Holy plate of shrimp: I just built a small Dyson Sphere around a black hole, all by myself! Not quite as big and majestic as these though:

In case you don't know what Dyson Sphere Program is -- think 3D Factorio in Space:

Katherine of Sky has some great DPS videos, and she also plays lots of Factorio and Satisfactory too:

Not sure what I was watching in that first linked video but it was pretty mesmerizing.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of those little dots you see is a solar sail or a rocket that you manufactured out of MANY more bits and pieces of other high tech and raw materials that you mined and refined and assembled from multiple solar systems of planets covered in mega-factories and mazes of conveyor belts and drones and cargo rockets with warp drive!
