Dyson Sphere Construction

Do you want to build a Dyson Sphere but Banks and Utopia are too far away? Or, do you want to build a Dyson sphere in which you can put your population AND generate energy? Well this mod will allow you to fulfill your "dreams"! Introducing the first ever mod that allows you to construct a Dyson Sphere!

In order to build a Dyson Sphere, you’ll first have to research 7 rare technologies (They are about as rare as the technologies in the ringworld restoration mod). These technologies are :

Hyperscale Engineering Theory
Engineering technology, requires living metal. Increases your energy capacity by 2500.

Macroscale Strongforce Projection
Physics technology, requires neutronium materials and Hyperscale Engineerying Theory.

Stellar-Scale Energy Manipulation
Physics technology, requires all of the basic terraforming technologies, Macroscale Strongforce Projection and Zero Point power. Increases your energy capacity by 2500 and gives a 5% bonus to energy production.

Stellar Stabilization
Physics technology, requires Stellar-Scale energy manipulation and the last power plant upgrade tech. Increases your energy capacity by 2500.

Positronic Gravity Modulation
Physics technology, requires Stellar Stabilization and Dark Matter mining. Increases your energy storage capacity by 2500, reduces building cost by 5% and gives a 5% bonus to energy production.

Macroscale Ecosystem Generation
Society technology, requires ALL of the terraforming technologies and Positronic Gravity Modulation. Increases habitability by 5%

And finally,
Dyson Sphere Construction
Engineering technology, requires Macroscale Ecosystem Generation and increases your energy capacity by 2500.

So, when you’ve researched all of these technologies, you’ll unlock an Edict called "Allow Dyson Sphere Construction". Pause the game, select it and select a planet. This edict requires 20 000 energy and 100 000 minerals to activate.

There will then be an edict named "Construct a Dyson Sphere". Select that edict, and an event will pop up, prompting you to begin constructing the sphere. If you agree to begin the construction, you’ll lose 20k energy and 100k minerals and a special project will appear to finish the sphere.

This project takes 20 years to finish, and when it’s done a new system, consisting of a Dyson Sphere with 20 habitable segments, each with 25 tiles. There will also be a 750 energy "deposit" inside of the sphere, and you have to construct a mining station in the sphere in order to get the energy (Think of it as the thing the sphere sends it collected energy to).

You can construct infinite Dyson Spheres. The spheres cannot be destroyed but they can be invaded by enemy forces and taken over.

(Higher up = Coming soon!)

-Unlocking special buildings as you research the technologies

-Special modifier for Dyson Sphere segments

-Matrioshka brain, another megastructure built in a similar way (If I can figure out how to create the model)

I’ll attempt to figure out how megastructures work, then I’ll try to make this Dyson Sphere buildable like the other megastructures.

Is it savegame compatible?
Yes, this mod is entirely compatible with existing files.

Is it compatible with (Mod)?
It should be compatible with pretty much anything as it doesn’t overwrite vanilla files. It is, for sure, compatible with Improved Space Battles as one of the ships shown in the pictures above is from that mod.

I’d like to credit the creator of the Ringworld Cluster mod, as the assets from that mod allowed me to create the model for the Dyson Sphere.

This is my first real mod I uploaded, so I highly recommand you tell me what I should add, tweak or change in the comments.

Have fun building Dyson Spheres!
