== 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.

== Settings ==
Upon starting a new game with the Dark Fog enabled, one can configure numerous settings regarding their behavior. Certain settings can be adjusted in-game by interacting with the Dark Fog Communicator via using Metadata, located in the outer perimeter of the starting system, but otherwise they are locked in and unchangeable.
* '''Difficulty''': An automated number tallied by the below settings; note that certain Achievements require 1.0 difficulty or higher.
* '''Aggressiveness''': Dictates the Dark Fog's behavior as a whole, and their number of units sent per attack.
* '''Initial Level''': Determines the starting level of each Planetary Base/Hive.
* '''Initial Growth''': Determines the initial completion progress of each (pre-existing) Planetary Base/Hive.
* '''Initial Occupation''': Determines how widespread the Dark Fog are in the galaxy at game start. 100% is guaranteed to have a pre-existing Planetary Base on the starting system - lower has a chance of one not being present, while higher increases how many pre-existing Planetary Bases will be present.
* '''Max Density''': Determines how many Hives can be present in a system.
* '''Growth Speed''': Determines the speed at which Dark Fog produce new units, as well as new relays and seeds.
* '''Power Threat Factor''': Determines how fast the Dark Fog's threat builds in response to power generated from automation.
* '''Combat Threat Factor''': Determines how fast the Dark Fog's threat builds in response to attacks.
* '''Combat XP Factor''': Dictates how fast the Dark Fog gain EXP during combat.

== Dark Fog Structures ==
* The [[Space Hive|Hive]] is a megastructure, floating in space, spread across different systems. Each system that the Dark Fog inhabits has one or more Hives that acts as their centers of operations. A Hive can construct various defenses for itself, as well as energy collectors in the form of Photon Collectors. The Hive also can build and dispatch Relays, which attach to planets to create or reinforce a Planetary Base.
* The [[Planetary Base]] is a planetary outpost for the Hive, with the sole purpose of collecting matter from the core of the planet. This resource is infinite for the Dark Fog, and the player cannot collect it. Each Planetary Base is composed of the following components:
** A single [[Relay Station]], floating above the ground structures in the atmosphere. It provides the ground structures with energy from the Hive, and sends the Matter collected by the Planetary Base core to the Hive. A Relay will retreat and return to the Hive if the Core Driller is filled in with [[Foundation|Foundations]] or covered by a [[Geothermal Power Station]], or if the base is repeatedly destroyed and it runs out of matter to rebuild it. It is possible to attack the Relay directly by enabling Upper Air targeting for [[Missile Turret|Missile Turrets]], but this will dramatically increase the Hive's threat level and is not recommended for the early game.
** A [[Core Driller]], located just below the Relay, around which ground structures are constructed. It is the first structure built when a Relay settles on a planet and produces matter using the planet's magma. Matter is used by the Planetary Base to build new structures, create new units, or when it has stockpiled enough, send shuttles via the Relay to provide matter for the Hive.
** Multiple Camps, specific to a unit type. The camps use matter and energy to create new units to defend the Planetary Base or launch attacks on the player and his facilities. Each camp has an "overdrive" mode, which will enhance the camp's ability to create units and extract matter by the factor of 10. This is triggered by proximity of [[Icarus]] or [[Signal Tower|Signal Towers]].
** Multiple defense turrets. Turrets attack all targets in their range and deal huge damage, but they require energy to work. Once the base's energy is depleted, its turrets cannot operate.
** Unknown structures, which seem to have no use currently.

* Each new ground structure takes a while to build.
* If the ground below is not suitable, the base will automatically flatten or fill the terrain as required.
* Dark Fog Planetary Bases and Hives have Levels, which increase after they accumulate enough experience. A base earns Experience anytime it is damaged by the player, regardless if it is attacking or defending. The same goes for the Hive, although it earns Experience anytime the player engages with the Dark Fog ''anywhere'' within the system, and it earns Experience considerably slower than bases do.
* Additionally, whenever the Hive dispatches a Relay, the newly-constructed base will inherit the Hive's Level. The Hive and Bases are progressively enhanced as their Levels increase, increasing the durability, amount, and types of units they can produce. Higher level units also drop higher tier loot.
* Eventually, once a Hive has accumulated enough matter and energy, it can produce a Seed, which flies through space to eventually settle in a new star system and establish a new Hive. However, Seeds are completely defenseless and travel relatively slowly, so catching up to them and destroying them is relatively simple. The real challenge is noticing that the Seed exists in the first place, especially for those in distant systems.

