CyberSoul: add to Sol

Early in the game, the highest utility planets are close to Sol and have low risk.

'''Warning''': New players probably want to initially avoid hostile space and moderate risk planets

Walkthrough

CyberSoul: add links to early game mineral and bio lists

==About This Walkthrough==

For a linear game, the structure of a walkthrough is simple: it consists of step-by-step instructions. The Ur-Quan Masters is not linear. Instead, multiple plot lines advance simultaneously (some of them entirely without the player's intervention). This walkthrough is structured to reflect that aspect of the game. If you don't know what you need to do to advance the plot, if you're missing some critical piece of information, you can probably find it here. But this is not a step-by-step guide to beating The Ur-Quan Masters.

Plot spoilers have been kept to a minimum, in hopes that the game will be able to reveal itself to you as the creators intended.

==Starting The Ur-Quan Masters==

{{hint|Save your game on a regular basis. Keeping multiple saves will let you go further back if you make a mistake without realizing it. If you use a lot of saves, be sure to familiarize yourself with the interface for selecting which one to load. It shows the in-game date of the save, the position of your ship and other information to help you choose your load point more easily.}}

{{hint|If you want to depend as little as possible on this walkthrough, keep a notebook (a single sheet of paper is not remotely enough) to record what you learn from the people you talk to. The story can drive itself without needing too much slow planet-by-planet exploration, and it can be more satisfying to make progress without referring to outside sources like this guide.}}

Upon first starting the game, you will be at the edge of our solar system, called [[Sol]].

*You will find [[Earth]] (the third planet) surrounded by a red shield. In addition to the [[Luna|Moon]], there is a space station orbiting the Earth. When you approach, a drone will fly out and converse with you. Upon reaching the station, you can make contact with [[Hayes]], who will tell you that the station needs radioactive minerals and that you can find them on [[Mercury]].
*Go to Mercury, scan it and dispatch a [[Lander]] to collect the radioactive (orange) minerals. Mercury is inhospitable, so it is advisable to land near the minerals and return to the ship (use the escape or secondary fire key) as soon as you have acquired the radioactives. If the Lander is destroyed, you can go back to Earth and get another from Hayes.

{{hint|Radioactive materials can also be found on the moons of [[Jupiter]], which are less dangerous than Mercury.}}

{{hint|[[Lander Hints]] can provide more suggestions on gathering resources using the lander.}}

{{hint|The trip to Mercury is a bit tedious. At the beginning of the game your ship is really slow at first. As you acquire more [[RU]] (Resource Units) and better technology from [[Melnorme]], you will be able to make it faster, better at turning, and stronger in combat.}}

*Take the radioactives back the [[Earth_Starbase|Starbase]] and give them to Commander Hayes. He will send you to the moon.

*Scanning the moon, you will notice that the "Energy" scan has detected something. Dispatch a Lander and investigate.

*When you get back to Earth and talk to Hayes, you will be interrupted by an [[Avenger|Ilwrath Avenger]], which attacks your ship.

{{hint|[[Fighting Hints]] can provide suggestions on dealing with space combat.}}

*After you have defeated the Avenger, Hayes will arrange to configure the Starbase to maintain and upgrade your ship.

At this point, the linear portion of the game is over. The rest of this walkthrough consists of instructions for intermediate objectives, including acquiring items, forming alliances with other races, and instigating various events.

==Gaining Allies==
Some of the aliens you encounter can be convinced to help you. In some cases, this means a formal alliance: they send a delegation to Earth and you can build their race's ships at the [[Starbase]]. In other cases, they will give you a few ships but you will not be able to build them yourself.

Most of these alliances are optional, but you may find them useful. Check the [[Walkthrough#Final Mission|final mission]] section for a list of required alliances.

===The Spathi===

*To communicate with the [[Spathi]], [[the Captain]] must learn their secret cypher, either by meeting [[Fwiffo]] on Pluto, or by buying information from the [[Melnorme]].
*Once the captain knows the cypher, he can find the [[The Safe Ones|Spathi leaders]] on Epsilon Gruis Ia (241.6 : 368.7). Give them the secret cypher and ask them to join your alliance. They will require that you prove yourself by eliminating the '[[Evil Ones]]' from their historic homeworld, Epsilon Gruis I.
*Land, eliminate the Evil Ones, and collect the biological information that they leave.
*Return to Epsilon Gruis Ia. The Spathi will thank you and ask you to come back later. As usual in this kind of situation, it does not matter how much game time passes before you return. Start another dialogue with them and they will ally themselves with you.

===The Pkunk===
Any [[Pkunk]] you meet will be friendly. They will direct you to their homeworld, Gamma Krueger I (052.2 : 052.5). When you get there, they will offer you the [[Clear Spindle]] and you can convince them to give you four [[Fury]] ships. You can never build these ships at the Starbase.
{{hint|Make sure that you have four empty spaces in your fleet when you visit the Pkunk homeworld. If you don't want the Fury ships, you can scrap them later for RU}}

===The Orz===
You can make a formal alliance with the [[Orz]] just by conversing with them in space. They can be found near their homeworld, Gamma Vulpeculae I (371.3 : 253.7).

===The Shofixti===
Making an alliance with the [[Shofixti]] is a more complicated process.

*(Optional) Visit [[ZEX]] of the [[VUX]] at his private planet, Alpha Cerenkov I (422.1 : 198.6). (The [[Melnorme]] can tell you where to find him.) He offers to give you the remaining female Shofixti if you bring him a certain [[VUX_Beast|legendary monster]].
*Capture the beast at [[Delta_Lyncis|Delta Lyncis I]] (570.4 : 979.5). This is difficult unless your Lander has been upgraded by the Melnorme.
*Bring the creature to ZEX at Alpha Cerenkov I (422.1 : 198.6).
*Land on the planet's surface and retrieve the [[Shofixti Maidens]].
*Take them to the Delta Gorno system (290.8 : 026.9), where you can find Tanaka, a male Shofixti piloting a [[Scout|Shofixti Scout]]. He will attack you. Flee repeatedly (this consumes a good deal of fuel, so be sure you have enough) until he realizes you're not the enemy. The fastest way to gain his trust is to insult him (the Melnorme hint at this).
*Once he trusts you, you can give him the maidens, and two months later, the Shofixti will arrive at Earth and ally themselves with you.

{{hint|If you kill Tanaka, his brother [[Katana]] will appear in the system. Katana can also be used to repopulate the Shofixti species.}}

The [[Shofixti]] are very useful allies. Once they join your alliance, the [[Crew_cost|crew cost]] goes down by 2 credits.

