Idle Dyson Swarm

Idle Dyson Swarm is an incremental game about building automated production networks, scaling facilities and progressing through increasingly large structures. You begin by producing bots and generating science, then connect facilities into production chains that grow exponentially. The game supports both offline progress and active play, where you can optimize production, plan prestige timing and develop skill builds.

Build your network

Build Assembly Lines, deploy AI Managers, establish Data Centers and colonize Planets. Each facility feeds into the next. You can also unlock three mega-structures: Matrioshka Brains, which consume entire planets for stellar-scale computing; Birch Planets, supermassive planetary shells; and Galactic Brains, which require mastery of multiple mega-structure types at once.

The game has six facility types, including the three mega-structures, and 11 Research Technologies with repeatable upgrades. You can gradually unlock auto-buy features for research, bots and facilities.

Prestige systems

When your facilities reach their limits, you can prestige through three systems, each with its own progression:

• Infinity: reset a run to earn Infinity Points, unlock Secrets of the Universe and gain permanent facility multipliers.
• Quantum Leap: convert Infinity Points into Quantum Points to unlock automation, bot multitasking, access to mega-structures and meta-upgrades that change how you play.
• Reality: generate Workers to produce Influence, manipulate the fabric of the universe and extend progression further.

There are 27 Secrets of the Universe, which grant permanent multipliers.

Skills and specializations

A branching skill tree has over 100 skills, with choices that involve trade-offs. Specialization paths include Purity, Terra, Power, Paragade and Stellar, among others. Some exclusive skills prevent you from choosing alternatives, so your build affects your approach. Banking mechanics let you save skill points across runs, while refundable and permanent upgrades support both short-term and long-term strategies.

Dream 1

Dream 1 is a separate progression loop in which you guide a civilization from primitive hunters to spacefaring engineers. Progress through the Foundational Era and Information Era, and encounter prestige events including Meteor Storms, AI Risk, Global Warming and Black Holes. You earn Strange Matter to permanently boost progress in the main game. The simulation has its own eras, buildings and prestige mechanics.
