Stars and planets: Difference between revisions

There are many types of stars and planets, each of which has their own advantage, and disatvantages in terms of gameplay value. This page is dedicated to catergorize all astronomical ojects and phenomenas, and describe them.  

When picking a star to construct a [[Dyson_Sphere|dyson sphere]] around, it's highly reccomended to do it around a star with the highest luminosity (L_☉), as many stars can have more than double (~2 L_☉) if not triple (~3 L_☉) the energy output than the starter system's star (~1 L_☉), which is much less time consuming, and more effective than building one or even two additional [[Dyson_Sphere|dyson spheres]] orbiting neighbouring stars.

! Name !! Description !! Image !! Surface view

| '''<big>Mediterranean planet<big>''' || Lush, tropical, and covered with oceans, they're abundant with basic ressources, this is the type of planet the player starts on. They're also a great source of [[Crude_Oil|crude oil]]. || ||

| '''<big>Lava planet<big>'''  || Inhospitable, covered with lava lakes, they usually contain [[Silicon_Ore|silicon ore]] and [[Titanium_Ore|titanium ore]]. ||[[File:Lava planet.png|150px|center]] ||[[File:Lava planet surface.png|150px|center]]

| '''<big>Ice giant<big>''' || One of the two versions the starter planet will orbit, they contain [[Hydrogen|hydrogen]] and is a great source of [[Fire_Ice]], material that is used to craft [[Graphene|graphene]]. || ||

| '''<big>Prairie planet<big>''' || Similar to mediterranean planets, they're habitable lush oceanic planets, has less oceans, and more grasslands. They're also a good source of [[Crude_Oil|crude oil]]. [[Organic_Crystal|Organic crystal veins]] can also be found there. ||  

[[File:Prairie planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Gobi desert planet<big>''' || Another planet fully devoid of any life or water, but does contain mountains, so they're a great source for [[Soil_Pile|soil piles]].||  

[[File:Gobi desert planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

|| '''<big>Ashen gelisol planet<big>''' || Similar to a gobi desert planet, it's fully devoid of anything, but this time a frozen one. ||  

[[File:Ashen gelisol planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Volcanic ash planet<big>''' || Similar to a lava planet, it's devoid of anything but volcanic activity, however, these planets are also a great source of [[Sulfuric_Acid|sulfuric acid]], and oceans of such are found around such planets.||  

[[File:Volcanic ash planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Arid desert<big>''' || Another desert planet, but compared to others, these planets are a great source for capturing [[Wind_Turbine|wind energy]]. ||  

[[File:Arid desert planet.png|150px|center]]

| '''<big>Ice planet<big>''' || Planets covered with ice, and may have pockets of water scattered around the surface, veins of [[Fire_Ice|fire ice]] can be found around such planets. Since they're usually far away from their orbiting star, and have no atmosphere, they're terrible sources for renewable energy, the use of [[Thermal_Power_Station|thermal power stations]] is reccomended. ||  

[[File:Ice planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

[[File:Ice planet surface.png|150px|center]]

| '''<big>Oceanic jungle planet<big>''' || Similar to mediterranean and prairie planets, they're lush planets, and they commonly contain sources of [[Spiniform_Stalagmite_Crystal|spiniform stalagmite crystals]], [[Crude_Oil|crude oil]], and [[Organic_Crystal|organic crystals]]. ||  

[[File:Jungle planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Oceanic planet<big>''' || almost entirelly covered with oceans, it's very impractical to construct any infrastructure on it. It's another source of [[Spiniform_Stalagmite_Crystal|spiniform stalagmite crystals]], but it's highly reccomended you bring [[Foundation|foundations]] and plenty of [[Soil_Pile|soil piles]] before you have anything to do with such planets. ||  

[[File:Ocean planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Red mushroom planet<big>''' || Similar to mediterranean planets, but the soil is more reddish, and the surface is covered with mushrooms. ||  

[[File:Red mushroom planet.png|150px|center]]

  ||  

| '''<big>Gas giant<big>''' || Gas giants are commonly found around the universe, and is a good source of [[Deuterium|deuterium]] by using [[Orbital_Collector|orbit collectors]]  || ||

| '''<big><big>''' ||  || ||

| '''<big><big>''' || || ||

| '''<big>Class M star<big>''' || The most abundant class of star is M, however, its luminosity is very low, making it very impractical to construct dyson spheres around them. || [[File:M type star.png|150px|M type star]]

| '''<big>Class K star<big>''' || || [[File:K type star.png|150px|K type star]]

| '''<big>Class G star<big>''' || || [[File:G type star.png|150px|G type star]]

| '''<big>Class F star<big>'''|| || [[File:F type star.png|150px|F type star]]

| '''<big>Class A star<big>'''|| || [[File:A type star.png|150px|A type star]]

| '''<big>Class B star<big>'''|| || [[File:B type star.png|150px|B type star]]

| '''<big>Class O star<big>'''|| The brightest star type, ideal for constructing [[Dyson_Sphere|dyson spheres]] around them. However, they also tend to be the largest, and so require more materials to do so. || [[File:O type star.png|150px|O type star]]

| '''<big>Giant star<big>'''|| Can be of any spectral class that main sequence stars belong to. Giants are >10R⊙ and have higher luminosity than their main sequence counterparts. Depending on spectral class, they are referred to as Red, Yellow, White and Blue giants. || [[File:Red giant.png|150px|Red giant]]

| '''<big>Neutron star<big>'''|| One of the rarest stars, [[Unipolar_Magnet#Used_In|unipolar magnets]] are commonly found on host planets orbiting such stars. || [[File:Neutron star.png|150px|Neutron star]]

| '''<big>White dwarf<big>'''|| || [[File:White dwarf.png|150px|White dwarf]]

| '''<big>Black hole<big>'''|| A dead star, it's the only other source of [[Unipolar_Magnet#Used_In|unipolar magnets]] aside from neutron stars. || [[File:Black hole.png|150px|Black hole]]

| '''<big>Tidal locking (TL)<big>''' || Planets that has the same rotational period as orbital period, and consequently has one side permanently facing its host star or planet. Very useful to capture the host star's energy via [[Solar_Panel|solar panels]] and/or [[Ray_Receiver|ray receivers]] ||

| '''<big>Sattelite (SAT)<big>''' || Astronomical objects that orbit another object that isn't a star, or in simpler terms, a moon. The starter planet is one example of such object. However, building [[EM-Rail_Ejector|EM-rail ejectors]] would be problematic, as the orbiting parent can block the sun, rendering them useless until the orbiting object passes, this decreases the time the [[EM-Rail_Ejector|EM-rail ejectors]] can fire sails, and decreases their effeciency. ||

| '''<big>Reverse Rotation (RR)<big>''' || The astronomical object in question rotates in the reverse direction, or clockwise when viewed from one of the poles.||

| '''<big>Horizontal Rotation (HR)<big>''' || The planet has an axial inclination close to 90° causing it to rotatate around a horizontal axis when viewed from the stellar poles. Still experiences seasons.||