{{hint|If you lose a thousand or more crew, the cost per crewman will increase from 3 to 5. If the Shofixti ally with you before this point, the cost will be 1 RU per crewman from then on (regardless of how many you lose). If the RU cost has already increased due to crew loss, the Shofixti will permanently set it to 3 RUs.}}

===The Yehat===

Take a Shofixti Scout to [[Yehat]] space (near Gamma Serpentis I (492.3 : 029.4)) and show it to a Yehat pilot in a hyperspace or in a planetary system. A civil war will begin, and one side will be happy to supply you with four Yehat [[Terminator]]s whenever you meet them in space. The other side is hostile, and there is no way to tell the difference until you talk, so be prepared to fight.

There is no way to make a formal alliance with the Yehat.

===The Zoq-Fot-Pik===

To recruit the [[Zoq-Fot-Pik]], go to their homeworld at Alpha Tucanae I (400.0 : 543.7). The Zoq-Fot-Pik willingly join your alliance. (You can find out where they are by investigating Rigel after Hayes tells you about a transmission from that direction)

{{hint|The journey to to Alpha Tucanae is hazardous. You need to be able to out-run or out-gun the Ur-Quan ships in the vicinity.}}

===The Arilou===
The [[Arilou]] will not make a formal alliance directly, but they will provide you with some of their [[Skiff]] vessels if you complete the process to acquire the [[Walkthrough#Portal Spawner|Portal Spawner]] device. The Skiffs are waiting for you when you return to the Starbase.

===The Syreen===

*Go to a [[Shattered World]] and collect the [[Egg Fragments]]. There are three Shattered Worlds to choose from: Beta Copernicus I (600.8 : 263.1), Gamma Brahe I (635.4 : 272.9), and Gamma Scorpii I (647.9 : 206.2).
*Either (a) go to the Mycon Homeworld at Epsilon Scorpii (629.1 : 220.8) and ask about the Egg Fragments, or (b) buy information on the Syreen from a [[Melnorme]] trader.
*Go to Betelgeuse I (412.5 : 377.0) and make contact with the [[Syreen]] at the orbiting station. Ask her about Syra and show her the Egg Fragments.
*Take the Syreen Shuttle to Epsilon Camelopardalis 1a (593.7 : 393.7, deep in Ur-Quan space). Dispatch a Lander to the energy signature.
*Go to Talana to finalize the plans. Your role is to give the [[Mycon]] information that will lure them into her trap.
*Go to the Mycon homeworld (Epsilon Scorpii I, 629.1 : 220.8) and persuade Mycon to move to Organon, in accordance with Talana's instructions.
*At this point, you may need to wait some time before continuing the process. You can view the Mycon's progress on the Starmap.
*Return to Betelgeuse and talk to Talana. She will make a formal alliance with you, and you will be able to build Syreen ships at the Starbase.

{{hint|Unlike other alien races, [[Hayes|Commander Hayes]] will not inform you that the Syreen have joined your Alliance. However, their ships will be available for you to build.}}
{{hint|While the Mycon fleet is out of position, you can steal the [[Walkthrough#Mycon Sun Device|Sun Device]] from Beta Brahe I (639.5 : 231.2)}}

===The Thraddash===

*Go to the [[Thraddash]] territory (Draconis/Apodis constellation) and wait until a ship shows up in HyperSpace.
*Attack the Thraddash and keep doing this until you have destroyed at least 25 of their ships.
*The Thraddash will be impressed with your "fighting skills" and respect and admire you and ask you if you could create their new culture.

{{hint|Neither the Thraddash nor Commander Hayes will tell you that you have become allies, but you will be able to build their Torch ships.}}
{{hint|You can then go to Zeta Draconis and they will let you explore the surface and you can steal the Aqua Helix.}}

===The Supox and the Utwig===
[[Walkthrough#Ultron|Fix the Ultron]] and bring it to an [[Utwig]] space. Find a captain in space or at their home planet (taking it to Zeta Hyades VIb (850.0 : 937.2) does not work) and show him the repaired Ultron. He will take it, and the [[Supox]] and Utwig will both make formal alliances with you immediately.

===The Chmmr===

*First, complete the '''Ilwrath Removal''' quest.
*Take the Sun Device to [[Procyon]] (074.2 : 226.8) and orbit the slave-shielded world (planet II). Use the Device.
*The [[Chmmr]] will emerge, and if you do not already have the Talking Pet and/or the Precursor Bomb, they will instruct you to acquire them. In the meantime, they will ally with you formally and provide you with the Avatar designs.
*When you return with the Talking Pet and the Bomb (or, if you already had them, immediately) they will provide you with infinite RU and equip you with the Improved Precursor Bomb. You are now ready to begin the [[walkthrough#Final_Mission|final mission]].

==Collecting Devices==

With a few exceptions, these devices can be collected in almost any order. The order in which they appear here is mostly arbitrary and un-motivated.

===Umgah Caster===

Make a formal alliance with [[Walkthrough#The Spathi|the Spathi]], and wait several months for them to disappear from the Starmap. [[Hayes]] will also inform you of their disappearance. Once they have disappeared, you can pick up the [[Umgah Caster]] from Epsilon Gruis Ia.

===Portal Spawner===

*Go to Alpha Pavonis VII (056.2 : 800.0) and retreive the warp pod from the wreckage of the Ur-Quan [[Dreadnought]]. (The Umgah, Thraddash or Melnorme can tell you to look there; the Arilou will directly point it out to you)
*For the three days from the 17th through the 19th of each month, a portal will exist at the coordinates 043.8 : 637.2, not far from Gamma Circini. Go through the portal to [[Quasispace]].
*Navigate to the Arilou Homeworld, in the upper right region of Quasispace.
*The Arilou will use the warp pod to make a [[Portal Spawner]] for your flagship.

===Sun Device===

The [[Sun Device]] is located on Beta Brahe I (639.5 : 231.2), but it is guarded by a large (infinite, in fact) fleet of [[Mycon]] [[Podship]]s. To acquire it, follow the steps to form an alliance with [[Walkthrough#The Syreen|the Syreen]], and either visit Beta Brahe I while they are away or after they come back. If you wait for them to come back, you still have to fight them, but the fleet deployed at Beta Brahe I is finite, and can be destroyed so that you can pick up the Sun Device.

===Clear Spindle===
The [[Clear Spindle]] can be obtained when you visit the [[Walkthrough#The Pkunk|Pkunk]] homeworld, Gamma Krueger I (052.2 : 052.5).

===Rosy Sphere===

You can purchase the [[Rosy Sphere]] (needed for the Ultron) from the Druuge at the Zeta Persei (946.9 : 280.6) star system. The cost is 100 crew or one [[Mycon]] [[Deep Child]] fragment or the Burvix Caster. If you have not already shown your Egg Fragment to Talana, you should do so before you trade it away to the Druuge.

