Lochenspace: /* Trivia */

Stars are the center of any Star [[System]]. They are titanic spheres of churning, scorching plasma, and in their cores they fuse atoms together to hold back implosion. In Starmade stars range in a variety of colors and sizes, are orbited by a diversity of [[Planet|planets]], [[asteroid]] fields, [[Shop|shops]], and [[Space Station|space stations]], and in very rare cases a system can be generated with a binary star system, with two suns instead of one.

[[File:StarmadeStarBinary.png|600x300px|thumb|right|A rare sight of a binary system, with a white star and a yellow star.]]

<br />

== Appearance ==
A star appears to be a bright point of light, emitting a lens flare and lighting to any rendered planets, even if they aren't in the same system. If bloom is enabled in the game settings, the star will appear with large, often blinding rays that create cinematically beautiful scenes.

=== Types of Stars ===
Currently there are only two kinds of stars in Starmade, dwarf stars and giant stars. They exist in an array of colors, ranging through red, yellow, white, and blue. The only difference that impacts the player is the size of the star's "kill zone," which changes with the star's size and color.

== Behavior ==
The star itself is a light-source and the player can simply fly through it. However, should a player fly within a star's range the star will exert extreme heat on the player and its ship, and if the player does not act quickly the player and their ship will be vaporized.

== Trivia ==
*Unlike planets, stars cannot be destroyed or interacted with in any way by the player, other than the star burning the player if they stray too close.
*Some asteroids orbit close enough to their stars that players can take heat damage, but the player will be safe if they hide on the night side of the asteroid. They shouldn't stay too long, however, as the asteroid will eventually leave the player behind, and the player may be killed.
*Stars exist in two main classes as of now: dwarfs and giants. There are no major differences between the two other than their sprites in the galaxy map.
*In the rare instance of a binary star system, one star will be given a name based on the star name generator, while the other star will actually be named "Void." The reason behind this is that when the player hovers the mouse over the Void star they are hovering over a "void system," which contains no stars, planets, etc. It is unclear whether or not the name is a bug or intentional.
*In Starmade, binary systems are extremely uncommon and hard to find. In the real universe, however, binary star systems actually make up more than 80% of all stars.

A galaxy is a colossal structure of billions of stars, planets, asteroids, and other celestial objects. In Starmade they contain hundreds of stars and planets, with a few wormholes. If a player enables "other galaxies visible in map" they will see many other galaxies, but even with warp drives they are extremely difficult to reach.

Planet

2017-12-06T00:53:13Z

Lochenspace: /* Upcoming Features */

{{stub}}
'''Planets''' are large celestial objects in StarMade that populate the universe and are often used as bases of operations for players.
[[File:TerranPlanetSmall.png|frame|right|A terran planet from space.]]

==Overview==
Planets are massive [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron Dodecahedron] shaped entities that will only spawn in [[System|star systems]]. Systems with purple orbits usually, but not always, indicates the existence of a planet. All planets, no matter how big, will occupy their own sector. This sector uniquely rotates around the planet in order to simulate a day and night cycle. Planetary surfaces are made up of 12 pentagonal plates. Depending on the size of the planet each plate could contain anywhere from hundred of thousands to millions of blocks. Every plate is centered around a molten core, the churning mass that keeps the planet together.

Planets come in a variety of sizes. Each is generated with a random median radius which directly determines the size of every one of its plates. This radius is displayed as an "R" followed by a set of numbers (ex. R236). You can see this on a planet's name plate by selecting the planet using the {{K|select targeted entity}} key. The larger the number the larger the planet. Theoretically this can be set as high as you like through the main menu, but will become much harder on performance if made larger.

Functionally planets act as pre-generated [[Space Station]]s. All station specific blocks can be placed on planets as well as allowing players to use planets as their home bases. If a player wishes to claim a planet for their faction, then they will need to place one [[Faction Module]] down on any plate and claim it. Once one plate has been claimed, all plates are claimed. If a player were to make a planet their home base, all plates will benefit from the invulnerability. Power and Shielding unfortunately '''do not''' transfer between plates.

===Resources===
Planets are an extremely good source of resources. When a planet spawns it will randomly pick 2 resources, either ore and/or crystal, to seed into each of its plates. Due to the massive number of blocks that compose a planet there is upwards of hundreds of thousands of units of resources depending on size. The more massive the planet the more resources it likely has. This can also stack with a factions 12x mining bonus if the player owns the star system.

Normal ship mounted [[Salvage Computer|salvage systems]] will suffice, however one should take caution when mass mining a planet. Massive mining arrays will likely harvest hundreds of blocks a second and because of this it can cause massive slow downs for the game. When massive amounts of blocks are being harvested at once the framerate can dramatically drop even to single digits depending on your computer specs.

===Gravity===
Planets are unique in the way that they generate their own gravity. Any entity that flies too close to a planet's surface will become trapped in its gravity well and fall into it. This gravity is generated on a per plate basis, each plate has its own gravity well that contributes to the entire planetary well.

