Mega Structures build time

[VoodooDog]

every stage of a dyson sphere takes like 1400days eg ~4years?
so how many stages are there?

i would love to see them taking at least 20-30 years to complete, but i doupt this will happen in the vanilla game.
it would give them a more epic and monumental flavour, dont you think?

just my 2 cents.

If there was enough content in a playthrough to keep it interesting and balanced (have heard repeatable techs make things crazy eventually) i wouldn't mind super long playthroughs where the mega structures take a good century.

Terraforming takes anywhere from 5 years (same group) to 40 years (Gaia creation), I'd expect megastructures to take similar amounts of time per stage. So a 4-stage Dyson Sphere, with at least 10-20 years per stage, would be 40-80 years. Anything shorter than a few decades is way too short regardless.
Where'd you get 1400 days per stage? I haven't seen any info like that anywhere.

Would have been the screenshots provided so far, showing it takes that amount of time for that particular stage.

Dev says all numbers is not final yet

It's probably so short for testing purposes. I'd expect 20-40 years total (5-10 per stage)

I aggree with you, I'm positive that with the traditions and the Ascencion perks the terraforming time will be cut drastically, so it would make sense that Megastructures would take about this time to build, after all, you need ascencion perks to even unlock them.

wiz, can we get your thoughts on the matter?

so as of now it is like 50k minerals and ~20years building time to finish the sphere.

i think there is no chance for it take longer because of gameplay over realistic reasons?