===Aqua Helix===
The [[Aqua Helix]] is one of three devices needed to repair the [[Ultron|Broken Ultron]] for the [[Utwig]]. There are 3 ways to obtain it:
#Tell the [[Thraddash]] (Delta Draconis I (253.5 : 835.8)) to attack the Ur-Quan's enemies, then go to Zeta Draconis (277.6 : 867.3) while the fleet is gone.
#Take the Umgah Caster to the Ilwrath and command them to attack the Thraddash. The Thraddash will be too busy fighting the Ilwrath to stop you from taking the Helix.
#If you manage to destroy 25 Thraddash ships (ships destroyed at their worlds don't count), they will admire and respect you and form a new culture to fit your example. After doing this, you may travel to Zeta Draconis and retrieve the artifact unharmed.

===Ultron===

*Make contact with the [[Supox]] (near Beta Librae I (741.4 : 912.4)). The Supox will give you the Broken Ultron. In addition, you will need the [[Walkthrough#Clear Spindle|Clear Spindle]], the [[Walkthrough#Aqua Helix|Aqua Helix]] and the [[Walkthrough#Rosy Sphere|Rosy Sphere]]. These four items can be acquired in any order.
*Combine the Broken Ultron with the other three items by "using" them in your device list after acquiring the Broken Ultron.

===Precursor Bomb===

*When you give the repaired Ultron [[Walkthrough#The Supox and the Utwig|to the Utwig]], they will tell you to go to Zeta Hyades VIb (850.0 : 937.2) to retrieve the powerful Precursor Bomb device.
*When you arrive, you will have to fight a small contingent of [[Druuge]] [[Maulers]] before you can dispatch a Lander to the surface to pick up the bomb.

===Taalo Shield===
The [[Taalo Shield]] is a device that stops the [[Dnyarri]] from being able to control your mind. Since you will get a [[Dnyarri]] soon, this device is important.
*Go to Delta Vulpeculae 2c (372.1 : 261.9), in Orz space. The Shield is on 2c, a moon in this system. It is guarded by Orz, but they will allow you through if you are friendly.

===Talking Pet===
This creature was discovered by the Arilou and restored by the Umgah, who also accidentally unlocked the mental powers that are totally suppressed in most [[Talking Pet|Talking Pets]].
*First, go to the Arilou homeworld in QuasiSpace, and ask them about the talking pet.
*Bring the Taalo Shield to Beta Orionis (197.8 : 596.8). The Talking Pet will try to have you kill yourself, but the Taalo Shield will stop him. He then summons several Umgah to attack you. Fight off the Umgah Drones.
*Once the Drones are defeated, you can take the Talking Pet. The grateful Umgah will hail you as a hero, give you 500 biological data units as a reward... then immediately attack you, since heroes are boring. To make the attack interesting, they will graciously give you several Umgah Drones-take them and run!

==Other Quests==

===Burvix Caster===
This device is an alternative to the Umgah Caster. The [[Melnorme]] can tell you about the [[Burvixese]] and where to find their homeworld.
*Go to Arcturus (964.5 : 579.1). The Caster is on a moon orbiting the first planet.

{{hint|Once you acquire the Umgah Caster, a better use for this Caster surfaces: Load up the Flagship with empty High-Efficiency Fuel Tanks and go to Zeta Persei. The Druuge will fill your fuel tanks to the brim in exchange for the Burvix Caster. This fuel can be used or returned to the Starbase for a huge amount of RUs.}}

{{hint|The Burvix Caster can also be exchanged for the Rosy Sphere, one of the replacement parts for the Ultron. This is one of several ways to acquire the device.}}

{{hint|You cannot perform either trade if you have already completed the mission to acquire the Precursor Bomb as the Druuge will be hostile to you from that point on.}}

===Ilwrath Removal===
*First, acquire one of the hypercasters:
** the [[Burvixese Hyperwave Broadcaster]] or
** the [[Umgah HyperWave Broadcaster|Umgah Caster]] from the [[Walkthrough#The_Spathi|Spathi]] ally quest.

*Go to the [[Ilwrath]] home system Alpha Tauri (022.9 : 366.6) and use the Umgah Caster. They will believe you to be the twin gods Dogar and Kazon, allowing you to command them to stop attacking the Pkunk.
The Ilwrath will attack the Thraddash, and the battle will annihilate both the Ilwrath AND the Thraddash Fleets.

===Slylandro Probes===

The Slylandro Probes belong to a race of creatures that live in a gas giant, Beta Corvi IV ( 033.3 : 981.2 ). You can learn about them from the Melnorme, who sell the location of their homeworld as "information about current events." In addition, the Thraddash and Zoq-Fot-Pik can both tell you what general direction the probes are coming from.

If you go directly to the Slylandro homeworld at Beta Corvi IV at 033.3 : 981.2, you will be unable to convince them that the probes are harmful. (You can ask about the probes as much as you like, but you will not be offered the option of informing them that the probes are attacking ships.) As soon as you have encountered and talked to a probe, however, all dialogue options open.

If you convince them that the probes are destroying ships, The Slylandro will give you a code to destroy any probe you meet. If you destroy the probes with the code you still get the RU.

The next time you return to Beta Corvi IV (even if it is immediately after you leave with the code), the Slylandro will inform you that they have succeeded in reprogramming a probe to seek out other probes and order them to self-destruct. From this point on, the number of probes will go down until you will no longer encounter them in the game.

==Final Mission==

To initiate the final mission, you will need the [[Walkthrough#Sun Device|Sun Device]], [[Walkthrough#Precursor Bomb|Precursor Bomb]] and [[Walkthrough#Talking Pet|Talking Pet]] in your cargo hold. Take these to Procyon II and use the Sun Device while in orbit. When you regain control of the Flagship, you will appear back at the Starbase around Earth.

Equip your ship and fly to the location of the Sa-Matra at Delta Crateris (620.0 : 593.5). Use your Talking Pet to confuse the large Ur-Quan fleet preventing your approach to the Sa-Matra. Following this, only six Ur-Quan ships will stand between you and the Sa-Matra — three [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za]] [[Dreadnought]]s and three [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah]] [[Marauder]]s. After defeating them, you may be supplied with as many [[Pkunk]] [[Fury|Furies]] and [[Yehat]] [[Terminator]]s as you can carry (up to four of each). The appearance of these reinforcements is dependent upon you starting the [[Walkthrough#The Yehat|Yehat civil war]].

Finally, you will have to perform two daunting tasks — the first, eliminating the eight shield generators that power a force field protecting the only entrance to the Sa-Matra, which sits guarded inside a cocoon of asteroids. While trying to eliminate these shield generators, you will be chased and harried by flaming, homing fireballs/comets of some kind, and small green blobs that, rather than shoot at you, simply bump into you causing a small amount of damage but a transferring a lot of momentum. The Pkunk Fury is well capable of flying around and eluding these slower adversaries, and its main weapon is ideal for strafing runs on the shield generators. You may want to fly around first so all the fireballs and green blobs come out of the Sa-Matra, so you don't have to worry about them coming out right next to you. Note that it is possible to destroy the fireballs and green blobs with your weapons. However, if any of the shield generators are still intact, the Sa-Matra will automatically send out new ones to replace those you've destroyed.

