[TBD] (NOT FINISHED)

In this guide, we will cover how to navigate the universe and find a planet. You'll learn to use the StarMap and Telescope, as well as what to look for. If you already know how to do this, consider skipping to Looking for a planet. Finding a planet may take some time, don't give up!

Navigating the universe

To navigate the universe, you will need to learn how to use the StarMap, Telescope, and HyperDrive. Let's start with the former.

The Starmap

The StarMap is divided into the Universe and Solar views. You are able to toggle them by clicking Mode in the bottom-right of the StarMap.

In the Universe view, you will be able to see nearby stars and their coordinates. The Solar view will show your current solar system; it's star and orbiting planets.

Clicking on a planet displayed on the StarMap will automatically configure attached the coordinate property of attached HyperDrives and Telescopes to it's coordinates.

The Telescope

The Telescope is used to look at the properties of celestial bodies. These include;

Planet/Star type (See Planets page for more info)
Resources (See link for more info)
Atmosphere (Breathable/Non-breathable)
Average Temperature
Gravity
Rings (True/False)
Tidally locked (True/False)
Radius (Only for stars/black holes)

Before entering a planet, you should always look at its properties as entering a planet with conditions you are not prepared to deal with may prove deadly.

You should be especially wary of hot planets, as they may set your thrusters (And if their is high temperature enough even PowerCells and Solar panels) ablaze if proper cooling is not supplied. If this happens, try to quickly craft and attach a few Coolers to a power source, and then leave the game to prevent the fire from spreading or completely destroying your thrusters.

To view a celestial body's properties, simply configure the Telescope's Coordinates property to the celestial body's Universe coordinates and click it. Be aware that the Telescope requires power to operate.

The HyperDrive

The HyperDrive is used to traverse the Universe.
