Bulldozer

Bulldozer quickly paves an entire planet, adds painted guide lines, adjusts vein height, and can tear down existing factory machines.

Version 1.1.11 supports Dyson Sphere Program 0.10.34.28529 and BepInEx 5.4.17. It is an updated fork of the original work by Semar and JClark. Do not install it alongside another Bulldozer fork: they share the same plugin GUID and can create duplicate UI controls.

Back up your saves before using factory teardown, vein movement, or whole-planet terrain changes. Fast Delete is an experimental teardown optimization; disable it in the config if you encounter any inconsistency.

Features

• Cover a full planet or selected latitude range with foundation.
• Paint equators, tropics, meridians, poles, and configured regional markers.
• Preserve or remove vegetation, and raise or bury veins.
• Optionally consume foundation from inventory, local storage, and local logistics stations.
• Tear down factory machines, with options to retain stations or delete generated trash.

Non-cheaty soil-pile handling remains incomplete: foundation is deducted correctly, but soil-pile limits are not fully honored in every mode.

Installation

This mod requires xiaoye97-BepInEx 5.4.17.

Manual

Extract the package and place Bulldozer.dll in its own folder under BepInEx/plugins.

Mod manager

Development

Build with a .NET SDK:

dotnet restore .\Bulldozer.sln
dotnet build .\Bulldozer.sln -c Release --no-restore
