- I wasn't able to find a video that shows this.
This is the the Nicoll-Dyson Gigastructure. It has the ability to destroy a planet similar to a Colossus-with the added benefit of being able to fire from the other side of the galaxy. You can even destroy entire star systems once in awhile. This video showcases the destruction of an entire star system. - เกม
Sooo, apparently the youtube algorithm did a thing...
How in the world did all of you find this video?!?! This was made for some chap on reddit who wanted to see what this looked like. Never expected this... haha Crazy!! Y'all are awesome btw. The comments are great!
Its all Thanks to the New nemesis DLC
TH-cam has rivalry with Tiktok. I think this is the way they want to beat Tiktok.
It was in my home page
Got recommended, bruh
That is a Birthday gift or smth) Awesome vid, nonetheless.
POV: You've never played Stellaris but the title was cool.
True. But can you tell me what I just watched? Is that something that happens in the story, or did the Player do this??
@@desmonddart5163 player did this to his own territory. He's gone 200 years(probably 50+hours in realtime including endgame lag) past the vanilla victory year so he probably just did it for fun lmao
@@ageofhedonism Whoa, That's so damn epic to have a game, where you can build something incredible like this 😶 Imagine you build up your territory and suddenly outta nowhere someone blows it all up with a self made hyper death ray 😶
@@desmonddart5163 personally, I'd say the most impressive part is that this comes from a mod where this isn't even the strongest megastructure you can build. Something similar is coming to the vanilla game as a DLC but it's actually insane what you can do in this game with mods
@@ageofhedonism absolutely👍 Too bad I could never play that, since it would fry my computer and I can't afford a better one 😩
Maxim 37: There is no overkill. There is only "open fire" and "reload".
Addendum: If you need a calendar to compute minimum safe distance, there _might_ be "overkill".
Also appropriate:
Maxim 13: Do unto others.
a calendar? A calendar is insufficient to compute minimum safe distance. There are ideas out there for wiping out entire galaxies by building supermassive "black hole bombs"
On the other hand it might also be possible to make giant "black hole beam guns" from the supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies.
@@inventor121 Such things are neither feasible, nor practical.
The joke, however (as far as the 70 Maxims is concerned) is that if minimum safe distance is more than a couple light-days away from the point of impact/deployment, using the weapon MIGHT be overkill.
@@aerfwefd7334 The weapon shown in the clip seems to induce a supernova. The minimum safe distance from one of those is measured in light _years._

“I used the star to destroy the star”
a star destroyer being used to its fullest potential xD it was born to do this!
I know I'm late but it's actually interesting because in essence they're taking a protostar in it's earliest form and conduit-ing that energy into the other star speeding up it's process till it burns itself out in an explosion. It's rather practical however hard to achieve.
Yep, who needs a slowass hokie Death Star, draggin its sorry ass around the galaxy, when you can just shoot from the hip kiddo! ;)
@@ugandanknuckles3900 That would still be on the timescale of billions of years and stupidly impractical.
It's funny, but then you realize you can destroy the joke by pointing out that it should be "I used a star to destroy a star" because there are many stars, unlike the gems.

I like how it destroys hyperlanes, but the system is still there. so you could make your own little corner of the galaxy that you have to jump in and out of.

For the record nicoll and Dyson (yes that guy) came up with the idea idea for this(built out of tin foil sheets attached to a few million satellites) to demonstrate that with current levels of tech(although a lot more anger management issues), a species could build one of these and burn every planet in the galaxy every 10000 years. This demonstrates that

A=genocidal aliens killing off all life is not the the reason there are no signals from space.
B=humans are far more omnicidal than any species we share the galaxy with...

"Omnicide", huh? Now I know what my Limit Break would be called.
@@doriantheobald6196 It may seem impossibly low probability, on the other hand there has to be a first and we may just be it.
@@Navhkrin as low as having another single intelligent species outside earth
And this thread explains a fraction of the reason why we are omnicidal. Single-minded, incessant and downright delusional arrogance on a mass scale.
played stellaris for a week, every run ends up with end game micromanagement. I really wished the automation actually worked.
dont expand so much if you have issues with micro? Just vassalize other empires my dude, let them do the work for you
@@dazurathefirst8456 then you can't get the resources or anything from it. and the AI is useless in that regard
yeah but the game runs like ass already so i think a performance update is needed before an AI one
At that point your empire can afford to bear the economic burden of a lack of micro dude. Trust me, once your economy is big enough, there are really only a few planets you have to care about. The rest you fix when there's a serious issue.
If you tried this game 4 years ago, micromanagement was far worse. So to me it's more or less tolerable at this level these days.

