Oh, I thought those resources were just rare ones out in the universe, I misunderstood and thought activating DF added more techs or something

So I decided to try and build a dyson sphere around a blue giant as they allow for the largest and most powerful spheres. I just went with my standard minimize structure/maximize cell points approach. Turns out I should have done some math. With the number of nodes I have it would take in excess of 1100 hours at maximum sail uptake to complete. I'll write this one off as a learning expense, sadly the dark fog was not the obstacle.

The rate sails are absorbed probably need to be a tech or just outright buffed. It's painfully slow.

Oh drat yeah absorb rate not launch rate. Yeah that one sucks.

Is there a way to view the tropic lines without placing a blueprint? I uh, learned my lesson about making blueprints across tropic lines but the grid view doesn't show them.

You can see them as a bolder green line when in build mode, at least that's the only way I know of.

Honestly I only notice the change in tropics when the grid expands/contracts and even then I keep building stuff across them on my home world when I've exhausted other options.

Yeah you need one of the build modes to see the grid lines. The other method is to look at your coordinates to “see” where you are in the grid. I use that to at least get close to where I want to be and then from there it’s open build or blueprint.
