        They're gonna build a Dyson Sphere and put all the gamer-gulag to work welding together the frame.

          Dyson spheres would require so much energy and material to construct that to be able to build one you wouldn't need it in the first place. Dyson clusters are closer to doable

            Really though, you're right, the closest thing they'd ever be useful for is as stellar engines since you could theoretically make them have a lot more surface area on one side and they would slowly accelerate a star exerting pressure on the structure. So some kind of type 3 civilization could be moving stars around over millions of years.

      That video someone shared a couple weeks ago was pretty wild. The job recruiters reminded me of military recruiters from when I was a kid, but with much less lying and glorification of murder than I experienced.
