Dyson Swarm

[Sammy]

Is there a limit on how many you can have? It doesn't seem to say anywhere on the UI what the cap is.

[Kufesska]

base limit is 0(same for Arc Furnace)
Dyson Swarm tech gives you +3(literally written on it)
Mega-engineering gives you +2 more for Dyson Swarm and Arc Furnace(written on tech too)

The limit is actually on how many you can build yourself.

So you can conquer any number from other empires, and there are ruined ones ready to be repaired as well.

Because there is no ingame way of tracking these, i'd recommend this mod

Also helps to find the best owned system to build them.

question: enemy built 5 Dyson Swarms, you conquered 1 of them
can enemy build 1 more? can you repeat infinitely?

In theory, yes but practically your enemy will run out of system

To my knowledge: You cannot. The build limit is permanent, same like with the unique multi-stage megastructures.

You also cannot e.g. build a new Dyson Swarm after upgrading one to a Dyson Sphere.

" If an empire loses a limited megastructure, it cannot build another of that type."

oh, interesting
but that would probably be a cheat. yeah

[Elitewrecker PT]

Was that changed? because i could swear you could rebuild the other limited megas if you lost them before.

need to be tested
