Could anyone confirm whether Graviton Lenses actually make line of sight no longer required? On the starter planet (that should definitely have an atmosphere), I could not see this kind of effect. Graviton Lenses only (as the text of the ionization tech states) double the power "draw", to 25 MW or 125 MW, depending on mode. Placing the Ray Receiver in the planet's shadow breaks contact to the Dyson Sphere, whether it has a lens in it or not, thus interrupting the bonus for continous connection to the Sphere.


Yes, I am currently making use of this mechanic in my game. I have upwards of 20 ray receivers on my starter planet supplied with graviton lenses. All work fine regardless of sunlight / LOS. However, I did observe that sometimes a couple of ray receivers loose the connection for a short time (less than a minute). This seems to happen periodically. I might be due to the planet beeing obstructed by the gas giant it is orbiting. Will need further testing to confirm this theory. - Neidmare
