Man, I was so surprised when I scrolled down to like this video and I saw that you had *fewer* than 1 million subs. May the algorithm smile upon you because holy shit, you deserve it!
I recently started playing again with a friend on this game with the nebula multiplayer mod, it helps me get hooked back to the game, since managing a lot of planets all on your own gets kind of overwhelming for my small brain when I first started out 😅.
Just got your video recommended out of the blue (probably because recently I've re watch all Coffee stain videos on satisfactory on preparation to ver 1.0). And your video is honestly really good. Keep this up, man. u have a future as a content creator.
I love DSP and your video on it, perfect audio mixing, lovely mic, music coming up at the end, sweet outro and nice calm voice unlike some other reviewers..really nice stuff. one thing we disagree on, DSP music got old for me in the first 48hrs but they did I believe add more tracks for the enemies expansion. Thanks for the video!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I do see what you mean with the music. I guess it was that one song that got me hooked. When I try out the multiplayer soon I might switch it up, I'm just a sucker for space-themed music.
@@easilydistractedgames You are more than welcome, and yeah I agree that first track is amazing I love it still. As for multiplayer, I'm amazed at how well it works, for a mod and continued support by the dev it's beautiful I just hope it can get added natively, I've not had any problems with it even internationally (US-UK multiplayer commonly for me) and the thunderstore mod loader or R2ModMan makes install simple. And another plus for the game, it works fine on steamdeck (although external mouse and keyboard may be required or fiddling with controller through steam input bindings)
the little things that have made me switch my manic focus from factorio over to DSP: belt stacking looping/spherical building surface G R A P H I C S idk theres more but yea
It's hard to say. The devs seem pretty set on the PC for now, especially with the combat update. Transferring to console will take up plenty of resources, so perhaps it'll come closer to its official release.
@@easilydistractedgames that would be cool because it's hard for me to get PC parts where I live and I don't know jack squat about how to find good parts my self sooo I'm kind of stuck as a console gamer.and DSP is a game I like but can't play ya know lol.
It is indeed very cool, ive pkayed through it before and it's easily my favorite factory sim, and one of my favorite games in general. The darkfog update was really awesome, and the pure scale you can make your factories is insane, like, spanning the galaxy (if your computer can handle one that big, at least) Not to mention dyson sphere art
@@iamacatperson7226So I’m bad at math but I managed to spaghetti my way to launching a rocket in Factorio. I really love it. Is Dyson sphere easier in the planning sense than Factorio? Similar at all? Can I make a spaghetti base?
@@terrydactyl2077 Firstly, the combat patch changed everything! This is the cocaine version of factory sim :) Now... spaghetti is my preferred method... as I do not want to keep track of perfect ratios and shipping times... I only track Full Belts. With this, all production obviously stops when everything is full to bursting because you can not have enough outbound shipping... !BUT! that is when all that extra power you were using to make stuff is instead jammed into batteries. with these batteries.. it is entirely possible to setup an entire star system in the dark (no threat)... meaning no dyson swarm or sphere for power generation, only the juice from other systems being shipped in. This lets you build Everything you need to swiftly build a Dyson Sphere AFTER you have already turned the system into a fortress. You can get this done between the natural threat cycles, which is the goal I always set for myself..... Warp Sail to a new system. Get it set up in the "dark". Then rapidly build a Dyson Sphere with all the planets fully ready to not only receive all that power.... but to defend themselves from space attacks (which the Dark Fog needs to succeed at in order to land ground bases) Long Live The Flying Spaghetti Monster! May It's Noodley appendage touch ALL factory sim games 🤪😂🍁🦫❤🍻🍻
@@terrydactyl2077spaghetti all the way in 3d! Complexity wise DSP is simpler than factorio but the experience of building dyson sphere is just hard to beat.
