What Happens if You Detonate a Dyson Sphere? - Stellaris

in this short we use a star cracker on a Dyson sphere and see what happens

[isuckatusernames]

this will have grave impacts on the local space amoeba population

[Sarsenwood]

A normal colossus would be like a firecracker to a Dyson Sphere. That Star-Eater means business.

[jacktian]

This will dramatically effect the fishing market

[hoppy]

Gotta love the almighty cube that blows up stars

[svijj_]

Thought it would at least give us a destroyed Dyson Sphere you could repair if the crisis empire lost

[isrealieditz]

*the dyson sphere is destroyed*
The planets: without electricity there is no end and no will to live

[zanebrunes]

Well I have to try this. I'm blaming you for what happens next.

"Just a prank bro"

The prank:

[SomeoneWeDontKnow-ik]

this might slightly affect the economy

[wyatthy]

That makes my soul hurt so many resources down the drain

[ShiraIshikawa]

That cube is structurally stronger than a planet wtf

[MinhProjectManager]

This is what I've been thinking long time ago, what a Dyson Bomb be like, better start with a neutrino bomb then

[Kukzie]

This would kill a 12th century peasant

[prestonjones]

Interesting how rhe gas giants shatter like a rocky planet.

[ferenjianboard]

Creating a black hole like this would definitely destroy the star cracker and everything in the solar system. It's good that Stellaris doesn't have that realistic physics, else one would've needed to build 1 star cracker at a time. Makes me think a Nikol Dyson Sphere would've been a better candidate for the fireworks job.

[KaitokiNohara]

The strength of the explosion will be proportional to the amount of energy it stores, if it harnesses all the energy of the stat, it be equal to the explosion of star

[likeitfreaky]

i built around 2-3 dyson spheres around 2400, crisis’ empire destroyed all of them and it destroyed my run

[badpiggies]

This would affect the climates of local planets

[rhonynn]

Talk about scorched earth measures. That'd sting in multiplayer.

NGL. This very thing happened to me in a recent game with an AI empire who took the Crisis ascension perk. It’s a good thing my Trade network was pumping 3k worth of trade into my economy, cause watching that Death cube blow up my Sphere was heartbreaking and also low key terrifying. I sent everything I had after the death cubes after that.
