Stellaris, not only do they have the Dyson they also have Ringworlds and Matter Decompressors. The Gigastructures mod add even more and let you get rid of the 1 Megastructure per Empire except Ringworlds which were already unlimited if you had the resources and systems available.
Lorn's Lure takes place in one, it has a great sense of scale
Outer wilds has "small scale" megastructures and it's great
>for all we know the universe is riddled with millions of ancient structures from millions of years ago built by alien species long lost
I feel like if an alien race was able to make it to the stage where they've built megastructures across a vast interstellar empire they probably unlocked the secrets of immortality or some kind of higher plane of existence or something so they'd probably still be around in some form or another and not actually dead. However there's probably remnants of various civilizations all over the galaxy.
more likely ruins of other civs, fermi paradox is sad

SETI is a very small percentage of time spent on radio telescopes.
When they hire the doctors and engineers that work on those radio telescopes, they usually grant them a small % of their telescope time on their own personal projects.
So if you were some post doc student who was writing a paper on pulsars, and you were stationed at one of these telescopes they'd give you an hour every week to get to scan a pulsar and get your data.
If you want telescope time otherwise you have to buy it.
no it isnt space is fake and gay
B.o.B. is also my favorite rapper
>chart doesn't explain the 40 days of night in the artic or the 40 days of constant sunlight
>also doesn't explain why seasons/day length are flipped between the north and south hemispheres
0/100
chart doesnt but its explained perfectly on the fe model in general, look into it brainlet
No, it is not. I have not once heard a suitable flat earther explanation for the phenomenon I've witnessed with my own eyes.
only phenomena you witnessed was my enourmos wiener in your throat homosexual
>can't even spell
flat earth is the near peak of solipsism so the obvious answer is those things don't exist because I haven't seen them
Bro the bronze age greeks not only proved the earth was round, but had a fair approximation of its size.
You can literally do the experiment yourself with a stick, a measuring tape, and knowing some highschool math.
Yeah, no shit, take a closer look at the image I replied to, it's flat earth nonsense
And what I am saying is replying to that shit means you're either dealing with a troll using stale bait, or an actual moron desperate for attention.
Either way, there is literally nothing to be gained by replying to them.
You can walk them down the garden path, explain all the ways your can demonstrably prove flat earth is wrong, and how it requires mountains of nonsense to account for any of the things you can see with your own two eyes, that eventually they just start screeching about da space joos.
>highschool math
israeli lies
>Pythagoras is israeli
Why are you so fricking stupid bro? I bet you cry about cultural genocide too.

I really thought it would end up coming out of Niko's ass.
I'm making one...
What crime did that lightbulb commit to be put in the gulag???
Don't trust your lying eyes goy, there were never any lamps here
The visual novel I'm working on takes place during heat death and features a 6 dimensional megastructure at least 191 million light years across. Too ridiculous?
Tell me more. I need to see more.
Out of curiosity, what's the premise?
It's a megastructure that never stops expanding and there's something called the administrator and then there's some spikey human bits and someone called chobit.
The vast majority of the structure is empty or uninhabitable. The last survivor societies are AI-led fascist states at best, but more often roving rape-gangs, pathetically corrupt confederacies, hardcore theocrats, or omnicidal death cults. They're all engaged in perpetual warfare over ideology and ancient unreplicatable technologies.
A large swathe of society are clones, with the player being a 'defective' thought criminal. They have to build alliances with other defectives and unreliable characters, in order to escape - whatever that ends up meaning.
what
Sounds quite fun
I can just imagine them finally escaping outside of the mega structure by some miraculous means and flying away, only to see that the structure simply keeps expanding like it always did and said expansion is faster than the speed at which they're traveling
Would make for some fun dready ending, with them being quite literarily swallowed back by it
That is delightfully miserable.
Don't be a tease, anon. Now you gotta at least say something about it.
Red hypergiant sized sphere capable of creating temporary copies of itself in every single one of the infinite universes.
The sphere (and all its copies) fire a beam at the closest supermassive black hole which excites all other black holes in that universe to emit a spherical, faster-than-light pulse capable of instantly erasing a targeted species; effecively removing them from existence across all universes.
The species that created it is long dead after they shoah'd themselves by firing it when it wasn't ready to kill an even larger threat.
The construct is energetic enough that it's vented matter has created a large, violent nebula around it, essentially blocking it from being discovered by anything that can't directly go into the nebula.
In canon, it was only discovered by pure accident because someone lucked out and found the only safe route through the storms.
There's a bunch of story I've built around oit but it'd take me ages to put it into writing and I'm gonna go to bed. If there's a similar thread up tomorrow I'll put the outline down.
Nice, that's the good stuff. Cool superweapon idea, like a more intelligent Halo. The mystery involved is good too, makes me wonder why something like that would ever need to be built.
The idea basically came from "I want a halo-like precursor race for my larp universe but I want to mog halo in powerlevel for the big gun"
Over time it's become a lot more unique and fleshed out compared to halo, the only real similarity now is "old race kills themselves by firing weapon".
The universe itself is incredibly detailed to the point of halo or GoT because whenever I'm bored I add to it and have been for like 5 or 6 years.
I can relate
basically comes from a (childish) impulse of "what would be the final extrapolation of 'Blame!', with a bit more drama potential?".
Like you, I've given given a thought to superweapons. There must be something in the zeitgeist. Canonically, the entire universe is actually a computer simulation. Most high level technology involves abusing that fact, such as teleportation being a result of rapidly iterating on the floating point precision loss of the transform values of an atom. The ultimate technology everyone is fighting over effectively performs arbitrary code execution to make the user remanifest the universe however they want, without limitation. Like Forerunners, the creators offed themselves, but it was more in fear of the truly horrible nightmare realities their device could inflict.
Outside of dismantling the solar system for materials, I recall a throwaway line somewhere saying it's mined from another dimension.
>Tell me more. I need to see more.
There's really not much done yet, it's just me and my buddy making 3d models and tools for designing megastructure levels, no actual locations yet. Then we'll try to make a small demo and maybe try to get some help from outside or someshit. We're trying to make a postsoviet dilapidated city setting, similar to Manhunt
Based, I have an autistically detailed headcanon universe (that I will never be able to put down anywhere) that has a similarly ridiculous but for different reasons megastructure.
That doesn't look very big
It is, it's just hard to wrap your head around it so it looks small from the lack of complex comprehension on our side
seems really annoying to have to replace caged lightbulbs in a megastructure
I thought about making one.
Problem was, what where you gonna do? Walk a couple of AU? look into the distance? I tried using references from Blame as well to build the environment but best case scenario was design something that look like a huge building with no real windows.
Alternatively, go play E.Y.E. and walk pointless corridors for 10 minutes straight to get to nowhere.
The City is the wildest setting in fiction. It's so much mass that it needs gravity vents to stop it from collapsing into a supermassive blackhole. Single rooms the size of planets. Elevator rides that take months. A quintillion people could live inside it, and it would still feel like an empty apocalyptic landscape. It's the only one in which the GBE makes sense.
what setting is the City from?
read the filename or google image search
Blame!
You should read matter by ian m banks. It's set on an artificial shellworld planet