theres no grimdarkness in a nicoll-dyson beam, you need a ww1 trench warfare feeling for that with blood and mud and shrapnell. id describe the beam from a pre type 1 civilization as eldritch even, lovecraftian
@@TheHortoman I suppose the definition of grimdark is subjective. I find plenty of grimdarkness in "Hey, let's fire this thing at star X to make sentient species Y go extinct before they become a threat or to show everyone that planet Z's insubordination will not be tolerated. What's that? You say that'll kill billions of innocent civilians? Details, details. Now let's see some fireworks!"
"See that star over there? Fuck it, and everything in the immediate vicinity."
Yep, cause a supernova & you should wipe out most carbon-based life within 30-50 light years (in theory).
The funny thing is when you finished building it, it granted to 100 positive diplomatic points toward other empires (Not fallen empires). The reason is "Terrifying hyper-weapon". Sometime in game, I built this thing for diplomatic purposes and destroy the crisis.
Hahahaha 🤣 you build death star .... For peace. I would see Empire propoganda for this.

@@kevinhenrique4256 What
@@KnownNiche1999 about what? Vanilla supernovas or spies?
If you purchase the game, the mod is Gigastructural Engineering
thats why i like using the lanes... it creates random choke points which force you to not plan just the next system or empire to engage but to what choke point is available next. so at each of these choke points you end up developing fortress systems...and behind them planets that while not overly developed are usually specialized in ship or economy output.
Man, if only the Imperium of Man could have something like this in Warhammer 40k. They’d be able to cause quite a few Xenos star systems to disappear
Funnily enough, the Necrons can actually do that.
@@ASNS117Zero so we can say that, when we reach this point in the game, we are stronger than the Imperium?
@@danielm.595 honestly, yeah. Endgame Stellaris empires are more or less dark age of technology tier in a lot of ways, especially if you look past arbitrary game mechanics like megastructure build limits.
Blue Dog or Tau would be able to destroy fortified imperium worlds
-With the exception of the Exodites, most Eldar are in Craftworlds that are hard to find or in the Webway, which the Imperium can’t access.
-Tyranids and Orks don’t tend to stay in a system for too long.
-Necrons have an real-time map of the galaxy that blows up anything they touch.
-T’au and Votaan are the only ones that would be in immediate danger of being wiped out.
Edit:
-Chaos is in the Warp so, good luck with that.
So basically it uses the mass of the Star to make the other one go over its critical mass and collapse into a supernova, however, the first (blue) star would significantly increase its radius during the mass transfer and its fusion reaction would greatly diminish due to the drop in temperature during the expansion. This means that such a device would probably be destroyed during its operation as it would be engulfed by the star, and also its orbit would change as the mass of the star changes, which implies the star’s gravity will change as well. Tidal forces would be extreme and the structure could collapse due to this as well. Oh, and also, the transfer of mass implies a change in momentum, which means the Star would experience an acceleration due to Newton’s 2nd law, such a large transfer of mass would probably mean a change in the star’s orbit, and a catastrophic change in the orbits of any planets surrounding it, which could render that solar system unstable, and habitable planets in that system not habitable anymore...
Yeah it’s kinda cool, let’s do it.
that's why probably it would be wiser to not buid that on a system that's colonized. maybe probes would be sent to uncharted systems and if the need arises they could gather resources off orbiting plantes, build that on the star and use it for whatever reason. all you lose is potential resources off those planets and a star
That's the spirit of humanity speaking right there
im not too sure about the mass transfer, i know, thats what it looks like, but the original nicoll dison thing is afaik "just" a star-powered superlaser (which is capable of grilling planets several lightyears away) that is solely powered by the radiation of the star its build around and doesnt manipulate the stars mass in any way.
A far cheaper option is to just focus the star light into multiple building sized projectiles, which would accelerate them to a good fraction of lightspeed, you then open a wormhole and each projectile hits with enough force to kill a planet. You can destroy multiple systems at once without needing to supernova a star
We dont know it would actually work by transferring the mass. It might be a type of beam that aims the core of the star and making it go supernova. The problem is, we dont exactly know how the collapsing core suddenly bombs and not just collapse into neutron star or black hole. (Not every major star goes supernova, some of them - even though they have enough mass for a nova- only collapse.) So there just maybe another mechanism to blasat that aimed star.
"what the fuck is that"
"Oh its just the unmatched power of the sun!"
Fires gigantic sun laser at an enemy star system. Sees bad guys are called arachnid swarm. Whole new meaning to the term kill it with fire
They declared war on us. We declared Exterminatus on them.
@@borbo23 oh extraminatus is just one of the many Imperium superweapons
So... can you destabilise a Star to get a similar effect to this but with wormhole generator being near the target and the other end being near a Black Hole level gravity well (or event horizon) ?
@@CompatibilityMadness The mechanicus would have something stashed away on mars that could do that, yes. Just don't ask if they KNOW it's there.
@@ryanperryjasper Also the inquisitors were against much of new innovations of Imperium isn’t?
@@angelofthedead1886 no that’s higher ups of the mechanicus they generally will not authorize inventions such as AI or involving technology they deem heretical and they can’t understand IE warp technology ,necron bio metal,dark eldar tech etc otherwise they actually do Permit RnD for tech marines and Magoses
And we'll remember this, AS THE LAST DAY OF JONDUS!
Now imagine after the supernova, a black hole forms and starts pulling all the systems closer.
Almost the same size of the load of a minecraft player who started a carreer in architecture.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Dyson vacuums have really progressed. Did it create more or less dirt? Could be a design flaw.

