixed the bug where the heat value in the Thermal power station did not change after the heat value of fuel was changed

Early Access Patch Version: 0.6.17.6112 - April 1st, 2021

A message from the developers

Hi engineers,
With the coming of April, we are about to enter the rhythm of medium / large scale content development, and a new round of difficulties, and an intensive development schedule. It will take a lot of time, but we will forecast the content of the upcoming patch earlier to facilitate you to plan and prepare in advance. For example - the quick copy of the sorters is on its way. Let's see the update log today:

Features

Added system framework of item drop/pick up
Optimized the Assembler GPU Rendering cost by adding the LOD1 and LOD2 to rendering detail levels
Optimized the models of logistics drones and vessels and the rendering costs on GPU

Changes

You won't lose your items due to "Inventory is full" anymore. Instead, they will fall on the ground or float in the space!

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug where mecha walking may be interrupted when pressing S from the perspective of God in the Construction Mode
Fixed the bug where the customized celestial bodies' names may not be updated in the production statistics panel
Fixed a bug where a facility may be built in the wrong place because of failure in the calculating of building placement distance
Fixed the bug that it may report an error when the Logistics Station is dismantled

Early Access Patch Version: 0.6.17.5972 - March 19th, 2021

A message from the developers

Hi Engineers!
Spring is coming! Icarus can't feel warm or cold, but we human beings can still be cold at spring. The Chinese old saying ask people to keep warm so that everyone can be healthier in the summer. Have a try!
We also brought you some new features and fixes today. Let’s take a look!

Features

Now you can customize the names of celestial bodies. You can either rename them on thumbnail in the lower left corner, or on and the information panel on the right side of the planetary view / star map interface.
Added the celestial body operation interface in the star map. Now you can view the celestial bodies easier, and you can decide to turn on/off the space labels of the celestial bodies.
Added the heading indicator line of your target celestial body. You can open the heading indicator line after you find the target celestial body.

Changes

Optimized the logic of takeoff / landing / acceleration / deceleration of Logistics Vessel to make it faster and in line with scientific principles after upgrades.
Modified English translation of some item and technical descriptions.

Balance

Hydrogen fuel rod should have higher combustion efficiency. Increased the energy value of Hydrogen Fuel Rod: 40MJ - > 50MJ
Adjusted the energy consumption of Logistics Vessel: when the sailing speed is upgraded to more than 3000m/s, no additional energy consumption will be increased according to the maximum sailing speed

Bug fixes

Fixed the bug where the rocket could not catch up to the node around some large-mass black holes due to the Dyson spherical node's capture range is not large enough.
Fixed bugs where the game menu will pop up directly when pressing ESC in dismantle mode and upgrade mode.

Early Access Patch Version: 0.6.17.5932 - March 12th, 2021

A message from the developers

Hi Engineers!
Today is the tree planting day in China. Although we cut down a lot of trees in the game, please be eco-friendly in reality ;). We heard your voice of the quick copy of the Sorters, Blueprints, etc. Don't worry, they are on their way - as big fans of factory games, we understand your needs!

Features

The Mass Upgrade / Dismantle function is now available! You are now able to define the scope of batch upgrades/demolitions in the same way as laying foundations. Please notice the red mark in the screenshot above.
LOD1 and LOD2 are added to the rendering to optimize the GPU Rendering cost of the Smelter.

Changes

Remade the model, texture, and VFX of Thermal Power Station, and the interface position for Sorter is fine-tuned.
Remade the model, texture, and VFX of Mini Fusion Power Station, and the interface position for Sorter is fine-tuned.

Bugfix

Fixed the bug where the stored liquid may be mixed, when the liquid stored in the vertical direction with different kinds of liquid in each Storage Tank.
