Dyson Sphere Program News

Hi, engineers,

We've recently received numerous reports of in-game errors and data corruption caused by the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints, including "belt-free" blueprints and vertical conveyors. These issues involve misalignment of building connections, issues with conveyor, and more.

While these blueprints offer a certain level of convenience, it's crucial to be aware that their designs may not strictly adhere to the game's rules, posing a risk of save errors.

Due to the potential complications arising from the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints, we strongly advise against their use. If you still plan to use them, please backup your game saves beforehand to prevent unforeseen issues. Users are responsible for any problems that may arise from the use of tampered blueprints or program-generated blueprints.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Dear Engineers, Merry Christmas!

Patch Notes V...

No worry. We are on holiday. (But our publisher is not on holiday XD

We plan to update the game on December 29th, making adjustments that will bring some changes in gameplay. We hope you can get acquainted with these changes in advance.



· Dark Fog Drop Rates
While many engineers enjoys farming Dark Fog (and it's a joy not to have to construct production lines!), we intend to adjust the drop rates of some key items to avoid disrupting the gameplay.

Additionally, the drop of certain basic materials may be influenced by the planetary environment; drop rates will be tied to resource multipliers, meaning 0.1x resources will be more challenging.

· Space Combat
Due to the incompleteness of space combat in the current version, the attack methods of players are relatively limited, and numerically, there may be situations where Dark Fog overwhelms players in space.

Therefore, we plan to temporarily reduce the overall difficulty of Dark Fog (space). However, as we continue to update and improve the space combat section, the difficulty will return to normal.

· Updates Regarding the Space Section
We've noticed some players saying, " space combat will be updated after the Chinese New Year". We're sorry. Space section is a very complex content that won't be updated so soon. However, there's no need to worry; we will gradually improve the game and promptly inform everyone once certain details are confirmed, keeping you informed about future updates.

----------------------------------

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
