Planet

NOTICE: This page is a Work in Progress as much of the lore/Development for the game is yet to be established.

A planet is a spherical body found in space. They are often found in star systems, spawning within certain zones. Planet types and characteristics often depend on their spawning location and other factors, such as the whether they are within the Habitable Zone.

Planet Types

Terrestrial Planets

Terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rocks and solid materials such as metals. They often consist of a core and multiple material layers. Some terrestrial planets spawn with liquid environments or with molten substances on their surfaces, such as Earth-like Analogues or Lava Planets. Some also spawn with atmospheres with gases in their ozone, with some becoming Earth-like analogues capable of supporting life itself.

Atmospheric Terrestrials

• Characteristics: Rocky surfaces and atmospheres, though often lack liquid surfaces like water or lava.
• Examples: Mercury, Venus, Mars
• Notes: Will often spawn in or outside the Habitable Zone, often between the Lava Zone and the Frost Line

Lava Planets

• Characteristics: Rocky surfaces and atmospheres with molten materials on their surfaces.
• Examples:
• Notes: Will often spawn in the Lava Zone in a star system's orbit.

Earth-like Analogues

• Characteristics: Rocky surfaces and atmospheric, with the surface being able to support life and spawn water.
• Examples: Earth
• Notes: Will often spawn within the habitable zone of certain stars, such as G and K class stars

Giant Planets

Giant planets are a term given to planets which exceed Earth's size Jupiter, Saturn

Gas Giants

• Characteristics: Surfaces are often composed of light materials and gases, often Hydrogen or Helium.
• Examples: Jupiter, Saturn
• Notes: Can currently spawn outside of a star's frost line, due to the volatile nature of the planet's content.

Ice Giants

• Characteristics: Surfaces are often composed of frozen materials heavier than gases, such as Carbon or Water.
• Examples: Uranus, Neptune
• Notes: Can currently spawn outside of a star's frost line.

Dwarf Planets

Ice Dwarfs

• Characteristics: Surfaces often similar to Ice Giants, with their surfaces containing frozen materials.
• Examples: Pluto, Sedna
• Notes:

Rocky Dwarfs

• Characteristics: Surfaces are similar to Terrestrial Planets.
• Examples: Ceres
• Notes:
