==Summary==
==Summary==
'''Titanium Ore''' is one of the core basic resources. Found somewhat commonly throughout the galaxy, it is prized for being light in weight and high in strength. It is used extensively for producing high-strength materials.


[[Solar Sail]]s are consumable items required to create a [[Dyson_Sphere#The_Dyson_Swarm|Dyson swarm]]. After the player has designed an orbit in the Dyson sphere editor, an [[EM-Rail Ejector]] can send Solar Sails into that orbit. The energy transmitted by Solar Sails can only be collected using a [[Ray Receiver]]. Additionally, once a [[Dyson Sphere#The Dyson Shell|Dyson shell]] is designed and enough [[Small Carrier Rocket|Small Carrier Rockets]] have been launched, Solar Sails will automatically integrate into the Dyson shell.
It is mined by the [[Mining Machine]].


Solar Sails have a limited lifespan of 5400s (1.5h). This can be upgraded to up to 9000s (2.5h) by researching the [[Solar_Sail_Life_(Upgrade)|Solar Sail Life]] upgrades. Once a Solar Sail becomes part of a Dyson shell, its lifespan becomes indefinite.
It is [[Smelter|smelted]] into [[Titanium Ingot]]s.
 
The energy generated by a Solar Sail depends on the star's luminosity. Unlike real life, the energy generated does ''not'' depend on the distance from the star. Around a star with a luminosity of 1.0, a single Solar Sail generates 36 kW. Each structure point in the Dyson shell yields 96 kW, and each solar cell yields ~15 kW of power (both multiplied by luminosity).
 
A single EM-Rail Ejector firing continuously can maintain a maximum of 1800 Solar Sails in orbit with their default lifespan of 5400s. Around a star with a luminosity of 1.0, this generates 64.8 MW.

Since Solar Sails have a limited lifespan, the power production of a Dyson swarm is dependent on the supply of new Solar Sails into orbit. If Solar Sails are not produced and launched faster than they expire, the swarm's power generation will decrease until it reaches 0.
* [[File:Titanium Node.png|frameless|100px]] Most starter planets will have singular Titanium nodes scattered around. Just walk the mecha around the planet until you find one, then, right-click on the node to gather around 20 Titanium Ore.
 
* Titanium Ore can also drop randomly in smaller quantities from any other rocks and pebbles on the starter planet.
If you want to produce a certain stable amount of power, you produce and launch a certain number of Solar Sails per minute. The equation to calculate this is:
* As it takes two Titanium Ore to produce each [[Titanium Ingot]], it can be advantageous to [[Smelter|smelt]] the ore where it is mined before passing the ingots to a [[Interstellar Logistics Station]] for transport, as this halves the required trips.
 
<code>Solar Sails Per Minute = ( Target Power ) / (Lifetime of Solar Sail * Star Luminosity * 600)</code>


For example, assume we want to produce 50MW (or 50,000,000 W) around a star with 0.75 luminosity, and without any Solar Sail Life upgrades. Therefore, we need '''(50,000,000) / (5400 * 0.75 * 600) = 20.57''' Solar Sails being produced and launched per minute, or about 1 per 3 seconds.
