Star Sector Resource Spreadsheet Generator for Dyson Sphere Program

DSP Star Sector Resource Spreadsheet Generator is a mod for the Unity game Dyson Sphere Program developed by Youthcat Studio and published by Gamera Game. The game is available on here.

This mod generates a comma-seperated-values, csv, file containing all the resources on all the planets in all the star systems in the whole star sector. This mod is intended to be used as a planning tool.

What to know what tidally locked planets are around high-luminosity stars? Want to know what system has spinform stalagmite crystals, fractal silicon and crude oil to make particle broadband? This mod is for you.

Chinese support: The spreadsheet generation has been tested with Dyson Sphere Program configured for Chinese. The generated file is always in a UTF-8 encoding. If you want Chinese characters to appear correctly in your spreadsheet program, you need to open it using a UTF-8 encoding. This has been tested in OpenOffice Calc by selecting the character set "Unicode (UTF-8)".

Usage

Generation of the resource spreadsheet is triggered with a button click, by loading a save or by pausing the game.

The game does not keep all resource information loaded. So once spreadsheet generation is requested there is a delay until the.csv file is created. You can see the progress shown on the HUD button. It's been timed at 32 seconds for a 64-star system.

Config Settings

The configuration file is called greyhak.dysonsphereprogram.resourcespreadsheetgen.cfg. It is generated the first time you run the game with this mod installed. On Windows 10 it is located at

• If you installed manually: %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Steam\steamapps\common\Dyson Sphere Program\BepInEx\config\greyhak.dysonsphereprogram.resourcespreadsheetgen.cfg

This mod is also compatible with BepInEx.ConfigurationManager which provides an in-game GUI for changing the settings in real-time.

Settings include:

• Output Path: By default the spreadsheet is saved on Windows to DSP_Star_Sector_Resources_${seed}-${starCount}.csv to your Documents folder and on Linux to just DSP_Star_Sector_Resources_${seed}-${starCount}.csv. The spreadsheet output path can be changed by specifying a different path in this config file.
• Planet Loading and Unloading: By default this mod loads all planets. This is the only way to get all the planet resource data. When disabling this flag the spreadsheet will indicate "Unloaded" for all fields that are unavailable because …
