Dyson Sphere Program

Factory-building sim where you automate resource chains across multiple planets to build a star-encompassing megastructure. You start on a single world extracting raw materials, then scale up through increasingly complex production lines—smelters, assemblers, chemical plants—until you're launching components into orbit. The game adds interplanetary logistics: you'll ferry goods between worlds, each with different resource deposits and terrain. As your factory grows, you research technologies to tap stellar energy directly. The core loop is identifying bottlenecks, redesigning layouts, and expanding to new planets when local resources run dry. No combat or survival pressure—this is pure optimization. Expect to spend hours tweaking conveyor belt ratios and power grids. Appeals to players who find satisfaction in watching self-sustaining systems hum along.