That thing would be so much better if it least had generic grungy concrete textures plastered everywhere. As it is, it looks too abstract. Still unrivaled though as there's no more games centered around megastructures
Homeworld 2.
>You mothership is a couple of kilometers tall
>One of the maps' skyboxes is inside the husk of another destroyed construction.
Hard to make compelling gameplay around megastructures. Their size works against them.
thats wrong, the size works for them. thats hat makes em megaa
The one based on BLAME
But there aren't any
i remember there was some japanese fan game that was based on blame years ago
Some guy had been working on a unity project that looked pretty compelling but it's been long since abandoned :^(
I think the op pic is from that project
there is, NaissanceE, it captures the atmosphere of the blame! megastructure prettry well, specially the second half of the game
Yes
there's echo but it's pretty shit
NaissanceE is goat tho
That look great
well, those were some fun 40 minutes, got all crystals but couldn't find all stations, hope it ships soon
comfy
Star Trek a final unity.
Didn't killy have a human at that start of the manga with the netgene who died?
>he believes the space hoax
I believe in the "space is a hoax" hoax, designed to demoralize white people into babysitting browns and giving money to israelites forever instead
israelite games were the megastructures all along
Then you're a fool, why would any israelite be telling the truth whatsoever, unless they were blatantly anti-israelite themselves, which does happen and is a massive crime, they're considered even worse than Goyim when they do that.
Keep looking at the painted skybox and thinking it's a world, when it reality there's more worlds underneath us, and further south, and above the Skybox, but not a single one of them has anything resemblance to space, and all of them are actually in reach.
>and above the Skybox
So what you're saying is they're out there some space away?
If only we had a handy term for that sort of thing.
Nah above the Skybox is heaven, which has nothing to do with space whatsoever, it's also a physical realm, whatever is above heaven tho, who knows, prob aint space tho, considering heaven was BUILT in a physical realm.
how do you know all that
The fact this might not be satire is really fricking sad no cap fr.

>no procedurally generated megastructure game
The vastness of space and the insignificance of humanity beside it always makes for a kino setting.
This is unrealistic. Where would the material to continue building even come from?
>Want to see if any games have megastructures
>Actual morons flood in and ruin it
Dyson Sphere Program is all about building one. It's very good despite the engrish.
Also Stellaris

I don't need to tell you to sit through the whole thing because I know you will anyway.
i too am making a blame! inspired megastructure game. mine's a third person exploration and combat focused RPG and will feature procedurally generated m'structures.
Goodspeed. But finish your damned fantasy game first!
destiny/2 is full of them
depending on how you define it the vex have galaxy spanning supercomputers.
sounds to me like they're ripping off hyperion
like from borderlands?
some of the earlier concepts looked more hyperion like but they changed it
>Planetgrater
Dann Symon's book?
who?
yes it literally eats planets(well moons and other smaller celestial bodies but it can eat a planet it just takes longer) it is modeled after the massive creature of the same name as the ship that would crawl over the cabals home world eating everything in its path (im sure there are many dune references here)
Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
If you pretend to be moronic for long enough, then you're not pretending anymore.
