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<sub>☉</sub>), as many stars can have more than double (~2 L<sub>☉</sub>) if not triple (~3 L<sub>☉</sub>) the energy output than the starter system's star (~1 L<sub>☉</sub>), which is much less time consuming, and more effective than building one or even two additional [[Dyson_Sphere|dyson spheres]] orbiting neighbouring stars.

Summary

There are many types of stars and planets, each of which has their own advantage, and disadvantages in terms of gameplay value. This page is dedicated to categorize all astronomical objects and phenomena, and describe them.

When picking a star to construct a dyson sphere around, it's highly recommended 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 spheres orbiting neighboring stars.

Some rare veins and ores can only be found on certain types of planets, but on the other hand, it can also be impossible for those materials to naturally occur in other planets.

Types of planets

According to this reddit post, all terrestrial planets appear to follow the same grid layout:

    5x20 (Including the pole, forms a 9 diameter disk around the pole)
    5x40
    5x80
    5x100
    10x160
    10x200
    15x300
    15x400
    25x500
    25x600
    50x800
    80x1000
    Equator (1x1000)
    

When building on a seam between the different bands, buildings will snap to the band closest to the equator.

Ice planet Planets covered with ice, and may have pockets of water scattered around the surface, veins of 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 stations is recommended.

Oceanic jungle planet Similar to Mediterranean and Prairie planets, they're lush planets, and they commonly contain sources of spiniform stalagmite crystals, crude oil, and organic crystals.

Oceanic planet almost entirelly covered with oceans, it's very impractical to construct any infrastructure on it. It's another source of spiniform stalagmite crystals, but it's highly recommended you bring foundations and plenty of soil piles before you have anything to do with such planets.

Stellar objects

Name Description Image
Class M star The most abundant class of star is M, however, its luminosity is very low, making it very impractical to construct dyson spheres around them. M type star
Class K star K type star
Class G star G type star
Class F star F type star
Class A star A type star
Class B star B type star
Class O star The brightest star type, ideal for constructing dyson spheres around them. However, they also tend to be the largest, and so require more materials to do so. O type star
Giant star 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. Red giant
Neutron star One of the rarest stars, unipolar magnets are commonly found on host planets orbiting such stars. Neutron star
White dwarf White dwarf
Black hole A dead star, it's the only other source of unipolar magnets aside from neutron stars. Black hole

State of stellar objects

Planets can have multiple physical attributes and states, which are listed below.

Name Description Image
Tidal locking (TL) 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 panels and/or ray receivers
Sattelite (SAT) 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 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 ejectors can fire sails, and decreases their effeciency.
Reverse Rotation (RR) The astronomical object in question rotates in the reverse direction, or clockwise when viewed from one of the poles.
Horizontal Rotation (HR) 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.
