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:

I am at the stage of producing the warp tokens but I don't feel like going back to it, don't know why.

For some reason DSP is not hooking me as much as Factorio

I've made it a little bit past that point, where I have the warp tokens, but I have to manually fly to neighbouring systems....and that's where I stopped playing. It's just not fun. It takes a few minutes of real time just sitting there doing nothing while you fly, only to set up some ships moving at equally glacial speed to move something that optimizes an extremely small element of your factory. All while further and perhaps more interesting systems are simply out of your reach without advancing everything past yet another tier.

I've poured about 60 hours into this game and I'm done. Back to Satisfactory for me.
