==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.
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
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==
[https://www.reddit.com/r/Dyson_Sphere_Program/comments/lc8q7p/for_reference_continuous_grid_band_sizes/ According to this reddit post], all terrestrial planets appear to follow the same grid layout:
<nowiki>
Pole (1x1)
3x20
4x40
4x80
4x100
9x160
9x200
14x300
14x400
24x500
24x600
49x800
80x1000
Equator (1x1000)
</nowiki>
When building on a seam between the different bands, buildings will snap to the band closest to the equator.

! 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>Barren planet<big>''' ||Similar to the moon, its surface is covered with craters, since there's no atmosphere, [[Wind_Turbine|wind turbines]] are useless, there are no oceans either, but it has the biggest construction area, and can be a decent source for [[Soil_Pile|soil piles]].  ||[[File:Barren planet.png|150px|center]] || [[File:Barren planet surface.png|150px|center]]
|-
| '''<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]]
||
[[File:Prairie planet surface.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]].||

| '''<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. ||

==State of stellar objects==
Planets can have multiple physical attributes and states, which are listed below.
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|+
|-
! Name !! Description !! Image
|-
| '''<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.||
