You don't want to make too many assumptions about where a civilization that can construct things mesuring several AU and harness yotawatts of power find habitable.



My though was that if they can create a swarm like that, they can also partially shade the earth to cool it. This would only work in the partial scenario which has 3 degrees C warming. 140 degrees for capturing all of the suns output is huge.


Yes just move the Earth out a bit, or add a shade. Tbh it is just as likly they are silicon based and don't give a monkeys about 140 degrees.


They could just live in the sphere.
