Summary

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 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 spheres orbiting neighbouring stars.

Types of planets

Name Description Image
Mediterranean planet Lush, tropical, and covered with oceans, they're abundant with basic ressources, this is the type of planet the player starts on.
Lava planet Inhospitable, covered with lava lakes, they usually contain silicon ore and titanium ore.
Ice giant One of the two versions the starter planet will orbit, they contain hydrogen and is a great source of Fire_Ice, material that is used to craft graphene.

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


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. Example
Class K star
Class G star
Class F star
Class A star
Class B star
Class O star The brightest star type, ideal for constructing dyson spheres around them
Neutron star One of the rarest stars, unipolar magnets are commonly found on host planets orbiting such stars.
White dwarf
Black hole A dead star, it's the only other source of unipolar magnets aside from neutron stars.