Your second task will be to rush your bomb-laden Flagship into the asteroid shell for the final blow against the Ur-Quan. One approach is to rely on luck, that your Flagship gets a good initial placement in the battle when it's sent in, and filling the Flagship with as many full crew pods to survive the onslaught of the green blobs and fireballs. A second approach is to first use any remaining ships in your fleet to destroy any fireballs and green blobs left over from the first task. Since all the shield generators have been destroyed by this point, these will not be replaced when they are destroyed. With all the fireballs and green blobs destroyed, it is very easy to maneuver your Flagship into position to destroy the Sa-Matra. When you enter the asteroid shell with your Flagship, you will automatically activate the bomb and get away with the escape pod. Now enjoy the ending movie. :-)

==Other Useful Information==

===The Melnorme Traders===
Melnorme Traders are present at every super-giant star system in the game -- if you don't see them when you reach the system, check the planets or wait for them to come out into view. Also, if your ship runs out of fuel and is dead in the water, a Trader will appear and offer to help. Furthermore, if you use either the Umgah or Burvix Caster while in hyperspace, a Trader vessel will come looking for you.

List of top early biological planets

CyberSoul: remove special planet sort

Early in the game, the highest utility planets are close to Sol and have a lower risk. Due to the relative scarcity of lifeforms near earth, moderate risk planets are listed, even though it can be a real challenge to farm them without losing landers. Also, the risk due to the lifeforms themselves is not factored in (i.e. beware of fungal squid).

'''Warning''': New players probably want to initially avoid hostile space and moderate risk planets

CyberSoul: Add category information

Early in the game, the highest utility planets are close to Sol and have a lower risk. Due to the relative scarcity of lifeforms near earth, moderate risk planets are listed, even though it can be a real challenge to farm them without losing landers. Also, the risk due to the lifeforms themselves is not factored in (beware of fungal squid).

List of top early biological planets

2011-04-06T03:52:11Z

CyberSoul: Bio wasn't in biounits before, it is now (also I'm natively dumping wiki table format)

Early in the game, the highest utility planets are close to Sol and have a lower risk. Due to the relative scarcity of lifeforms near earth, moderate risk planets are listed, even though it can be a real challenge to farm them without losing landers. Also, the risk due to the lifeforms themselves is not factored in (beware of fungal squid).

'''Warning''': New players probably want to initially avoid (hostile) space and moderate risk planets

CyberSoul: replies

==Gem Worlds==

Gem worlds getting their own pages? You know, that's not a bad idea! Welcome to Ultronomicon, newcomer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 04:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for the welcome and support. I saw a partial list of the gem worlds in a walkthrough and figured out how to extract the full list (after a while!). At first, I naively searched high and low for static data somewhere in the codebase :) Plus IIRC, the top 21 mineral planets are all gem planets! Do you like the presentation format? I was thinking about using it in a couple more pages, and it would be easier to change now rather than later. Once the format is ready, I would like to add the same data to the rainbow world page, as some of them are quite hostile while others are calm. [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 04:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
::I can't speak for the other admins but that all sounds good to me. This wiki could use more RU and bio collection information. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 17:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

The topic was briefly discussed a long time ago (see the top of [[Talk:List of planet types]]) and it seems that the decision was made to replace all the separate pages that existed at the time (ie [[Water Worlds]], [[Ruby Worlds]], [[Yttric Worlds]], [[Auric Worlds]], [[Lanthanide Worlds]]) with the single list. If each new page is merely a repeat of the couple sentences found at the list, then I don't think each planet type requires its own page. The one thing that CyberSoul has added, which wasn't there before, are lists of location and information about instances of those planet types. Does that addition warrant the re-creation of the individual pages? I'm not certain, but I currently lean towards no - however, perhaps it would be appropriate to have a '''List of Ruby Worlds''' and similar pages with that information in a more wikified type table (something along the lines of [[User:Jacius/Planets]] maybe or an expansion of the table at [[Rainbow World]] with columns for the additional planetary data). The downside to this proposal for me is where do we draw the line of inclusion, in other words how do we choose which planet types to do lists for - do we just do it for the exotic worlds? --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 17:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
:I have a counter-proposal: Discard CyberSoul's recent work and create new pages for mineral-rich worlds and for bio-rich worlds. This information is too useful to leave off the wiki. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

:Starting with the gem types, I had found the information very useful in game, and I could easily identify where to put it by analogy with Rainbow Worlds, so those pages were born. But as my capability to mine and use the data progressed, I sort of agree with Shiver. Indeed, I played with making in game decisions based on the data, moving to using either a planet-base view or a systems-based view (ala RPRG). The planet based view is much better, because player time is an important factor, and armed with a map you can find a good route to quickly hit all the good planets in multiple nearby systems. So a list of top X planets by mineral and bio yield is most likely a good idea, and X=100 seems to work well when I look at the resulting lists. Mid-to-late game those are great lists, and I can generate them quite easily. But they are not as good early game, when you don't have the technology to legitimately access hostile worlds, and you can't afford to go half-way across the map to find good planets. Thus I developed the capability to filter by risk and location, so I also propose lists for the top low-risk planets near Sol, top 50 mineral and top 30 bio seem to work well. -- [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

==Mineral-Rich Worlds and Bio-Rich Worlds==

Mineral and bio list pages look good. I'm not sure about using planets over systems for early resource gathering when fuel is scarce, but then again the act of scouring an entire system to find 1-3 good planets is not so much fun. The gem world pages will be deleted soon, but I'll hold off on that a while longer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 15:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, I was also surprised that the planet data was so much more useful after trying both. However, if you know where the good worlds are ahead of time and plan a good route on a map, the majority of your fuel use come from dropping down the gravity wells, not from actual travel. And then the higher-yielding worlds from the top planet list require less trips down to the surface to get the same RU value. You also end up fitting more RU into your cargo hold at once, saving repeated long trips back to that region of space. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

