=== Basics of the Dyson Shell === | |||
* Each Node has 30 Structure Points. | |||
* Each Frame has a number of Structure Points based on the Orbit Radius of the Dyson Shell Layer. This number is rounded to multiples of 20. So two identical Layers with slightly different Orbit Radii can rarely have the same number of Structure Points. | |||
* Each Structure Point produces ~95.8KW times the star's Luminosity. (This is definitely not a whole number, but it does seem to be a constant.) | |||
* Each Structure Point takes one Small Carrier Rocket to build. | |||
* Each Shell has a number of Cell Points based on the Orbit Radius of the Dyson Shell Layer. | |||
* Each Cell Point produces 15KW times the star's Luminosity. | |||
* Each Cell Point takes one Solar Sail to build. | |||
This means the power produced per Small Carrier Rocket or Solar Sail only varies based on the star's Luminosity. The Orbit Radius only affects the maximum power output of the Layer (and possibly the continuous receiving uptime of the Ray Receivers). | |||
Note: There are currently some bugs and inconsistencies in the UI as of version 0.9.27.15466. | |||
* When selecting a Node in the Editor, the Structure Points listed includes 30 for the Node and half of each Frame attached to the Node. But the Generation Capacity is only for the Node. | |||
* When selecting a Node in the Editor, the Generation Capacity listed includes the star's Luminosity multiplier; but when selecting a Frame or Cell, it does not include the multiplier. | |||

Recent testing indicates that the mathematical "story" may be different than outlined below, and that the numbers merely lined up out of happenstance. This section will be updated once further testing has established the proper mathematical relationships.}} | {{Note Box|The information below is accurate as far as the assumptions made during the observations.
