Thanks to civfanatics on Mastadon .

The devs of Dyson Sphere Program just updated their game's multithreading backend, and wrote two long blogposts about the details and testing, it's pretty nice to get a rare look behind the curtain. (store.steampowered.com)

There's a newer post as well that follows up on that first one from June. I'm not super technically versed in things like CPU scheduling but I really like that they shared these posts.

I haven't played DSP in about a year but these guys have definitely caught lighting in a bottle with this concept. If you've played this game, you know how crazy that feeling of finally being able to lift off and just... have the full expanse of outer space open in front of you is.

Dwarves have been associated with mining and crafting since the time of their inception, so Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor has them doing it in space. The premise is simple: you pick one of several kinds of dwarf specialists, travel to a mining site on an alien planet, and try to mine as many valuable minerals as you can.