What about planets in Ilwrath space? Melee veterans can walk right over any number of Avengers, of course, but those are pretty threatening ships to new players. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 02:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, the Ilwrath concern is definitely real, as my melee skills were only ever mediocre at best, and I just started back after a long while. I've been using similar data to what I uploaded to play through the early game several different ways, with the idea to bootstrap as fast as possible to decent minerals and tech. This last time I went straight at Ilwrath space (Epsilon/Gamma/Beta Volantis), and I only made it out alive after a few different tries. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 05:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
::It's probably best not to tell players to go digging through Ilwrath space, then. I've always been able to mine Delta Centauri without Ilwrath contact, but I don't know how many battlegroups can appear in that system. If Delta Centauri can theoretically end up packed full of Avengers, I wouldn't recommend entering that system either. Beyond that, I'm not really sure how to rework the early mineral world, early bio world pages. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 16:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I've been torn on how to handle this, as on the one hand the data is very useful to some players, particularly the bio worlds near earth, which seem more concentrated in Ilwrath space. On the other hand, some planets are hazardous to newer players. I think that a good solution is another column, pointing out the planets that lie in hazardous territory. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
::::Put the extra column up, I guess. We can always decide to re-do the page later. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm playing through the game again to check 0.7 RC for bugs and using your early planet recommendations right now. Many of your Tectonics and Weather ratings are off. In particular, your highest rank early bio world (Beta Volantis I-b) is 3 Tectonics / 4 Weather and a bit of a killing field. I don't think newbies should be hunting critters on it. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 21:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
:Four weather wouldn't have made the page, as weather is nastier than tectonics. 3 weather/4 tectonics is the nastiest rating that can make the list. When you are mining minerals, those planets kill crew, but usually not at a rate that you will lose a lander (i.e. they have similar risk to Sol's Mercury). However, I must admit that hunting bio seems nastier than mining, because you spend more time on the surface to fill the lander, and because the lifeforms themselves can sometimes kill crew. Also, the risk factors don't include any lifeform risk (i.e. fungal squid are nasty without tech upgrades), as that would be hard to quantify and isn't included in the data dump I did from the game so far. So one thing I could do, it to use more stringent risk thresholds when constructing the early bio list than constructing the mineral list. I think lightning is the nastiest killer here, so I would change the weather threshold to 2 weather, which has no lightning. To get a better idea of where you think the right risk level for tectonics should be, can you try Alpha Wolf IVa and Delta Centauri IIa? --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
::No really, go and check the planet in-game. The numbers in the source code for tectonics and weather somehow get bumped up in most instances; almost everything is one point higher than it says. Delta Centauri II-a: It's safe enough. The bees are slow and don't take too many hits. Alpha Wolf IV-a: Maybe too dangerous. There are fast, durable critters that pursue the lander and 4 tectonics will definitely hit the lander a few times while the player is trying to kite them. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 14:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Yes, weather and tectonics are 0-based in the data dump and 1-based when reported to the player, so they are all exactly 1 lower. I adjusted the risk for this long ago, re-uploading the gem pages with a comment about them being 0-based. I went back to the 3 worlds in question, and if you escape out as soon as you lose half the lander crew, the damage rate is never high enough that you lose a lander. Ignoring bio on Beta-Volantis Ib and just straight mining it, I didn't even need to artificially escape. Yet, I agree that the damage rate on Beta-Volantis is higher than on either Alpha Wolf and Delta Centauri, enough to distinguish them somehow. Another factor to consider is that there are so few decent bio worlds near earth already that getting rid of the worlds like Beta-Volantis just makes it a top 20 list instead of a top 30 list. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Current proposed changes that I working on coding/automating: 1) bump weather and tectonics by 1 in the tables to match the expected representation 2) add a moderate risk category, Beta-Volantis Ib would go here, while Alpha Wolf IVa and Delta Centauri IIa would stay in the some risk category. 3) Add a column commenting on the planets location, which would indicate when it was in Ilwrath space, for instance. Optional changes: add a bio-risk column, which could be manually filled in by wiki users/admins. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:15, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

:I would also recommend formatting the infodump with wiki-table syntax. I tried my hand at one of them, [[List of top early biological planets]], to see how it would look. One of the big benefits of this IMO is the sortable columns which give the reader a few more options to extract the information he/she is looking for. The formatting could most likely still use some aesthetic tweaking.
:Also, if you're interested in how far down the rabbit hole you can go with the risk assessment of the planets, you might be interested in some previous (though now somewhat dormant) discussions on the topic: [[Talk:Planet landing risk-reward formula]]. --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 21:40, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
::I like the wiki table format, but will start with getting the raw data there. Yeah, I think that risk-reward analysis got too complicated for its own good, but it's definitely a great read for the inner math geek. Still, its surprising how complex the problem gets in a hurry. The comparatively simple algorithm I use to generate the planet risk ratings is the Python code below: --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

<nowiki>THREAT_TEMP_BOUNDS = [100, 200, 400]
THREAT_WEATHER_BOUNDS = [2, 3, 4]

:All seems good, except I don't think 'NW of Pkunk space' should be present on the table. I'd opt to change "Location" to "Territory" and mention Ilwrath Space, Ur-Quan/Kohr-Ah Space, etc. Bio risk will be a bother for people to fill in, but it shouldn't be too hard to approximately quantify. If the life forms are too difficult to put down without lander upgrades, the risk level is high (Fungal Squids?) or extreme (ZEX's Beauty). --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 22:54, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
::While I agree that knowing a planet is in the S part of Arilou space doesn't add a whole lot over just Arilou space, I think the sector information is quite useful in the larger Kohr-Ah space. Algorithmically, I just use the vector direction to determine the sector, so I don't currently detect if a planet is actually near the middle of the space, but that may be a useful improvement. I could also potentially eliminate the sector information for smaller territories. I think quantifying the bio risk is relatively easy, as it seems to correlate well with the speed, durability, and possibly number of hunter type creatures. However, dumping that data out of the program in a useful form is not on my current todo list. Tentatively, squid/Zex = extreme, bees/yiminy = moderate, other hunters = some. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:05, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

==Quasi-Degenerate Worlds==

Quasi-Degenerate worlds might not deserve their own page if the highest mineral yield on any of them is only 1625 RUs. I don't feel too strongly about this, and will wait to see what other admins say. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 20:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
:I won't defend it much, but they do carry only exotic minerals, so 1625 RU fits in just 65 cargo space. But Pellucids have only exotics too, and I would agree that they don't deserve a page (unless all types do). "Only" and 1625 RU together puzzles me though, as the 90% percentile for mineral yield on a single planet is 913 RU. Wow, and just for fun the 50% percentile is only 150 RU. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:21, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

CyberSoul: remove planet type, narrow columns, and add headers and warnings

Early in the game, the highest utility planets are close to Sol and have a lower risk. Due to the relative scarcity of lifeforms near earth, moderate risk planets are listed, even though it can be a real challenge to farm them without losing landers. Also, the risk due to the lifeforms themselves is not factored in (beware of fungal squid).