== Dark Fog Units==
Planetary Units:
* '''Raider''': The Raider is the first unit created by a Planetary Base. It is slow, and hovers slightly above the ground. It is quite durable, and deals a fair amount of damage. It will attack during an assault. A Raider's base stats are: '''55''' hp, '''7''' damage, and '''0''' armor. Raiders also gain '''5''' hp, '''1.5''' damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.
* '''Ranger''': The Ranger is a fast, medium-ranged unit. It is quite fragile, and has lower damage than a Raider. It will attack during an assault. A Ranger's base stats are: '''40''' hp, '''5'''(?) damage, and '''0''' armor. Rangers also gain '''4''' hp, '''0.66'''(?) damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.
*'''Guardian''': The Guardian is a defensive unit that stays around the Base it protects. Upon entering its range, it will try to protect other units. It is medium-paced, but deals the most damage out of known ground units. A Guardian's base stats are: '''48''' hp, '''16''' damage, and '''0''' armor. Guardians gain '''4''' hp, '''2''' damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.

Space Units:
* Humpback
* Lancer

==Dark Fog Debris==
Destroying Dark Fog units will drop [[Soil Pile|Soil Piles]] as well as other random items, depending on the Level of the destroyed unit. These items will be on the ground and can be collected directly by [[Icarus]] or a [[Battlefield Analysis Base]] that is in range. Unlike player drops, drops from Dark Fog units will disappear after some time if not collected.

==Player Tips & Tricks==
* [[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.''
* Filling a Planetary Core does not invalidate the "Environmentalist" achievement.
* A [[Gauss Turret]] with [[Magnum Ammo Box|Magnum Ammo]] and no damage upgrade needs 8(?) bullets to kill a level 0 Raider.
* The Dark Fog's level does not actually increase units' stats that much, so take Dark Fog seriously even at level 0. What really dictates the Dark Fog's danger is how many units it has created. A quick way to gauge the Dark Fog's strength from a safe distance is to look at the Hive on the star map; well-established Hives are larger overall and likely will have many squadrons of fighters around it, while weak Hives are small and may be patrolled by only a handful of units.
* Pay attention to any Dark Fog Seeds in the cluster. Seeds travel very slowly, so it's not necessary to take them down immediately, but allowing them to take root and establish a proper Hive is dangerous. If the Seed does manage to grow a Hive, the Hive will still take time to build proper defenses, so nip it in the bud and eradicate the new Hive quickly.
* Eradicating a Dark Fog Hive requires more than just destroying the Hive itself. Once the Hive's core is destroyed, any Relays occupying planets in the system will send matter back, reconstructing the core almost immediately. While the newly-repaired Hive will still take time to rebuild its defenses, the only way to truly destroy it for good is to also destroy all its Relays in the system. Destroying the Planetary Bases in the system is not necessary; once a Base's Relay is destroyed, the Base will eventually run out of energy and go dormant.

==Welcome to the Dyson Sphere Program's Wiki!==

Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulation game with space, adventure, exploration and factory automation elements where you can build your own galactic industrial empire from scratch.

You play as a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing [[Dyson_Sphere|Dyson Spheres]] (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?

Have some Questions? Check out our [[FAQ]], which was totally copied from the Steam one!

{{WIP}}

== 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.

