DSP TaskMaster

An in-game task list for Dyson Sphere Program. Write down what you still have to do, or let TaskMaster track it for you: production targets, surplus, inventory, research, buildings and Dyson sphere power are checked live and ticked off automatically once they are reached.

Press Alt + T to open the task window.

Features

Task types

Type	What it tracks
Reminder	A plain note you tick off yourself.
Produce /min	Machine capacity for an item per minute (e.g. 120 Titanium Glass/min).
Surplus /min	Made minus used per minute during the last minute, so you know you actually have spare output.
In inventory	Amount of an item in your inventory.
Research	Done when the technology is unlocked. Searchable list of what's left to research.
Buildings	Number of placed buildings of a type, on this planet or on all planets.
Sphere	Power (MW) the Dyson sphere and swarm around a star generate.

Add tracked tasks with Track..., reminders with the text field at the bottom of the window. Items and buildings can be picked with the game's own item picker.

Per planet or global

Every planet has its own task list, shown for the planet you are on, plus a Global list for tasks that aren't tied to one place. Choose Planet or Global in the window header when adding a task; inventory, research and sphere tasks always go to the Global list.

The Planets panel lists all planets with open tasks, grouped by star system. View another planet's list from there, or set it as the navigation target just like in the game's control panel.

Why is it behind?

Click a production task to see what's going on:

• how many machines are working, waiting for input, have a full output, lack power or ore
• which inputs the recipe needs at your target rate, and whether they are made or imported
• how many buildings you need for the target, for the item and each of its inputs
• a suggested setup (recipe and building) when nothing makes the item on the planet yet

Surplus tasks show which planets make and use the item.

Overlay and alerts

While the window is closed, a small overlay at the screen edge shows your open tasks with their progress. Drag it by its header to move it, click it to open the window.

An on-screen message tells you when a task reaches its target, and optionally when a production task falls behind again.

Saving

Tasks are stored per save game through DSPModSave, in a .moddsv file next to the save. Your normal save files are not changed, so removing the mod is safe.

Settings

Found in BepInEx/config/com.jules.dsp.taskmaster.cfg (or the config editor of your mod manager):

Section	Setting	Default	Description
Alerts	Enabled	true	Show a message when a tracked task reaches its target.
Alerts	Behind	true	Also alert when a production task falls behind or drops below its target.
Overlay	Enabled	true	Show the overlay of open tasks while the window is closed.
Overlay	X / Y	0 / 0	Overlay position. 0 / 0 = default position.
Window	X / Y / Width / Height	0	Window position and size. Set Width to 0 to reset.

Window and overlay position are also saved when you move or resize them in game.

Installation

Install with r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager; BepInEx and DSPModSave are installed automatically.

For a manual install, put DSPTaskMaster.dll into BepInEx/plugins and install BepInEx and DSPModSave.
