Keep early ore lines separate
Iron and copper feed different production chains, so smelt and route them independently as the starting factory grows.
Dyson Sphere Program FARMING GUIDESKnow what to farm.
Know what to farm.
And where to go.
Dyson Sphere Program resource farming develops from hand mining into automated interstellar logistics. Veins are depleted as miners extract ore, so expand to new deposits and use logistics stations to move materials. Gas giants and rare veins provide specialized inputs. Research drives access to better machines, ships and Dyson Sphere construction.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Power the whole outpost
A remote mine needs power at its miners and logistics station; set the source to Remote Supply and the receiving station to Remote Demand.
Sources & fact checks
Check gates before distant routes
Interstellar vessel warp deliveries require Logistics Carrier Engine Level 4 and warpers supplied to stations, so confirm those before relying on a long route.

Farm with a purpose
Prioritizes immediate resource needs and useful production routes, then progression systems and longer-term factory scaling.
