In this guide we will discuss how to put together blueprints for production lines that can produce and launch 1.2k proliferated small carrier rockets per minute. We will first look at all of the required production lines and then discuss some of the key production lines. Finally, we will look at how to launch all of these small carrier rockets to build a Dyson Sphere.

If you are just here for the blueprints, here they are:

You will first want to have build the production lines for the proliferator, there is a guide and blueprints for that available here: https://auluftwaffles.com/2022/01/22/mk-i-mk-ii-and-mk-iii-proliferator-blueprint-and-spray-coater-dyson-sphere-program/

You will also want to put together scaled and proliferated solar sail production lines, here is a guide for that: https://auluftwaffles.com/2022/02/05/proliferated-solar-sail-scaled-and-piled-stacked-production-line-blueprints-in-dyson-sphere-program/

I usually separate production lines to dedicated planets for smelting, chemistry and assembling. This means that only certain buildings are needed on that planet and all of the production lines are quite similar. All of our production lines are quite similar where they take some input lines, where we will assume that all the technologies for piling items 4 high have been unlocked, and then have to combine single piled output lines into 4 piled output lines to be fed into a transportation station. I usually do this using 4 segmented production lines where each segment produces enough output to fill up a Mk.III conveyor belt (30 items per second). These are then fed into a pillar and drawn to the front of the production lines. That is where splitters and Automatic Pilers are used to produce a single full conveyor belt stacked 4 items high. All of the input and output conveyor belts are then fed through a spray coater using Mk.III proliferator. The key question for each production line is:

• How many of the input lines can be shared
• Can the output line be shared
• How many machines does it take to produce 30 items per second to fill up a single piled Mk.III conveyor

The blueprints above have been designed to accomplish all of these. 3 of them can be placed next to each other in the sections of the planet on either side of the equator. They tend to be quite long although each one usually can produce in the tens of thousands of items per minute so not many of each of the blueprints are needed. I usually figure out how many of each blueprint I need by creating and resolving bottlenecks by placing down the blueprints producing the output that I want and then resolving any bottlenecks for the input belts.

The last step is to use Vertical Launch Sites to launch the 1.2k small carrier rockets. The blueprint above includes a compact line of small carrier rockets that use sorters to pass the small carrier rockets to each other. The proliferated small carrier rockets cut the launch time in half allowing each vertical launch silo to launch twice as many small carrier rockets. Be sure to have plenty of power available using, for example, artificial stars and also be sure to bury any ore veins and cover up any water or other holes in the ground. Unlike the EM Rail Ejectors it doesn’t matter how close the planet is to the Dyson Sphere as the rockets will just travel to where they are needed.