Upon starting a new game with the Dark Fog enabled, one can configure numerous settings regarding their behavior. Certain settings can be adjusted in-game by interacting with the Dark Fog Communicator via using Metadata, located in the outer perimeter of the starting system, but otherwise they are locked in and unchangeable.
* '''Difficulty''': An automated number tallied by the below settings; note that certain Achievements require 1.0 difficulty or higher.
* '''Aggressiveness''': Dictates the Dark Fog's behavior as a whole, and their number of units sent per attack.
* '''Initial Level''': Determines the starting level of each Planetary Base/Hive.
* '''Initial Growth''': Determines the initial completion progress of each (pre-existing) Planetary Base/Hive.
* '''Initial Occupation''': Determines how widespread the Dark Fog are in the galaxy. 100% is guaranteed to have a pre-existing Planetary Base on the starting system - lower has a chance of one not being present, while higher increases how many pre-existing Planetary Bases will be present.
* '''Max Density''': Determines how many Hives can be present in a system.
* '''Growth Speed''': Determines the speed at which Dark Fog produce new units, as well as new relays and seeds.
* '''Power Threat Factor''': Determines how fast the Dark Fog's threat builds in response to power generated from automation.
* '''Combat Threat Factor''': Determines how fast the Dark Fog's threat builds in response to attacks.
* '''Combat XP Factor''': Dictates how fast the Dark Fog gain EXP during combat.

== Dark Fog Structures ==
* The [[Space Hive|Hive]] is a megastructure, floating in space, spread across different systems. Each system that the Dark Fog inhabits has one or more Hives that acts as their centers of operations. A Hive can construct various defenses for itself, as well as energy collectors in the form of Photon Collectors.

* '''Ranger''': The Ranger is a fast, medium-ranged unit. It is quite fragile, and has lower damage than a Raider. It will attack during an assault. A Ranger's base stats are: '''40''' hp, '''5'''(?) damage, and '''0''' armor. Rangers also gain '''4''' hp, '''0.66'''(?) damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.

==Dark Fog Debris==
Destroying Dark Fog units will drop [[Soil Pile|Soil Piles]] as well as other random items, depending on the Level of the destroyed unit. These items will be on the ground and can be collected directly by [[Icarus]] or a [[Battlefield Analysis Base]] that is in range. Unlike player drops, drops from Dark Fog units will disappear after some time if not collected.

==Player Tips & Tricks==
* [[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.''
* Filling a Planetary Core does not invalidate the "Environmentalist" achievement.
* A [[Gauss Turret]] with [[Magnum Ammo Box|Magnum Ammo]] and no damage upgrade needs 8(?) bullets to kill a level 0 Raider.
* The Dark Fog's level does not actually increase units' stats that much, so take Dark Fog seriously even at level 0. What really dictates the Dark Fog's danger is how many units it has created. A quick way to gauge the Dark Fog's strength from a safe distance is to look at the Hive on the star map; well-established Hives are larger overall and likely will have many squadrons of fighters around it, while weak Hives are small and may be patrolled by only a handful of units.
* Pay attention to any Dark Fog Seeds in the cluster. Seeds travel very slowly, so it's not necessary to take them down immediately, but allowing them to take root and establish a proper Hive is dangerous. If the Seed does manage to grow a Hive, the Hive will still take time to build proper defenses, so nip it in the bud and eradicate the new Hive quickly.
* Eradicating a Dark Fog Hive requires more than just destroying the Hive itself. Once the Hive's core is destroyed, any Relays occupying planets in the system will send matter back, reconstructing the core almost immediately. While the newly-repaired Hive will still take time to rebuild its defenses, the only way to truly destroy it for good is to also destroy all its Relays in the system. Destroying the Planetary Bases in the system is not necessary; once a Base's Relay is destroyed, the Base will eventually run out of energy and go dormant.

Upgrades

2024-09-14T19:05:18Z

Alphafire17:

The many '''upgrades''' in Dyson Sphere Program can be used throughout the game to improve [[Icarus|Icarus's]] abilities, speed up production lines, optimize logistics, and increase the [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson sphere's]] effectiveness. Below are the upgrades and their appropriate costs.

Completing all upgrades (exluding repeatables and those requiring items other than matricies) requires: {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Electromagnetic Matrix|ItemCount=137.41k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Energy Matrix|ItemCount=139.0k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Structure Matrix|ItemCount=128.4k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Information Matrix|ItemCount=96.8k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Gravity Matrix|ItemCount=60.5k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Universe Matrix|ItemCount=90.8k}}

Note: Upgrades are sorted by how they appear from top to bottom and by tier.