@@whensonzhou4174 Awesome! Sounds so cool the idea of all the planets and having an interconnected system to build a huge project in the middle! One thing I tend to do though is wait until a game is out of early access before playing. Sometimes like with Factorio I didn’t wait because of it being pretty much functioning and complete. Do you think I should wait longer for 1.0 with DSP or start playing now? Do they have a rough release date for 1.0?
When I fist played it, the game felt finished. It felt different enough from the other titles to be noticed but Factorio was still my favorite due to the scale of the blueprinting and auto construction. Satisfactory has it at a smaller scale but gives way more creative freedom. Now with the changes its time to revisit. Update Section: I like the novelty of the changes but there is no war economy angle so it does not integrate itself in the core gameplay loop; like a neat side quest rather than new a mechanic. Feels like space exploration mod for Factorio if the mod dev decided to focus further along the combat tree at the expense of adding new crafting changes.
i like this game alot and i hope the devs have some amazing stuff for us in the coming bigger updates. And later when the game is more complete you have a big space empire and many convoys that deliver stuff to you dyson sphere but you must protect your convoys in space there trade routes and so on. This game is so fun and i'm realy looking forward what comes next in the next bigger feature update
The production quality of your videos are really good! However the quality of the video although says 1080p doesnt feel like that. Nice work though, this is the kind of channel that will grow.
Thanks! That's weird, I guess the game trailers I featured were too old, and the footage I capture is it 1080 with some settings lowered to help with capture. Will keep that in mind though going forward.
@@easilydistractedgames It feels very much like 480p quality. You'll have to fiddle around with those settings a bit more. Compare your 1080p with other youtubers and you'll get what I mean. Good luck!
@@easilydistractedgames Far to many to count. My first few play throughs were to make 1TW of power in under 100 hours. That is a good challenge. Then I tried a playthru to make a sphere on all 63 suns (excluding the black hole) That took about 1000 hours. And now with the fog, 100 hours for 1TW is a lot harder.
i have 1100+ hours in this game. It is so good! you just have to play it to see and feel just how good it is. They haven't even added the ability to build orbital stations yet (though that's far in the future if ever.)
Actually, I'd like you to review a _website,_ of all things. Specifically, 'FactorioLab', the factory game calculator. Why that calculator in particular? Despite the name, it also supports Dyson Sphere, Satisfactory, Captain of Industry, Techtonica, _and_ Final Factory. It allows for *insanely* in-depth calculation of input and output ratios of anything in the game. Want to know how many of product A you can produce with only X machines when components B & C is limited to Y & Z per second? Easy. (You'll need to dedicate some time to figuring out all it can do, but it will be time *_well_* spent and your viewers will definitely appreciate your efforts.) Cheers!
Played it like 60 hours at EA release and the plan was to wait on coop for a second run. But if we ever get that? Started my second run yesterday and I still miss a coop option. It is so overwhelming (again) and it would be fun if the other player can start on another planet to get silicon and stuff
Putting Silicon and Titanium on the starting planet would be too easy not to encourage people to leave the planet. I have mates who didn't know you could leave the home planet. The game up till white cubes is really all tutorial. Once you get past that and start making infinite upgrade paths is where the game gets hard. So much balancing and power needs. The end goal should not have been 4k universal matrix but should have been 1TW or 1 PW of power for CentreBrain. I think the 4k cubes is far to short esp when you need millions of them by a few upgrades in endgame.
I purchased DSP when it was first released in 2021, i put in 1000 hours within the first year. I have roughly 1750 hours into it now with multiple saves over 100-150 hours each (long since deleted). I have never played a factory sim game before but building a dyson sphere (I have multiple built in every save file) is just so satisfying. I highly recommend watching Nilaus for gameplay advice.
I played this back a few updates before Dark Fog. I feel like picking it up again now...especially if the Multiplayer mod turns out. I'll subscribe for the video!
DSP is so good, that I firmly believe they should have removed the Early Access tag and charged for the Dark Fog DLC. I would have GLADLY paid it since I already got several hundred hours from the game.
