Dyson Sphere Program Major Update 0.7.18.6914 – Patch Notes and Highlights

Youthcat Studio, the developers of Dyson Sphere Program have been hard at work over the last few months on the next major update of the game. Update 0.7.18.6914 adds some significant features and changes to the game. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights and patch notes. 

Dyson Sphere Program Update 0.7.18.6914 Highlights

There are a ton of changes with the new update, but here are some of the features that stand out.

• New Milky Way View – Showing all engineers as part of one galaxy. Each seed has its own place in the galaxy, and players with the highest power generation in that seed are displayed. The Milky Way view effectively acts as a leaderboard. 
• Mass Construction Function – You can now click and drag a structure to duplicate it in a row. Mass construction is a significant time-saver that players previously had to install mods to do. Inserters are also copied with your structures. 
• Free Line Assembly Line – Assembly lines now have a “free line” mode where they won’t snap to the grid any longer. 
• Colored Foundations – You can now choose the color of the foundations.
• New Planets – There are four new planet types. Dry Lack Planet, Scarlet Ice Lake PLanet, Hurricane Stone Forest Planet, Blossom Forest Planet

Plus tons more! Read on for the full patch notes.