'''Warning''': New players probably want to initially avoid (hostile) space and moderate risk planets

CyberSoul: current work in progress

==Gem Worlds==

Gem worlds getting their own pages? You know, that's not a bad idea! Welcome to Ultronomicon, newcomer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 04:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for the welcome and support. I saw a partial list of the gem worlds in a walkthrough and figured out how to extract the full list (after a while!). At first, I naively searched high and low for static data somewhere in the codebase :) Plus IIRC, the top 21 mineral planets are all gem planets! Do you like the presentation format? I was thinking about using it in a couple more pages, and it would be easier to change now rather than later. Once the format is ready, I would like to add the same data to the rainbow world page, as some of them are quite hostile while others are calm. [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 04:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
::I can't speak for the other admins but that all sounds good to me. This wiki could use more RU and bio collection information. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 17:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

The topic was briefly discussed a long time ago (see the top of [[Talk:List of planet types]]) and it seems that the decision was made to replace all the separate pages that existed at the time (ie [[Water Worlds]], [[Ruby Worlds]], [[Yttric Worlds]], [[Auric Worlds]], [[Lanthanide Worlds]]) with the single list. If each new page is merely a repeat of the couple sentences found at the list, then I don't think each planet type requires its own page. The one thing that CyberSoul has added, which wasn't there before, are lists of location and information about instances of those planet types. Does that addition warrant the re-creation of the individual pages? I'm not certain, but I currently lean towards no - however, perhaps it would be appropriate to have a '''List of Ruby Worlds''' and similar pages with that information in a more wikified type table (something along the lines of [[User:Jacius/Planets]] maybe or an expansion of the table at [[Rainbow World]] with columns for the additional planetary data). The downside to this proposal for me is where do we draw the line of inclusion, in other words how do we choose which planet types to do lists for - do we just do it for the exotic worlds? --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 17:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
:I have a counter-proposal: Discard CyberSoul's recent work and create new pages for mineral-rich worlds and for bio-rich worlds. This information is too useful to leave off the wiki. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

:Starting with the gem types, I had found the information very useful in game, and I could easily identify where to put it by analogy with Rainbow Worlds, so those pages were born. But as my capability to mine and use the data progressed, I sort of agree with Shiver. Indeed, I played with making in game decisions based on the data, moving to using either a planet-base view or a systems-based view (ala RPRG). The planet based view is much better, because player time is an important factor, and armed with a map you can find a good route to quickly hit all the good planets in multiple nearby systems. So a list of top X planets by mineral and bio yield is most likely a good idea, and X=100 seems to work well when I look at the resulting lists. Mid-to-late game those are great lists, and I can generate them quite easily. But they are not as good early game, when you don't have the technology to legitimately access hostile worlds, and you can't afford to go half-way across the map to find good planets. Thus I developed the capability to filter by risk and location, so I also propose lists for the top low-risk planets near Sol, top 50 mineral and top 30 bio seem to work well. -- [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

==Mineral-Rich Worlds and Bio-Rich Worlds==

Mineral and bio list pages look good. I'm not sure about using planets over systems for early resource gathering when fuel is scarce, but then again the act of scouring an entire system to find 1-3 good planets is not so much fun. The gem world pages will be deleted soon, but I'll hold off on that a while longer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 15:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, I was also surprised that the planet data was so much more useful after trying both. However, if you know where the good worlds are ahead of time and plan a good route on a map, the majority of your fuel use come from dropping down the gravity wells, not from actual travel. And then the higher-yielding worlds from the top planet list require less trips down to the surface to get the same RU value. You also end up fitting more RU into your cargo hold at once, saving repeated long trips back to that region of space. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

What about planets in Ilwrath space? Melee veterans can walk right over any number of Avengers, of course, but those are pretty threatening ships to new players. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 02:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, the Ilwrath concern is definitely real, as my melee skills were only ever mediocre at best, and I just started back after a long while. I've been using similar data to what I uploaded to play through the early game several different ways, with the idea to bootstrap as fast as possible to decent minerals and tech. This last time I went straight at Ilwrath space (Epsilon/Gamma/Beta Volantis), and I only made it out alive after a few different tries. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 05:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
::It's probably best not to tell players to go digging through Ilwrath space, then. I've always been able to mine Delta Centauri without Ilwrath contact, but I don't know how many battlegroups can appear in that system. If Delta Centauri can theoretically end up packed full of Avengers, I wouldn't recommend entering that system either. Beyond that, I'm not really sure how to rework the early mineral world, early bio world pages. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 16:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I've been torn on how to handle this, as on the one hand the data is very useful to some players, particularly the bio worlds near earth, which seem more concentrated in Ilwrath space. On the other hand, some planets are hazardous to newer players. I think that a good solution is another column, pointing out the planets that lie in hazardous territory. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
::::Put the extra column up, I guess. We can always decide to re-do the page later. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm playing through the game again to check 0.7 RC for bugs and using your early planet recommendations right now. Many of your Tectonics and Weather ratings are off. In particular, your highest rank early bio world (Beta Volantis I-b) is 3 Tectonics / 4 Weather and a bit of a killing field. I don't think newbies should be hunting critters on it. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 21:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
:Four weather wouldn't have made the page, as weather is nastier than tectonics. 3 weather/4 tectonics is the nastiest rating that can make the list. When you are mining minerals, those planets kill crew, but usually not at a rate that you will lose a lander (i.e. they have similar risk to Sol's Mercury). However, I must admit that hunting bio seems nastier than mining, because you spend more time on the surface to fill the lander, and because the lifeforms themselves can sometimes kill crew. Also, the risk factors don't include any lifeform risk (i.e. fungal squid are nasty without tech upgrades), as that would be hard to quantify and isn't included in the data dump I did from the game so far. So one thing I could do, it to use more stringent risk thresholds when constructing the early bio list than constructing the mineral list. I think lightning is the nastiest killer here, so I would change the weather threshold to 2 weather, which has no lightning. To get a better idea of where you think the right risk level for tectonics should be, can you try Alpha Wolf IVa and Delta Centauri IIa? --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
::No really, go and check the planet in-game. The numbers in the source code for tectonics and weather somehow get bumped up in most instances; almost everything is one point higher than it says. Delta Centauri II-a: It's safe enough. The bees are slow and don't take too many hits. Alpha Wolf IV-a: Maybe too dangerous. There are fast, durable critters that pursue the lander and 4 tectonics will definitely hit the lander a few times while the player is trying to kite them. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 14:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Yes, weather and tectonics are 0-based in the data dump and 1-based when reported to the player, so they are all exactly 1 lower. I adjusted the risk for this long ago, re-uploading the gem pages with a comment about them being 0-based. I went back to the 3 worlds in question, and if you escape out as soon as you lose half the lander crew, the damage rate is never high enough that you lose a lander. Ignoring bio on Beta-Volantis Ib and just straight mining it, I didn't even need to artificially escape. Yet, I agree that the damage rate on Beta-Volantis is higher than on either Alpha Wolf and Delta Centauri, enough to distinguish them somehow. Another factor to consider is that there are so few decent bio worlds near earth already that getting rid of the worlds like Beta-Volantis just makes it a top 20 list instead of a top 30 list. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Current proposed changes that I working on coding/automating: 1) bump weather and tectonics by 1 in the tables to match the expected representation 2) add a moderate risk category, Beta-Volantis Ib would go here, while Alpha Wolf IVa and Delta Centauri IIa would stay in the some risk category. 3) Add a column commenting on the planets location, which would indicate when it was in Ilwrath space, for instance. Optional changes: add a bio-risk column, which could be manually filled in by wiki users/admins. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:15, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

