This page describes the rules and requirements for new System. A system is created by spending 50
, 100
, 200
and 5
.
When creating a new system you get:
Specials are used as wildcard during system creation.
Unused
can be converted to
, and unused
can be converted to
, both in a 1 on 1 ratio.
A system must have a star. The central point of a system is its star (or stars in case of a binary system).
The chosen star determines the number of Hot orbits (
), Goldilocks orbits (
) and Cold orbits (
), and the naturally available
Power of each orbit.
Gas Giants have a large amount of Lunar orbits (
) and provide a limited amount of
power for their orbit.
The
price of Gas Giants differs depending on their type and chosen type of orbit.
Terrestrial Planets come in various sizes and take up an orbit around the star. Planets have large amounts of Zones, but a small amount of
Lunar orbits. Planets can have Atmospheres, Oceans and Natural Life. Planets are paid for using
. Asteroid Belts are a special type of planet that get cheaper zones but who's zones can only be used for mining
and they cannot have atmospheres, oceans and natural life.
Moons come in various sizes and take up a
Lunar Orbit around the star. Moons are smaller and cheaper than planets but function very similarly. Moons can have Atmospheres, Oceans and Natural Life. Moons are paid for using
. Rings and Trojan Asteroids are a special type of moon that get cheaper zones but who's zones can only be used for mining
and they cannot have atmospheres, oceans and natural life. Not all planets can have rings or Trojans.
Atmospheres and Oceans increase the total production of a terrestrial planet or moon.
A world in
Goldilocks Orbit with an atmosphere can have up to three Climates. Climates provide a bonus in one product or raw material, but a penalty in another.
Atmospheres and Oceans are paid for using
, climates are free.
A planet in
Goldilocks Orbit with an atmosphere or ocean is called Habitable and may have Natural Life. Worlds with natural life can have Zones constructed and upgraded for half price. Natural life is paid for using
.
Planets and moons may have
Population.
The starting zones are placed in the system. Starting zones placed on a world with Natural Life get a free Improved Production upgrade.
