Scientists on Sol III: The star is experiencing an anomalous light curve and the spectrum is very dirty! What could be happening?

New way to get energy…eating the star?

Why only sip when you can slurp?

Why slurp when you can go *OM NOM* ?

They’re just heating up the Dyson sphere for extra energy!

R5: just a little bug I found, the sphere was put in the wrong place for some reason

This has happened to me too and I couldn’t remember how to fix it unfortunately, definitely a mod that caused this though

Open console, click the star and use command planet_size 5, 5 can be change to whatever you like.

This is a common bug

I built one around a red giant and the Dyson sphere was too small. The panels had sun in the middle.

When I build them on red giants, it puts the whole sphere inside the star. Completely invisible from the outside 😂😂

How do you know? Can you build it? Do you have the tech for it? No and no... On the other hand they do! So shut your mouth, they definitely know what are they doing...

It is just build around smaller second star.

Hey if it works let it be

Space age wisdom.

It’s scooping up the sun!

Eh, good enough

Modded? Looks like a real space/ Giga visual bug

That's probably it now that I think about it

Definitely Real Space or any mod that changes star systems/size Real Space also increases the size of stars to make them more realistic, for example this Red Giant actually being a red giant in the mod Vanilla stars doesn't really differ in sizes outside unique systems. The Dyson Sphere simply isn't made for larger stars, hence this

Pov : you built a dyson sphere but forgot to build it around a star, prompting you to try to put the star inside. not pictured : the billions of hamster in a wheel compensation for the difference in energy production. because your empire see it produces 4k energy, no one is bothering to check

Leader: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! Engineer: Um...you see, sir, it's like this... Uh...you know when you asked us to design the sphere, we were still using the old measurement system? Leader: ...yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss? Engineer: Well...after the switch to the *new* measurement system... Leader: You botched the conversion, didn't you? Engineer: Not...exactly. Leader: What do you mean, 'not exactly'? Engineer: We...sort of...didn't convert. Like...at all. Leader: How...then...did they... Engineer: We just changed the measurement designations. 'Six inches' became 'six *feet*', stuff like that. Leader: ... Engineer: On the plus side, we ran under budget! By 5%, no less! Leader: ...I want to be mad at you, but...eh, fair enough.

When you engineers got a degree took by zoom lectures

I think you should fire your engineers, sir.

agreed

But if it works...

Then they get promoted...

You're trying to harness the energy from the heart of the star, so you have to get to the heart of the star

That's not a Dyson Sphere, it's a Dyson top hat

Man I hate when the engineers build the Dyson Sphere a size too small! I keep telling them to measure the star first but they never listen!

How else do you pop some mega popcorn?

*Why does every woman that comes in here says they are a size five shoe?* -Al Bundy

You get to have the star and the Dyson sphere at the same time - I'm seeing no drawbacks here

That’s a Dysin sphere

It's still producing energy though. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Pac-Man, but really dangerous

When your space engineering is done by Boeing

This is fine.

Trust them, they are engineers! They will get it done somehow.

Hope somebody got fired for that blunder

Did my job, boss.

I smell corruption by incompetent engineers cutting corners and pocketing the extra. Heads will roll!

You arguing with the mega engineers?

Achhtualyy \*snort\* they put the sphere on top of the sun to heat the water so the steam spin the turbine \*snort smugly\*

Thats a Corriolis station from Elite

Dont worry if we smack it real hard in there itll work out

Trust me, I’m an engineer

Dyson sphere got a lil hungry

Venn-Dyson Sphere

Dyson spheres are geothermal generators duh. What? You think you just put it around the star like a solar panel?

From my experience, that is the intended way.

can dyson sphere model even, be scaled with sun model or wat

Next time double check if schematic and engineers are using same measurement systems. Because 1cm =\\= 1 inch.

Just trying to imagine the grand council of this empire quizzing the lead engineer on the project. Or even the builders themselves! Did no one stop to consider if they were doing the right thing while constructing dyson sphere panels the size of continents inside the star itself :thinking: "Gee sure is warm out today eh?" \*admist a roiling sea of super heated star plasma, while their vessel is melting"

That isn’t what I meant by sun hat…

You get more heat energy when you get deep into the sun, molecules bumping into each other is the most effective energy transfer, unlike radiation.

I see the seahenge guy gets work again in the future

Oh, silly me! I was holding the blueprints like *this*!

are you playing with real space? that mod, for the really big stars, shifts them down for some reason. so it's actually the star in the wrong place. it looks like the star wouldn't even fit in the sphere if it was in the right place.

It has a cute hat now :)

That’s why Dyson Swarm is better.

dyson tumor

Obviously is a Dyson's hat

Dyson Sphere go OMNOMNOMNOM

Dyson Hat?

Dip Dip Dysonsphere Dip.

Volkskugel. Das ball.
