 == Summary ==
 The '''Dark Fog''' is the main enemy in Dyson Sphere Program. It is a mechanical automaton, resembling a [[wikipedia:Self-replicating_spacecraft|Von Neumann swarm]]. It was created by COSMO prior to the Dyson Sphere Program, with the goal of providing energy to CenterBrain. For unknown reasons, its connection to CenterBrain was lost, and the Swarm went rogue. It consists of [[Space Hive|Space Hives]] and [[Planetary Base|Planetary Bases]], gathering energy from stars and matter from planets.

			* [[Battlefield Analysis Base\|Battlefield Analysis Bases]] can automate nearby repairs and item collection, and even filter specific Dark Fog drops. By continuously inciting the Dark Fog and using turrets to destroy its units as fast as they are produced, the player can set up an automatic farm. Farming the Dark Fog makes every item they drop renewable, allowing the player to get extremely limited resources such as [[Unipolar Magnet\|Unipolar Magnets]] without depleting any ore deposits. All Dark Fog units also drop [[Soil Pile\|Soil Piles]], making them the only renewable source of it. ''See [[Dark Fog Farming\|here]] for an in-depth guide to farming.''
	* Dark Fog is the only renewable source of [[Soil Pile]], dropping in small quantities from all Dark Fog units.
	* Dark Fog allows players to obtain extremely limited resources such as [[Unipolar Magnet\|Unipolar Magnets]] without depleting any ore deposits.
	* You can set a [[Battlefield Analysis Base]] to automate repairs and item collection. You can even set filters for what will be collected, this can be used to farm Dark Fog drops.
	* If you set a defense perimeter close enough to a Dark Fog planetary base, but not close enough to its core, it will keep "farming" units endlessly. With the correct setup, you can automate this farm. An example of this would be setting towers being automatically fed by ammo with a nearby [[Battlefield Analysis Base]] to collect your desired drops. These drops can be fed to your logistics and be supplied to your factory.
