Planets & Resources

Planets

Each system contains 10-30 planets (normal distribution, average 20). Planets are assigned to slots within their system.

Planet Model

Field	Type	Description

Starter Planet

New players receive a starter planet with:

• 500 iron, 250 silver
• Zentrale (level 1), Iron Mine (level 1), Silver Mine (level 1), Fusion Plant (level 1)

Resources

Five resource types drive the game economy:

Resource	Symbol	Primary Source	Use
Iron	iron	Iron Mine	Building, ships
Silver	silver	Silver Mine	Building, research
Ember	ember	Ember Extractor	Advanced tech, premium ships
H2	h2	H2 Extractor	Fleet fuel
Energy	energy	Fusion Plant	Powers buildings and production

Production

Resources are produced continuously by buildings. Since there's no game loop, production is calculated on demand:

produced = (current_time - lastSeen) × production_rate_per_second

Resource Storage

Resources are stored directly on the Planet model. There is no separate storage building — your planet IS your warehouse.