Thank you for reminding me how truly awful the lategame lag is
Bruh this is the first proper stellaris equivalent to modern day nukes

Step 2: Jump Drive construction in there and claim solar system
Step 3: Build Ring World in said system
Step 4: Colonize

Well as it turns out you don't need a giant gigastructure enveloping an entire star to destroy a star system all you really need is a big cube
Carl Sagan: - THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT
I love this game soooo much! I learn something new almost every time I play. However I have yet to destroy any star system. I have a Necroid Magacorp game going on at the moment where this very well could be a possibility for me. End game hasn't been my strong suite.
This is actually part of a mod for Stellaris, not part of the basegame

I learned the hard way that you can't just close the Nicoll-Dyson beam targeting selection window, you have to hit the cancel button or it will just destroy whatever system was at the top of the target list.

I'm loving this lmao I've watched like 5 times, that's quite the intense weapon.
Sad part is if we ever figure out how to make Dyson sphere we would likely weaponize it because if you look back at any new technology we have developed people tried to figure out if it could be turn into a weapon.
good
This is the true reason aliens don't visit us.
good thing its entirely theoretical and likely impossible
could have say the same thing with nukes yet it never being use other than the end of WW2
Xenophobe Fallen Empire: We want a buffer between us. A cold, empty buffer.
Me: Your wish is my command.
So since there's no command to remove a system, the modder got around by changing star class, reducing "planet" size, and removing all hyperlanes to the system.
Also kind of makes sense. If you 'destroy' a star system your not obliterating a suns worth of matter.
Rather your superheating the star, making it undergo runaway fusion and it supernova's leaving behind a neutron star and a lot of dead people.
Ah! You just gave me an idea to destroy the Compound! ( the biggest Crisis the game has ever seen, they take no damage from non Dark matter weapons).
who needs cyclonic torpedoes when u have one of these ready and available
Coming to EVE Online next summer.
Lol, imagine. That would be a pretty interesting character study though. Give players a nuke and an actual way to destroy the game. Will they develop their own version of the Cold War. Or will it be the end of the game? And a poetic end at that.
Knowing EVE? Jita would be gone in seconds, then every single faction in the game would probably come together to wipe it out. Would be beautiful.
'Some men just want to watch the world burn.' They'd never take the chance that some serious emo-space kid would blow up the universe just to see it happen.

Using this you can practically seal off your empire, by destroying systems that create chokepoints with the hyperlanes. You can effectively heavily fortify just a single system, station your fleets there and then create a gate, using it to navigate in and out.

Reminds of the scene Holden saw on The Expanse.
huh, leaves behind a red dwarf? or something? How do they describe the effect? triggering a supernova or just "Ima firing my LAZOR, BWAHHH!" ?
You're the one who clicked on the video titled after a gigaweapon
the beam probably penetrates the core of the start disrupting fusion and causes it to implode? or maybe it kicks up fusion more and the star blows itself apart? It look like the beam is some kind of plasma uplifted from the host star channeled then accelerated --_-- kinda derpy if you wanna live around that start you'd be shortening it's life span and that beam looks pretty sizable.
You play with gigaenginnering for so long and you forget that it isnt a base part of the game
And that's why you always need a ZPM in Reserve to protect the stargate with a shield. Otherwise the replicators are a Real problem 😉