==Quasi-Degenerate Worlds==

Quasi-Degenerate worlds might not deserve their own page if the highest mineral yield on any of them is only 1625 RUs. I don't feel too strongly about this, and will wait to see what other admins say. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 20:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
:I won't defend it much, but they do carry only exotic minerals, so 1625 RU fits in just 65 cargo space. But Pellucids have only exotics too, and I would agree that they don't deserve a page (unless all types do). "Only" and 1625 RU together puzzles me though, as the 90% percentile for mineral yield on a single planet is 913 RU. Wow, and just for fun the 50% percentile is only 150 RU. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:21, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

CyberSoul: reply to Shiver

==Gem Worlds==

Gem worlds getting their own pages? You know, that's not a bad idea! Welcome to Ultronomicon, newcomer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 04:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for the welcome and support. I saw a partial list of the gem worlds in a walkthrough and figured out how to extract the full list (after a while!). At first, I naively searched high and low for static data somewhere in the codebase :) Plus IIRC, the top 21 mineral planets are all gem planets! Do you like the presentation format? I was thinking about using it in a couple more pages, and it would be easier to change now rather than later. Once the format is ready, I would like to add the same data to the rainbow world page, as some of them are quite hostile while others are calm. [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 04:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
::I can't speak for the other admins but that all sounds good to me. This wiki could use more RU and bio collection information. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 17:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

The topic was briefly discussed a long time ago (see the top of [[Talk:List of planet types]]) and it seems that the decision was made to replace all the separate pages that existed at the time (ie [[Water Worlds]], [[Ruby Worlds]], [[Yttric Worlds]], [[Auric Worlds]], [[Lanthanide Worlds]]) with the single list. If each new page is merely a repeat of the couple sentences found at the list, then I don't think each planet type requires its own page. The one thing that CyberSoul has added, which wasn't there before, are lists of location and information about instances of those planet types. Does that addition warrant the re-creation of the individual pages? I'm not certain, but I currently lean towards no - however, perhaps it would be appropriate to have a '''List of Ruby Worlds''' and similar pages with that information in a more wikified type table (something along the lines of [[User:Jacius/Planets]] maybe or an expansion of the table at [[Rainbow World]] with columns for the additional planetary data). The downside to this proposal for me is where do we draw the line of inclusion, in other words how do we choose which planet types to do lists for - do we just do it for the exotic worlds? --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 17:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
:I have a counter-proposal: Discard CyberSoul's recent work and create new pages for mineral-rich worlds and for bio-rich worlds. This information is too useful to leave off the wiki. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

:Starting with the gem types, I had found the information very useful in game, and I could easily identify where to put it by analogy with Rainbow Worlds, so those pages were born. But as my capability to mine and use the data progressed, I sort of agree with Shiver. Indeed, I played with making in game decisions based on the data, moving to using either a planet-base view or a systems-based view (ala RPRG). The planet based view is much better, because player time is an important factor, and armed with a map you can find a good route to quickly hit all the good planets in multiple nearby systems. So a list of top X planets by mineral and bio yield is most likely a good idea, and X=100 seems to work well when I look at the resulting lists. Mid-to-late game those are great lists, and I can generate them quite easily. But they are not as good early game, when you don't have the technology to legitimately access hostile worlds, and you can't afford to go half-way across the map to find good planets. Thus I developed the capability to filter by risk and location, so I also propose lists for the top low-risk planets near Sol, top 50 mineral and top 30 bio seem to work well. -- [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

==Mineral-Rich Worlds and Bio-Rich Worlds==

Mineral and bio list pages look good. I'm not sure about using planets over systems for early resource gathering when fuel is scarce, but then again the act of scouring an entire system to find 1-3 good planets is not so much fun. The gem world pages will be deleted soon, but I'll hold off on that a while longer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 15:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, I was also surprised that the planet data was so much more useful after trying both. However, if you know where the good worlds are ahead of time and plan a good route on a map, the majority of your fuel use come from dropping down the gravity wells, not from actual travel. And then the higher-yielding worlds from the top planet list require less trips down to the surface to get the same RU value. You also end up fitting more RU into your cargo hold at once, saving repeated long trips back to that region of space. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

What about planets in Ilwrath space? Melee veterans can walk right over any number of Avengers, of course, but those are pretty threatening ships to new players. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 02:01, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:Yes, the Ilwrath concern is definitely real, as my melee skills were only ever mediocre at best, and I just started back after a long while. I've been using similar data to what I uploaded to play through the early game several different ways, with the idea to bootstrap as fast as possible to decent minerals and tech. This last time I went straight at Ilwrath space (Epsilon/Gamma/Beta Volantis), and I only made it out alive after a few different tries. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 05:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
::It's probably best not to tell players to go digging through Ilwrath space, then. I've always been able to mine Delta Centauri without Ilwrath contact, but I don't know how many battlegroups can appear in that system. If Delta Centauri can theoretically end up packed full of Avengers, I wouldn't recommend entering that system either. Beyond that, I'm not really sure how to rework the early mineral world, early bio world pages. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 16:06, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I've been torn on how to handle this, as on the one hand the data is very useful to some players, particularly the bio worlds near earth, which seem more concentrated in Ilwrath space. On the other hand, some planets are hazardous to newer players. I think that a good solution is another column, pointing out the planets that lie in hazardous territory. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:54, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
::::Put the extra column up, I guess. We can always decide to re-do the page later. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:49, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm playing through the game again to check 0.7 RC for bugs and using your early planet recommendations right now. Many of your Tectonics and Weather ratings are off. In particular, your highest rank early bio world (Beta Volantis I-b) is 3 Tectonics / 4 Weather and a bit of a killing field. I don't think newbies should be hunting critters on it. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 21:19, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
:Four weather wouldn't have made the page, as weather is nastier than tectonics. 3 weather/4 tectonics is the nastiest rating that can make the list. When you are mining minerals, those planets kill crew, but usually not at a rate that you will lose a lander (i.e. they have similar risk to Sol's Mercury). However, I must admit that hunting bio seems nastier than mining, because you spend more time on the surface to fill the lander, and because the lifeforms themselves can sometimes kill crew. Also, the risk factors don't include any lifeform risk (i.e. fungal squid are nasty without tech upgrades), as that would be hard to quantify and isn't included in the data dump I did from the game so far. So one thing I could do, it to use more stringent risk thresholds when constructing the early bio list than constructing the mineral list. I think lightning is the nastiest killer here, so I would change the weather threshold to 2 weather, which has no lightning. To get a better idea of where you think the right risk level for tectonics should be, can you try Alpha Wolf IVa and Delta Centauri IIa? --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
::No really, go and check the planet in-game. The numbers in the source code for tectonics and weather somehow get bumped up in most instances; almost everything is one point higher than it says. Delta Centauri II-a: It's safe enough. The bees are slow and don't take too many hits. Alpha Wolf IV-a: Maybe too dangerous. There are fast, durable critters that pursue the lander and 4 tectonics will definitely hit the lander a few times while the player is trying to kite them. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 14:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Yes, weather and tectonics are 0-based in the data dump and 1-based when reported to the player, so they are all exactly 1 lower. I adjusted the risk for this long ago, re-uploading the gem pages with a comment about them being 0-based. I went back to the 3 worlds in question, and if you escape out as soon as you lose half the lander crew, the damage rate is never high enough that you lose a lander. Ignoring bio on Beta-Volantis Ib and just straight mining it, I didn't even need to artificially escape. Yet, I agree that the damage rate on Beta-Volantis is higher than on either Alpha Wolf and Delta Centauri, enough to distinguish them somehow. Another factor to consider is that there are so few decent bio worlds near earth already that getting rid of the worlds like Beta-Volantis just makes it a top 20 list instead of a top 30 list. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 06:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