==Exploration Upgrades==
These upgrades highlight where resources are located on a planet and eventually show the player what resources are located in other star systems. As such, these are mostly quality-of-life upgrades.

==Player Tips==
* For the upgrades that can be researched infinitely, their research consumption increases each time it is researched. This leads to them being considerably more expensive to keep researching, the further you research them.
* It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible. The following recommended upgrades do not use matrices or technology unlocks, and can therefore be researched immediately upon starting the game:
**Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)
**Mecha Core 1 (increases Icarus's maximum energy storage)
**Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)
* Energy Circuit 1 is also extremely useful in the early game for recharging Icarus faster, but requires the [[Smelting Purification_(Tech)|Smelting Purification]] technology to produce required resources.

Upgrades

Alphafire17:

The many '''upgrades''' in Dyson Sphere Program can be used throughout the game to improve [[Icarus|Icarus's]] abilities, speed up production lines, optimize logistics, and increase the [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson sphere's]] effectiveness. Below are the upgrades and their appropriate costs.

Completing all upgrades (exluding repeatables and those requiring items other than matricies) requires: {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Electromagnetic Matrix|ItemCount=137.41k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Energy Matrix|ItemCount=139.0k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Structure Matrix|ItemCount=128.4k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Information Matrix|ItemCount=96.8k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Gravity Matrix|ItemCount=60.5k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Universe Matrix|ItemCount=90.8k}}

Note: Upgrades are sorted by how they appear from top to bottom and by tier.

==Exploration Upgrades==
These upgrades highlight where resources are located on a planet and eventually show the player what resources are located in other star systems. As such, these are mostly quality-of-life upgrades.

==Player Tips==
* For the upgrades that can be researched infinitely, their research consumption increases each time it is researched. This leads to them being considerably more expensive to keep researching, the further you research them.
* It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible. The following recommended upgrades do not use matrices or technology unlocks, and can therefore be researched immediately upon starting the game:
**Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)
**Mecha Core 1 (increases Icarus's maximum energy storage)
**Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)
* Energy Circuit 1 is also extremely useful in the early game for recharging Icarus faster, but requires the [[Smelting Purification_(Tech)|Smelting Purification]] technology to produce required resources.

Upgrades

2024-09-14T01:58:01Z

Alphafire17: Add Logistic Bot stats to Upgrade table. Also replaced Sorter Mk. III upgrades with Pile Sorter upgrades.

The many '''upgrades''' in Dyson Sphere Program can be used throughout the game to improve [[Icarus|Icarus's]] abilities, speed up production lines, optimize logistics, and increase the [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson sphere's]] effectiveness. Below are the upgrades and their appropriate costs.

Completing all upgrades (exluding repeatables and those requiring items other than matricies) requires: {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Electromagnetic Matrix|ItemCount=137.41k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Energy Matrix|ItemCount=139.0k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Structure Matrix|ItemCount=128.4k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Information Matrix|ItemCount=96.8k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Gravity Matrix|ItemCount=60.5k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Universe Matrix|ItemCount=90.8k}}

Note: Upgrades are sorted by how they appear from top to bottom and by tier.

==Exploration Upgrades==
These upgrades highlight where resources are located on a planet and eventually show the player what resources are located in other star systems. As such, these are mostly quality-of-life upgrades.

==Player Tips==
* For the upgrades that can be researched infinitely, their research consumption increases each time it is researched. This leads to them being considerably more expensive to keep researching, the further you research them.
* It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible. The following recommended upgrades do not use matrices or technology unlocks, and can therefore be researched immediately upon starting the game:
**Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)
**Mecha Core 1 (increases Icarus's maximum energy storage)
**Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)
* Energy Circuit 1 is also extremely useful in the early game for recharging Icarus faster, but requires the [[Smelting Purification_(Tech)|Smelting Purification]] technology to produce required resources.

You play as a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing [[Dyson_Sphere|Dyson Spheres]] (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?

Have some Questions? Check out our [[FAQ]], which was totally copied from the Steam one!