@@iamacatperson7226best game ever, plays more like a city sim/rts game than a factory game. The scale is just epic, fully deformable terrain, lots of verticality if you like it. Also its possible to make some realistic looking factories. I played a lot of Satisfactory and DSP but nothing hit me like COI did. Best thing is its made by 2 devs and they update every few days and are very good at taking feedback.
DSP is on a nice discount right now and I am thinking of picking it and keep it in my backlog. I will play it later. So I watched your video to check whether the game is for me or not. I play Factorio nowadays which is my most relaxing game and love it. Your video helped me! Thanks!
Got this recently, amidst many other game purchases including Elden Ring DLC, and Dyson Sphere is what im currently playing, which is a positive review I'd say!
there isn't that many sound tracks in the game but they are so good that even if you have listened to them 1000 times, it really doesn't get old. so many amazing factory games one after another. also the reason DSP runs so well is because they are using Unity DOTS, which is a ECS (entity component system). the way you have to program is slightly different but it lines the data/logic up for the cpu/gpu in ways that they like and that is why it's so performant. it's harder on human eyes but easier for the computer to execute. i believe Factorio and Satisfactory have their own version of ECS (custom built, i don't believe the Unreal Engine has a pre built ECS solution). my wow factor was taken by fortresscraft evolved (very jank but the fun kind!) but since i got DSP when it was only a few months old on steam EA it changed to DSP. the scale that DSP brings is honestly unparallel to any other game so far.
Yup the Dark Fog really changed it up, I liked it. Hooking up conveyor belts to your weapon systems will definitely help prevent constant reloading. Well that helped me. Glad you enjoying it still!
My beef with these types of games is there is no search function to find the specific material you mining or been fabricating. So a lot of those games causes you to lose a lot of time on finding said components. The more you expand, to more you spend time trying to figure out what you placed where. Sure, you will remember a lot of the locations, but for the ones you don't, you'll scratch your head for a minute making more of a "find Waldo" than actual gameplay. It just gets worse the more you expand. These types of games needs a proper SEARCH function.
100% agree and it's something that threw me off initial playthroughs. However, after watching a tutorial on the game (think it's Dutch Actuary), he explained the importance of building malls, making it easy to find everything in one place. Not ideal, but that plus adding icons to conveyor belts really helped me find what I needed.
@@easilydistractedgames -- I can guarantee the company who can make a proper search function and a high rating game; will set the standard for every game moving forward. Devs often confuses difficulty with inconvenience.
Couldn't agree more on the verdict. Out of 3 big hitters in the genre DSP seems the most complete. Little simpler than Factorio but bigger. Not as good looking as Satisfactory but with substance to it - especially now with Dark Fog. I got bored with Satisfactory lack of gravity and enemies. You can pretty much build anything anywhere. There is no difficulty factor to the game. DSP definitely no.1.
@easilydistractedgames If I sound out the word in English, i'd spell it "Courts-gae-sahk-t" (scilent t, no e). It's okay, though. German is tough to pronounce sometimes, heck I'm native german and I have trouble pronnouncing things lol
DSP is by FAR my favorite of the factory/automation sims. spherical planets. orbital mechanics (at least for the planets and moons). space flight. dyson spheres. several different levels of automation. now combat. SO GOOD. I have Factorio, Satisfactory, Mindustry, Astroneer, Shapez, Big Pharma (which isn't quite the same, but is close). It's a genre I like, and DSP also taps my interest in space 8D My ONLY complaint is the mech customization system. I see how powerful it can be, but I just can't wrap my head around making the things that I want to make 8D (I have some experience with 3d modeling programs, but the skills do not transfer for me 8)
That's awesome! Yeah I struggle to sink hours into sim games these days, but there was constantly satisfying aspects to the game that are often hard to translate here, people just need to experience it for themselves!
Ok hold up, at 9:02 why do your missiles look so cool??? Like they launch up and then the exhaust lights like a real missile. I swear mine don't do that in-game (though I've only used the entry-level missiles and the final gravity missiles, never the supersonic missiles). Are my settings different, or am I just not noticing it?