Much like real life it is harder to escape a planets gravity then it is to enter it. The distance of a planets gravity well is based on the maximum height of its plates. The tallest plate on the planet will generate the maximum distance the gravity well extends outward. Thankfully this distance is preset when a planet generates and will not be affected by any structures that are built on the planet.

===Destruction===
While very difficult to do so planets can be destroyed. A planet is destroyed when its molten core has had its HP depleted. By default, all planets have 10,000,000 Hit Points but have an extremely fast healing rate. Damage is only registered if weapon fire hits the core; damage to individual plates does not count towards the planet's HP and only destroys blocks.

When the core has run out of HP then the planet will explode, causing all of its plates to be jettisoned into space. After a while each plate will slow down and become artificial "islands" in space. Even though they are no longer attached to a planet, planet plates still retain their gravitational pull. While in this state the plate effectively becomes a natural space station and can be faction claimed.

==Types of Planets==
*[[Terran Planet]] - Green Verdant Earth-like worlds. These planets are covered in trees and flowers while the landscape is dotted with large mountains and deep valleys.
*[[Red Planet]] - Hellish burnt worlds. These planets are very Mars-like and are covered in fungi.
*[[Ice Planet]] - Cold and lonely worlds of ice. These planets are made almost entirely out of ice and feature large plateaus with maze like valleys beneath.
*[[Desert Planet]] - Hot and dusty worlds. These planets have plates full of sand and lava lakes.
*[[Alien Planet]] - Strange and unsettling worlds. These planets see large tendril-like rock formations arching the surface. The ground appears to be made of living tissue.

==Trivia==
*Prior to [https://star-made.org/news/patch-day-starmade-0-15 Alpha Version 0.15], Planets were disk shaped and only consisted of one plate. It was entirely possible to fall off the side and drop completely out of the gravity of a planet.
*While molten cores may look like they are made of lava they in fact are completely safe to walk on. It is unknown if this is a bug or an intended feature.
*It is just barely possible to escape the gravity of a planet in a core.

==Upcoming Features==
*Moons and Rings
*Flora and Fauna
*Jovian (Gaseous) Planets

Red planets, or Arid planets, are scorched worlds that have a surface of red-orange rock, resembling the planet Mars. They have large ravines with lava and large dunes of red sand, and like all planets they are a huge abundance of resources.

{{WIP}}

'''Asteroids''' are highly concentrated deposits of [[Raw Material]] found in space orbiting stars. They are harvested with ship-based [[Salvage Module|Salvage Modules]].
[[File:Asteroids.jpg|thumb|A purple ([[Sugil]]) asteroid featuring deposits of [[Threns Ore Raw|Threns]]<nowiki/>and [[Sintyr Shard Raw|Sintyr]].]]

==Types==
[[File:Asteroid belt orbits.jpg|thumb|Locations of asteroid belts in a star system, as shown in the [[Map]].]]
Asteroids are a vital part of mining, and resource acquisition in Starmade. There are eight types of asteroids, each with different mineral, crystal, and ore composition. They are located in asteroid orbital sectors in solar systems. Orbital sectors will have multiple asteroids at the center of them. If all the asteroids are destroyed, new ones will be generated eventually on a sector reload.

It should be noted that as of StarMade v0.198.219, Yellow "Lukrah" asteroids are now similar in colour to Red "Cinnabar" Asteroids at a glance. It is recommended you activate Asteroid navigation markers and use that to aid in finding and differentiating them. Without using Asteroid navigation markers, one noticeable difference between the two is that the Yellow "Lukrah" asteroids are a solid dark red, while the Red "Cinnabar" Asteroids are a mix of dark red with a lighter shade of red spots covering it.

==Asteroid Spawning==
Asteroids spawn throughout star-systems in a very predictable, and structured manner, making it easy to find resources.
The diagram below shows the different zones in which certain asteroid types can spawn, and the zones' inner & outer spawn radii.

[[File:AsteroidMap.png||600px]]

== Trivia ==
* Asteroids cannot be inhabited like [[Planet|planets]] or [[Space Station|stations]], but [[Faction Module|Faction Modules]] may be placed on them and the asteroid can then become associated with a [[faction]]. This can allow players to make a weapon [[entity]] that is mobile through the use of [[Effects|Pull/Push effects]] or a [[Support Tool Systems|Push-Pulse System]] and appears neutral, but houses weapons or [[Turret|turrets]]. While they cannot be truly inhabited, Blocks such as [[Build Block|Build Blocks]], Factories, and [[Undeathinator|Undeathinators]] still function on them, serving as a replacement temporary base to using a [[Planet]]. However, the system cannot be claimed from an Asteroid nor can it be made a Homebase.

* Asteroids can be moved around using [[Effects|Pull/Push effects]] or a [[Support Tool Systems|Push-Pulse System]] to be utilized as a weapon on its own by being "thrown" towards enemy structures or ships (so long as collision damage is turned on).
