Understanding Power Grids and Fuel in Dyson Sphere Program

Dyson Sphere Programis all about power. After all, your long-term goal is to create a Dyson Sphere capable of harnessing the energy of a star. But in order to do that, you’ll need more modest sources of energy in order to power your colossal planet-devouring factories and production chains.

OurDyson Sphere Program power and energy guidewill help you to fully understand how power grids work in this game, along with tips on keeping your mech powered and the various fuel types you can use throughout your megastructure-constructing journey.

Dyson Sphere Program Power Grid explained

InDyson Sphere Program, you need to harness energy of various kinds to power your factories. A power grid, at its core, is amazingly simple. All you need is:

How to make sure you’re producing enough power

Tips and Tricks

How to get set up

Research & Matrix Labs

Hydrogen & Oil setup

Logistics Stations

In a nutshell, click on a Tesla Tower every so often and make sure that percentage number is at 100%. If it isn’t, you need more power generators.

Types of Power Generators

There are a few different types of power-generating buildings in Dyson Sphere Program. You’ll unlock them in roughly this order, and each is more costly to produce than the last:

How to power your mech

Different fuel types will generate energy faster and keep you fuelled for longer, as you’ll see below.

Dyson Sphere Program Fuel Types

Until you reach the end-game of Dyson Sphere Program,the best fuel to burn in your mech is Energetic Graphite. Hydrogen is technically even better in terms of energy and speed, but Hydrogen only stacks up to 20, compared with Graphite’s 100, which means you’ll need to return and restock Hydrogen much more frequently than if you just used Graphite.

And with that, I’ll wrap up this introduction to energy grids, fuel types, and power in Dyson Sphere Program.
