In this guide, we will cover how to navigate the [[The Universe|universe]] and find a [[Planets|planet]]. You'll learn to use the [[StarMap]] and [[Telescope]], as well as what to look for. If you already know how to navigate and traverse the universe but require help picking a

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

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

Before entering a [[Planets|planet]], you should always look at its properties as entering a [[Planets|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 [[:Category:Propulsion|propulsion]] ''(<small>And if the is high temperature enough even [[PowerCell|PowerCells]] and [[SolarPanel|Solar panels]])</small>'' ablaze if proper cooling is not supplied. If this happens, try to quickly craft and attach a few [[Cooler|Coolers]] to a power source, and then leave the game to prevent the fire from spreading or completely destroying your [[:Category:Propulsion|propulsion]].▼

'''Do <big><u>NOT</u></big> go for [[Neutron Star|neutron]] or [[Black Hole|black hole]] systems''', as they are often checked by raiders. If you want to set up a space station however, a [[Neutron Star|neutron]] system is worth considering due to the increased [[Power and electronics#Generating Power|solar power generation]], just make sure it's on random coordinates so it isn't found.

Please do note that you should strive to get as far away as possible from starter planets, as players will often visit nearby systems, increasing the risk of your base being found.

[[Ocean|Ocean planets]] should only really be considered once you've already set up a base. They are incredibly hard to inhabit, and have decent [[resources]]. If you like living underwater or want to hide, these are a decent pick.
If a planet doesn't meet your requirements, going for a ring base is also an option, in this case you should look for a [[Gas Giant|gas giant]]. Do know that these can be quite difficult to set up and aren't really recommended for new players. Advanced players may also choose to enter the
