About this mod Author’s original text

Laplace Logistics Engine

Laplace is a read-only scientific operations deck for Dyson Sphere Program.

Press Ctrl+L to open it, then use the named on-screen tabs for live orbital, alignment,

logistics, illumination, power, material-flow, resource, Dyson-sphere, fleet,

dependency, and civilization-risk instruments.

The initial release observes DSP's own production-stat recording calls. Its

Harmony prefixes do not alter arguments or game state, and it writes no custom

save data. It establishes the observation layer before future

versions introduce forecasts, shipment reservations, dock congestion, and supply

contracts.

Version 0.3 adds first-use contextual tutorials, H to reopen help,

Shift+H to reset tutorial completion, three material-flow display modes,

U to toggle Technical and Plain Language modes, an alternate Alt+R

shortcut for Civilization Risk, and resolution-safe

window positioning. The small set of remaining shortcuts is configurable in BepInEx.

Hybrid mode is the default. Each instrument combines its readout with a live

signal board rather than leaving unused window space. The Alignment instrument

also estimates the time until each destination's next minimum-separation

flight window; this is an orbital planning heuristic, not vessel autopilot.

Laplace is read-only: it patches only DSP's production-stat recording calls,

does not alter their arguments or results, and writes no data into a save.

Build

dotnet build -c Release

Local development installation uses./scripts/install-local.sh. Set

LAPLACE_PROFILE_DIR to the target r2modman profile when needed.

Tested environment

Laplace owns the permanent BepInEx GUID

dev.h3llgoose.dsp.laplace-logistics.

The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