==Good Starting Points==
We are working on redesigning this Main Page with easy access to the most interesting topics on the wiki, but for now you can use the Topics section of the left-hand Sidebar for some landing pages. We've also listed some useful pages here:

* [[Items]] -- A collector page showing every item in the game. Click an item icon to go to that item's detail page.
* [[Fuels]] -- A reference of the various Fuel Sources in the game.
* [[Technologies]] -- A collector page showing every tech in the game. Click a tech's name to go to that tech's detail page.
* [[Upgrades]] -- A collector page of all Upgrades in the game. Click an upgrade's name to go to that upgrade's detail page.
* [[Starting Seeds]] -- Community-contributed World Generation seeds and what sort of conditions they provide.
* [[Quick Start]] -- A quick-start guide for getting started quickly and efficiently in the game
* [[Mechanics]] -- A collection of various articles relating to game mechanics.
* [[Stars and planets]] -- A detailed list of all of the Stars and Planets that can be encountered in the game and their features.
* [[Layouts]] -- Community-contributed layouts that you can use for efficient factory design. See also [[Blueprint|Blueprints]].
* [[Dyson Sphere]] -- Describes what a Dyson Sphere is, how to build one in game, and some of the mathematics behind them in the game.
* [[Keybindings]] -- All current/default keybindings in the game.
* [[Modding:Modding]] -- Helpful articles for modders looking to mod the game - (Note that Modding is currently "at your own risk" - official modding support is on the game's roadmap.)

Upgrades

2024-08-18T05:32:53Z

Alphafire17: Added all current(-as-of-this-writing) upgrade costs for more accurate completion numbers.

The many '''upgrades''' in Dyson Sphere Program can be used throughout the game to improve [[Icarus|Icarus's]] abilities, speed up production lines, optimize logistics, and increase the [[Dyson Sphere|Dyson sphere's]] effectiveness. Below are the upgrades and their appropriate costs.

Completing all upgrades (exluding repeatables and those requiring items other than matricies) requires: {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Electromagnetic Matrix|ItemCount=136.71k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Energy Matrix|ItemCount=138.3k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Structure Matrix|ItemCount=127.7k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Information Matrix|ItemCount=96.8k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Gravity Matrix|ItemCount=58.5k}} {{RecipeItem|ItemName=Universe Matrix|ItemCount=90.8k}}

Note: Upgrades are sorted by how they appear from top to bottom and by tier.

==Exploration Upgrades==
These upgrades highlight where resources are located on a planet and eventually show the player what resources are located in other star systems. As such, these are mostly quality-of-life upgrades.

==Player Tips==
* For the upgrades that can be researched infinitely, their research consumption increases each time it is researched. This leads to them being considerably more expensive to keep researching, the further you research them.
* It is worth trying for some of the upgrades as soon as possible. The following recommended upgrades do not use matrices or technology unlocks, and can therefore be researched immediately upon starting the game:
**Drive Engine 1 (allows sustained flight, which is faster than walking, but consumes more energy)
**Mecha Core 1 (increases Icarus's maximum energy storage)
**Universe Exploration 1 (displays symbols for resources and their yields across the planet)
* Energy Circuit 1 is also extremely useful in the early game for recharging Icarus faster, but requires the [[Smelting Purification_(Tech)|Smelting Purification]] technology to produce required resources.

==Welcome to the Dyson Sphere Program's Wiki!==

Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulation game with space, adventure, exploration and factory automation elements where you can build your own galactic industrial empire from scratch.

You play as a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing [[Dyson_Sphere|Dyson Spheres]] (a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy) to produce the energy that humanity needs. Only a few decades ago, Dyson Spheres were considered a hypothetical, impossible invention – but now it’s in your hands… Will you be able to turn a backwater space workshop into a galaxy-wide industrial production empire?

Have some Questions? Check out our [[FAQ]], which was totally copied from the Steam one!

==Summary==
A surface leveling tool. Cannot use it to change the planetary landforms at will, can only level the surface to zero altitude. If you use the foundation for high ground, you will get [[Soil Pile]]; on the contrary, if you use the foundation for the ocean or low-lying area, you must consume soil pile. The {{glow|blue|Extra Products}} [[Spray Coater|Proliferation]] bonus applies: using spray-coated Foundation will yield more / cost less soil pile.