@@easilydistractedgames ohh thanks, makes sense. Maybe that's something the broader public will get in a future update or with varied graphics settings. It's cool to see that despite how gorgeous the game already is, they have plans to make it look even better...
Yup! I'm busy looking for a replacement. On Reddit they suggested Oxygen Not Included. Different style, but shares similar qualities. So might do a review on it later.
Note: Dyson Sphere Program does allow multiplayer via the nebula multiplayer mod. I haven't tried it yet but will do so soon.
@@easilydistractedgames oh I had no idea there was a multiplayer mod!!!!
Yeah I have used it before and it does great, most of the time. Was around the time dark fog came out, so no official dark fog support
Man, I was so surprised when I scrolled down to like this video and I saw that you had *fewer* than 1 million subs. May the algorithm smile upon you because holy shit, you deserve it!

Haha just wait, you'll be back in a week saying how addictive it is, well hopefully!
bro, i was not thinking kurzgesagt in the slightest
My brain is as smooth as a does' fur but I still love this game.
there isn't that many sound tracks in the game but they are so good that even if you have listened to them 1000 times, it really doesn't get old.
so many amazing factory games one after another.
also the reason DSP runs so well is because they are using Unity DOTS, which is a ECS (entity component system). the way you have to program is slightly different but it lines the data/logic up for the cpu/gpu in ways that they like and that is why it's so performant. it's harder on human eyes but easier for the computer to execute.
i believe Factorio and Satisfactory have their own version of ECS (custom built, i don't believe the Unreal Engine has a pre built ECS solution).
my wow factor was taken by fortresscraft evolved (very jank but the fun kind!) but since i got DSP when it was only a few months old on steam EA it changed to DSP. the scale that DSP brings is honestly unparallel to any other game so far.
Wow I never knew that! Also yeah, I love the soundtrack in this, every time it boots up I know it's gonna be a good session.
Currently doing my 3rd playthrough (first with the dark fog). And all I can say is : Best, Game, Ever !
Yup the Dark Fog really changed it up, I liked it. Hooking up conveyor belts to your weapon systems will definitely help prevent constant reloading. Well that helped me. Glad you enjoying it still!

What factors of Captains of Industry do you enjoy more compared to DSP?
got to about 200hours in and then my pc just started to slow so i could not finnish the game :(

My beef with these types of games is there is no search function to find the specific material you mining or been fabricating.

I have Factorio, Satisfactory, Mindustry, Astroneer, Shapez, Big Pharma (which isn't quite the same, but is close). It's a genre I like, and DSP also taps my interest in space 8D
My ONLY complaint is the mech customization system. I see how powerful it can be, but I just can't wrap my head around making the things that I want to make 8D (I have some experience with 3d modeling programs, but the skills do not transfer for me 8)
That's awesome! Yeah I struggle to sink hours into sim games these days, but there was constantly satisfying aspects to the game that are often hard to translate here, people just need to experience it for themselves!
DSP is my #1 game and has been since it came out.
Ok hold up, at 9:02 why do your missiles look so cool??? Like they launch up and then the exhaust lights like a real missile. I swear mine don't do that in-game (though I've only used the entry-level missiles and the final gravity missiles, never the supersonic missiles). Are my settings different, or am I just not noticing it?
Good catch! I've been trying to find those too. This footage was taken from the dev's trailer, so I'll try ask around and let you know!
@@easilydistractedgames ohh thanks, makes sense. Maybe that's something the broader public will get in a future update or with varied graphics settings. It's cool to see that despite how gorgeous the game already is, they have plans to make it look even better...
this factory sim is very much one of the most satisfying factory games you can play.
Yup! I'm busy looking for a replacement. On Reddit they suggested Oxygen Not Included. Different style, but shares similar qualities. So might do a review on it later.
Super good stuff! Well done!
May the algorithm favor you
Not that great
