Hello guys and welcome back to our first review of the year, where we will be looking at the game Dyson Sphere Program. This game has just been released to Early Access and I must admit I’m impressed but there are some things that need to be changed.
In short though TLDR: Should you buy the game? Probably, Yes.

Even If It Isnt; It Will Be In The Future
Why you think game will slow down? I'm running capped to my monitor refresh rate after I filled the first planet. Planet won't need to exist when you're not there, only the basic math calculations.
I think this game is not so much about optimizing/efficiency.
I just make sure to over-calculate stuffs then I'm good to go.
I love the game. Its giving you that Satisfactory and Factorio in one package while letting you relax a bit more.
The slow walk and mecha energy are a pain the first time you play, on my second playthrough I chose a better planet that didn't leave me on a tiny sandbar, I also built everything localized so walking wasn't a thing, I moved my wind turbines into a field and gave me loads more room for factories, a great push in research will unlock the drone transport systems so I'll always be working locally.
Most of the problems you're talking about make more sense when you reach mid game interplanetary factories with drone transport systems mean it's a bit of an idle game for the first 20 hours or so but after that it's like building modules in local positions and moving what it produces to I guess large fields of factories you can mass produce things with. The complexity just adds content for me but the ratios could use a bit more polish I would agree I suppose.
One change I'd like to see is a drag and drop function that you can use to remove trees, rocks, plants, etc. So if I wanted to clear an area I could just drag a box around the area and my drones would go to work removing it all.
This video could have been 1 minute long if you didn't talk so slow.
TL DR: WaB
Everything is ground base? No space stations, nothing in space happening other than the ultimate goal to build a Dyson Sphere?
It's a ton of fun! I love this game. I can't believe how well done it is for an early access game, and I really can't believe it was only $20! Good stuff.
Bought the game on Saturday and already have more than 40 hours😅.
The game is fantastic! Not a single bug yet, no framerate drops and what I think is one of the best games we will see this year!
With a definite learning curve, the game develops a flow after a while. It's a city builder without people.
Incredible game for early access! the music and watching your base come together is relaxing as hell.
Oh dear, there goes my little free time again…
Isn't the risk of this game, that when you get to the 2nd, 3rd and so on planets, it will get very repetitive?
<edit> I have seen a channel use Worth a Buy as it's catchphrase. I thought I clicked on that and heard your voice instead…
1:30 Nothing cleaner then a dyson haha
This all sounds good but am I emotionally ready to abandon my Factorio trains??? 🚂🚂🚂
I have 12 hours in two days. It cost me £12 in Anglo money. I have precisely no problems with this game. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to optimize my expenditure/enjoyment ratio further.
7:47 is a long time to say "Yes" 🤔😂
I have never seen such overwhelming positivity for an early access game that JUST came out, I had to look up some reviews on here to make sure they weren't paid reviewers. I guess I'll be picking this up.
Console?
I’m now 40 hours in and me and my mates bought the game, this game is great. The feeling of finally completing the project you started hours before just is overwhelming. Aslong as this game adds more planets and more places to explore I will recommend this amazing game.
Yes I agree it's a great game, but I can't agree about the music. There is only one song that repeats after a few minutes. Granted, it's the sort of game you can play your own music or podcast to, but it'd be nice to have a greater selection of in-game music too.
Don't you think it's a bit early for a review? 10 hours, and you haven't even finished the Dyson Sphere? As far as the Robot goes, just don't let him get over-encumbered, problem solved. It's a tough lesson to learn, I've had to learn it myself with "7 Days to Die", that there are a number of things I would have done different, and most of my criticisms of that game were based on the fact that I had an ideal of how I wanted the game to be, which didn't always match the goals of the developers. You normally give a review after having completed the games overall objectives at least once. Reviews should cover game breaking bugs, lag, optimizations, or rather, lack thereof, and conduct of the developers towards the consumers who have purchased their products, all of this being protected by the Consumer Review Fairness Act of 2016.
Satisfactory has raised my power bill already. Fake resources cost real resources. I want my life back