When laying the foundation, you can choose a kind of decoration, or without decoration, only level the surface.

==Player Tips & Tricks==
* It is good to build a production line for Foundation early on in the game, as the oceans around your starter planet can limit the size of your builds - other than Wind Turbines, which can be placed without Foundation - and force you to compromise on how your factory looks. This can be relatively easily done by finding a location where Iron Ore and Stone veins are located conveniently close to each other, making it easy to transport both to your line. The same holds true for every planet where both Iron and Stone are found, avoiding use of costly interstellar logistics capacity for this base material.
* Foundation is also extremely useful for [[Stars_and_planets|oceanic planets]] and other lush planets, as most resources are difficult to transport via [[Interstellar_Logistics_Station|interstellar logistics stations]], as there's no space to build them on.
* It takes exactly 325,600 Foundation to fully pave a planet. In order to speed up the process/make it easier to not miss any sections, increase the size of your fill-in square with the + button.

Dark Fog

2024-05-19T06:22:36Z

Alphafire17:

{{WIP}}

== 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.

== Dark Fog Structures ==
* The [[Space Hive|Hive]] is a megastructure, floating in space, spread across different systems. Each system that the Dark Fog inhabits has one or more Hives that acts as their centers of operations. A Hive can construct various defenses for itself, as well as energy collectors in the form of Photon Collectors. The Hive also can build and dispatch Relays, which attach to planets to create or reinforce a Planetary Base.
* The [[Planetary Base]] is a planetary outpost for the Hive, with the sole purpose of collecting matter from the core of the planet. This resource is infinite for the Dark Fog, and the player cannot collect it. Each Planetary Base is composed of the following components:
** A single [[Relay Station]], floating above the ground structures in the atmosphere. It provides the ground structures with energy from the Hive, and sends the Matter collected by the Planetary Base core to the Hive. A Relay will retreat and return to the Hive if the Core Driller is filled in with [[Foundation|Foundations]] or covered by a [[Geothermal Power Station]], or if the base is repeatedly destroyed and it runs out of matter to rebuild it. It is possible to attack the Relay directly by enabling Upper Air targeting for [[Missile Turret|Missile Turrets]], but this will dramatically increase the Hive's threat level and is not recommended for the early game.
** A [[Core Driller]], located just below the Relay, around which ground structures are constructed. It is the first structure built when a Relay settles on a planet and produces matter using the planet's magma. Matter is used by the Planetary Base to build new structures, create new units, or when it has stockpiled enough, send shuttles via the Relay to provide matter for the Hive.
** Multiple Camps, specific to a unit type. The camps use matter and energy to create new units to defend the Planetary Base or launch attacks on the player and his facilities. Each camp has an "overdrive" mode, which will enhance the camp's ability to create units and extract matter by the factor of 10. This is triggered by proximity of [[Icarus]] or [[Signal Tower|Signal Towers]].
** Multiple defense turrets. Turrets attack all targets in their range and deal huge damage, but they require energy to work. Once the base's energy is depleted, its turrets cannot operate.
** Unknown structures, which seem to have no use currently.

* Each new ground structure takes a while to build.
* If the ground below is not suitable, the base will automatically flatten or fill the terrain as required.
* Dark Fog Planetary Bases and Hives have Levels, which increase after they accumulate enough experience. A base earns Experience anytime it is damaged by the player, regardless if it is attacking or defending. The same goes for the Hive, although it earns Experience anytime the player engages with the Dark Fog ''anywhere'' within the system, and it earns Experience considerably slower than bases do.
* Additionally, whenever the Hive dispatches a Relay, the newly-constructed base will inherit the Hive's Level. The Hive and Bases are progressively enhanced as their Levels increase, increasing the durability, amount, and types of units they can produce. Higher level units also drop higher tier loot.
* Eventually, once a Hive has accumulated enough matter and energy, it can produce a Seed, which flies through space to eventually settle in a new star system and establish a new Hive. However, Seeds are completely defenseless and travel relatively slowly, so catching up to them and destroying them is relatively simple. The real challenge is noticing that the Seed exists in the first place, especially for those in distant systems.

== Dark Fog Units==
Planetary Units:
* '''Raider''': The Raider is the first unit created by a Planetary Base. It is slow, and hovers slightly above the ground. It is quite durable, and deals a fair amount of damage. It will attack during an assault. A Raider's base stats are: '''55'''hp, '''7''' damage, and '''0''' armor. Raiders also gain '''5'''hp, '''1.5''' damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.
* '''Ranger''': The Ranger is a fast, medium-ranged unit. It is quite fragile, and has lower damage than a Raider. It will attack during an assault. A Ranger's base stats are: '''40'''hp, '''5'''(?) damage, and '''0''' armor. Rangers also gain '''4'''hp, '''0.66'''(?) damage, and '''0.2''' armor per Base level.
*'''Guardian''': The Guardian is a defensive unit that stays around the Base it protects. Upon entering its range, it will try to protect other units. It is medium-paced, but deals the most damage out of known ground units.
Space Units:

* Humpback
* Lancer

==Dark Fog Debris==
Destroying Dark Fog units will drop [[Soil Pile|Soil Piles]] as well as other random items, depending on the Level of the destroyed unit. These items will be on the ground and can be collected directly by [[Icarus]] or a [[Battlefield Analysis Base]] that is in range. Unlike player drops, drops from Dark Fog units will disappear after some time if not collected.

==Player Tips & Tricks==
* [[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.''
* Filling a Planetary Core does not invalidate the "Environmentalist" achievement.
* A [[Gauss Turret]] with [[Magnum Ammo Box|Magnum Ammo]] and no damage upgrade needs 8(?) bullets to kill a level 0 Raider.
* The Dark Fog's level does not actually increase units' stats that much, so take Dark Fog seriously even at level 0. What really dictates the Dark Fog's danger is how many units it has created. A quick way to gauge the Dark Fog's strength from a safe distance is to look at the Hive on the star map; well-established Hives are larger overall and likely will have many squadrons of fighters around it, while weak Hives are small and may be patrolled by only a handful of units.
* Pay attention to any Dark Fog Seeds in the cluster. Seeds travel very slowly, so it's not necessary to take them down immediately, but allowing them to take root and establish a proper Hive is dangerous. If the Seed does manage to grow a Hive, the Hive will still take time to build proper defenses, so nip it in the bud and eradicate the new Hive quickly.
* Eradicating a Dark Fog Hive requires more than just destroying the Hive itself. Once the Hive's core is destroyed, any Relays occupying planets in the system will send matter back, reconstructing the core almost immediately. While the newly-repaired Hive will still take time to rebuild its defenses, the only way to truly destroy it for good is to also destroy all its Relays in the system. Destroying the Planetary Bases in the system is not necessary; once a Base's Relay is destroyed, the Base will eventually run out of energy and go dormant.

==Summary ==
[[File:Graviton Boost.png|thumb|408x408px|Ray Receiver at full potential via the utilization of MK3 proliferated Graviton Lens.]]
Ray Receivers are used to harvest energy from the [[Dyson Sphere]] and the Dyson Swarm. Like [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]], Ray Receivers require direct line of sight to their energy source to receive energy. Additionally, they become more efficient the longer they receive without interruption. They possess two different modes, one to provide energy directly, the other to convert received energy into [[Critical Photon|Critical Photons]].

=== Power Mode ===
[[File:Ray Receiver Photon Mode Setup with Lens.png|thumb|Ray Receivers putting their produced Critical Photons on a shared belt (left), while being injected with graviton lenses via sorters (right)|416x416px]]
The Power Mode allows the Ray Receiver to receive energy and then provide it to the local energy grid. It starts with 6 MW of power generation and will peak at 15 MW with 100% continuous receiving. If fed with Graviton Lenses the maximum output can reach up to 60 MW, depending of the level of proliferation.

