There aren't enough Dyson Trees in Science Fiction.
I can't believe Dan Simmon's Hyperion was the first time I heard of this concept.
It's a tree that's a space ship. A space ship that is a tree. It's the most delicious idea! Where is it?
It's called Dyson after Feeman J. Dyson, a mathematician and physicist, who also thought up the Dyson Sphere. A concept I'm sure many are familiar with. (There's also the O'Neill Cylinder, that colony thing at the end of Interstellar)
A Dyson Tree is a construct where a plant grows inside a comet or asteroid or something and produces it's own atmosphere. With a human crew it could easily be envisioned as a system where humans produce CO2 and the plant produces oxygen. Slap on some thrusters and you have a space ship. Some artificial gravity and you have a tree instead of a bush.
Tree houses! In space!
And it's not just some fancy scifi nonsense, oh no! An actual nerd thought of this!

I don't think Factorio is good.
That must come as a shock to the many fans that this game has. I know how much effort went into polishing it, how much thought was spent trying to perfect it. But I simply don't like it.
The issue I have with it, and that I also have with other games such Satisfactory or DSP, is that it gets stale. So stale. I cannot finish these games, I often don't even make it out of the mid-game.
I'm not sure why people like these games to be honest. Building belts and machines can only interest me for so long. After the 200th furnace I am spent mentally. It requires so much manual mental labor to sit there and do the same thing over-and-over again that my brain melts. It simply refuses. I get headaches and I stop: and I usually never pick it back up again.
It is in fact quite sad how neither satisfactory nor DSP seem able to effectively innovate upon the foundation of factorio in any meaningful way. Yes the third dimension is fun, but it does not fix it. It simply delays the inevitable.
In satisfactory I was genuinely saddened by the lack of anything new. I'd say that the beginning game of manually fueling Bio-reactors is even worse than factorio's mis-paced mess of a beginning, because its simply even more repetitive labor. But not even DSP is safe from this. The idea of having to walk and fly slower until you can develop tech that allows you to magically walk a meter per second quicker is tedious. In addition to the issues factorio poses, It is what kills these games for me.
So why has nobody fixed it? I think its very much a solvable issue. The features that are tedious are right there, out in the open. Simply salivating to be improved upon. Yet I think I've only found one project to have actually attempted to fix it.
That game is Minecraft. Now, hold on. Not just Minecraft. As fun as it is, its definitely no factory management game. But what makes it that is a mod for it called 'Create'. Despite the uninspired name this mod does what these other three games could not. It engages the player with innovative, actual third dimensional gameplay, unlike whatever garbage the other games have done, and does so while smoothly integrating minecraft within it. Nothing about it is repetitive in my mind. Every thing has a different way of being done, and different blocks required to do it.
I have spent 100+ hours on each of my two bases, having created factories that created everything for me and did so speedily. If you like the inherent puzzle-ness of factorio, and you want a fresh take on automation, please play this mod.
To give you a sneak-peek of what this mod does, I tell you only this: It adds rails with trains, it adds moving contraptions that can engage with the world, and it has many integrations with other mods.
It'd be an understatement to say that it keeps you engaged. It keeps you hooked, chained to the factory until your game runs out of frames.
It is a genuine 10/10.

They need to make a whole series about a small group of Starfleet officers or civilian scientists in a tiny science ship investigating the UNCOMPREHENDABLY ENOURMOUS Dyson Sphere from "Relics"
Think Ringworld meets Lost
Yes I know the Sphere from "Relics" was unstable, maybe they find another one. There was one in a TOS novel too but it fell into a black hole.
Who built it?
Where did they go and why?
Who else may have found the Sphere and made a home there?
Endless forests, cities, sewers, hi-tech places, impossible vistas done on their VR screens. Even if it's not a Trek show, the concept is too good to be a B-plot in an episode then never mentioned again!

Starmaster 5000
Looking for a convenient remote for your Dyson Sphere? Well here is the Starmaster 5000. With a quantum display of your harvest star, the Starmaster gives you the control you need in a simple sleek design. It comes with a special rest so it won't be lost during a critical energy harvest. It's small enough to be worn as a stylish accessory at the next planetary council meeting.
===========================
I love creating a back story for my designs. I often don't know which comes first - the design or fantasy around the design. I have been wanting to create a piece referencing a Dyson Sphere concept so I suppose it's been rattling around my brain for awhile now.
I've been very busy creating a line of designs I call "panels". Basically they all start with a simple rectangle of wood, that I stain, before embellishing it with an array of bits and pieces. I imagine a classic "mad scientist" laboratory and visualize the equipment, experiments and instruments within it.
They can all be worn as pendants but they are also miniature works of art. To that end, I've made stands so they can be displayed when not being worn. I'd love for them to become collectables. Each panel will come with a standard chain. The battery (CR 2032) is on the back with a small switch to turn the "star" on.
This piece has a glass dome as the main feature. Within it I've used resin to simulate a star sitting in a nebula. The LED is tiny but very bright. The wires are finer than a strand of hair so the "gas cloud" hides them well. This design is classic Art Deco - simple, uncluttered, geometrical.
The stand is embellished a bit too much for the Deco style but I did want it to look like a stylised star field. There are three control knobs in gold, silver and copper. The "antenna" is telescoped tubing also featuring the three different metal tones. On the top is a gold geometric semicircle stamp. It has "handles" on the sides with gold tone "rivetted" struts around the panel. There are two gold tone rings to attach or thread, the chain through.