=== Photon Mode ===
After researching the [[Dirac_Inversion_Mechanism_(Tech)|Dirac Inversion Mechanism]] technology, the Ray Receiver can be put in an alternative "Photon" mode where it produces [[Critical_Photon|Critical Photons]]. It starts at 48 MW of receiving, and will ramp up to a maximum of 120 MW. At max efficiency, the Ray Receiver produces 6 Critical Photons per minute. If fed with Graviton Lenses the maximum output can reach up to 480 MW, depending of the level of proliferation.

=== Graviton Lens ===
Once the player has researched the [[Planetary Ionosphere Utilization_(Tech)|Planetary Ionosphere Utilization]] technology, inserting a [[Graviton Lens]] will double* the power conversion of the Ray Receiver. Ray Receivers consume Graviton Lenses at the rate of 0.1 / minute, making them effectively last 10 minutes, regardless of the selected mode or power output.

If the planet has an atmosphere, the Graviton Lens enables the Ray Receiver to collect energy that was reflected off the planet's ionosphere, allowing it to receive energy almost everywhere on the planet, regardless of line of sight. Planets still have a dead spot (the size of which appears to depend on the planet's orbital distance from the star).

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note that [[Proliferator|proliferating]] the Graviton Lens will increase the receiving bonus up to 300%, effectively reducing the amount of Ray receivers required by 75%.

== Receiving Efficiency ==

* The Receiving efficiency decides how much energy is lost due to energy dissipation. The higher the receiving efficiency, the lower the energy dissipation is.
* The Ray Receiver's efficiency can be increased with the [[Ray_Transmission_Efficiency_(Upgrade)|Ray Transmission Efficiency]] [[Upgrades|upgrade]]. The upgrades stack multiplicatively.
* The current receiving efficiency can be seen on the right side in the upgrade tab of the research window.
* The the first 6 Upgrades (small ones) reduce the energy loss by 10%, the seventh and the infinite ones (big ones) reduce it by 15%.
* The continuous receiving bonus increases the actual efficiency even further. Although for values between 0% and 100% the math is very complicated, but at 100% continuous receiving it simplifies to a flat 40% decrease of any receiving losses.
* Continuous receiving will ramp up by 5% in 60 seconds, and reach 100% after 20 minutes of uninterrupted receiving.

====== '''The maximum receiving efficiency can be calculated as follows:''' ======

* <code>max receiving efficiency[%] = 100% - 70% * 0.9^small_upgrade_count * 0.85^big_upgrade_count</code>
* <code>actual receiving efficiency[%] = 100% - 0.6 * solar ray basic energy dissipation[%]</code>, where
* <code>solar ray basic energy dissipation[%] = 100% - max receiving efficiency[%]</code>

====== '''Example for the Ray Transmission Efficiency level 10:''' ======

* Max receiving efficiency: <code>100% - 70% * 0.9^6 * 0.85^4 = '''80.58%'''</code>
* Solar ray basic energy dissipation: <code>100% - max receiving efficiency = 19.42%</code>
* Actual efficiency with '''100%''' continuous receiving: <code>100% - 0.6 * 19.42% = '''88.35%'''</code>

====== The actual power draw on the [[Dyson Sphere]] can be calculated as such: ======

* <code>dyson_sphere_power_draw = energy_output / (100% - energy_dissipation)</code>

====== Example: ======

* <code>120 MW energy_outout / (100% - 20% energy_dissipation) = 150 MW dyson_sphere_power_draw</code>

==Player Tips & Tricks ==
* On planets with a low axial inclination, place Ray Receivers at their poles for maximum exposure & efficiency. The poles of these planets are always within line of sight to the Dyson sphere/swarm.
* For planets with higher axial inclination, there is no such sweet spot. With the Planetary Ionosphere Utilization technology, however, the line-of-sight restriction is largely removed as long as the Ray Receivers have a supply of Graviton Lenses.
* Building Ray Receivers inside a Dyson Sphere, even just a single ring of frames at 0° Orbit Inclination, will cause the efficiency bonus to never degrade. This also works for a Dyson swarm as long as it is maintained.
* Ray Receivers cannot be belted into each other. To actually extract Critical Photons and insert Graviton Lenses, a setup as seen in the third picture on the right is required.