CyberSoul: add space

Gem worlds getting their own pages? You know, that's not a bad idea! Welcome to Ultronomicon, newcomer. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 04:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for the welcome and support. I saw a partial list of the gem worlds in a walkthrough and figured out how to extract the full list (after a while!). At first, I naively searched high and low for static data somewhere in the codebase :) Plus IIRC, the top 21 mineral planets are all gem planets! Do you like the presentation format? I was thinking about using it in a couple more pages, and it would be easier to change now rather than later. Once the format is ready, I would like to add the same data to the rainbow world page, as some of them are quite hostile while others are calm. [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 04:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
::I can't speak for the other admins but that all sounds good to me. This wiki could use more RU and bio collection information. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 17:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
:::The topic was briefly discussed a long time ago (see the top of [[Talk:List of planet types]]) and it seems that the decision was made to replace all the separate pages that existed at the time (ie [[Water Worlds]], [[Ruby Worlds]], [[Yttric Worlds]], [[Auric Worlds]], [[Lanthanide Worlds]]) with the single list. If each new page is merely a repeat of the couple sentences found at the list, then I don't think each planet type requires its own page. The one thing that CyberSoul has added, which wasn't there before, are lists of location and information about instances of those planet types. Does that addition warrant the re-creation of the individual pages? I'm not certain, but I currently lean towards no - however, perhaps it would be appropriate to have a '''List of Ruby Worlds''' and similar pages with that information in a more wikified type table (something along the lines of [[User:Jacius/Planets]] maybe or an expansion of the table at [[Rainbow World]] with columns for the additional planetary data). The downside to this proposal for me is where do we draw the line of inclusion, in other words how do we choose which planet types to do lists for - do we just do it for the exotic worlds? --[[User:Fyzixfighter|Fyzixfighter]] 17:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
::::I have a counter-proposal: Discard CyberSoul's recent work and create new pages for mineral-rich worlds and for bio-rich worlds. This information is too useful to leave off the wiki. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 19:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

::::Starting with the gem types, I had found the information very useful in game, and I could easily identify where to put it by analogy with Rainbow Worlds, so those pages were born. But as my capability to mine and use the data progressed, I sort of agree with Shiver. Indeed, I played with making in game decisions based on the data, moving to using either a planet-base view or a systems-based view (ala RPRG). The planet based view is much better, because player time is an important factor, and armed with a map you can find a good route to quickly hit all the good planets in multiple nearby systems. So a list of top X planets by mineral and bio yield is most likely a good idea, and X=100 seems to work well when I look at the resulting lists. Mid-to-late game those are great lists, and I can generate them quite easily. But they are not as good early game, when you don't have the technology to legitimately access hostile worlds, and you can't afford to go half-way across the map to find good planets. Thus I developed the capability to filter by risk and location, so I also propose lists for the top low-risk planets near Sol, top 50 mineral and top 30 bio seem to work well. -- [[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 03:44, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Quasi-Degenerate worlds might not deserve their own page if the highest mineral yield on any of them is only 1625 RUs. I don't feel too strongly about this, and will wait to see what other admins say. --[[User:Shiver|Shiver]] 20:23, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
:I won't defend it much, but they do carry only exotic minerals, so 1625 RU fits in just 65 cargo space. But Pellucids have only exotics too, and I would agree that they don't deserve a page (unless all types do). "Only" and 1625 RU together puzzles me though, as the 90% percentile for mineral yield on a single planet is 913 RU. Wow, and just for fun the 50% percentile is only 150 RU. --[[User:CyberSoul|CyberSoul]] 00:21, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

List of planet types

2011-03-27T18:01:33Z

CyberSoul: add link to quasi-degenerate planet list

There are many '''types of planets''' in the universe. All planets of the same type are similar in color, mineral types, and general conditions (such as atmosphere and seismic activity). Moons, which only occur around large rocky planet types and Gas Giants, are limited to the small rocky world types.{{ref|1}}

==Types of planets==
===Acid===
'''Acid Worlds''' are rich in common minerals, with heavy deposits of formic, hydrochloric, hydrocyanic, nitric, phosphoric, and sulfuric acids. They appear green from space with a green and brown surface.

===Alkali===
'''Alkali Worlds''' are rich in alkali base metals, with medium deposits of strontium, barium, and calcium. They appear green from space, with blotches of teal and blue on the surface. In [[Sol]], [[Titan]] is an Alkali World.May support some life.

===Auric===
'''Auric Worlds''' have the equivalent of three huge deposits of gold available for collection on them. They appear yellow from space. They often support life.

===Azure===
'''Azure Worlds''' feature light deposits of indium, vanadium, and molybdenum. They appear blue from space, with a blue, heavily cratered surface from orbit. Life may be found on an Azure world.

===Carbide===
'''Carbide Worlds''' are rich in carbon, a common element, with three heavy deposits' worth. They appear red from space and have a bright red and pink surface.

===Chlorine===
'''Chlorine Worlds''' feature very heavy deposits of both pure chlorine and hydrochloric acids, with light deposits of zinc and trace deposits of gallium. They appear green from space.

===Chondrite===
'''Chondrite Worlds''' feature heavy deposits of ethanol and free radicals. They appear violet from space, and blue, violet, and black from orbit.May support a few lifeforms.

===Cimmerian===
'''Cimmerian Worlds''' have midsize deposits of methane, ammonia, methanol, and lithium. They appear red from space and have a dark purple and red-brown surface.

===Copper===
'''Copper Worlds''' are made of pure copper, and feature the equivalent of two huge deposits of copper. They appear green from space.

===Crimson===
'''Crimson Worlds''' feature light deposits of barium, boron, beryllium, bismuth, and bromine. Life may be present on a Crimson world. They appear red from space, and have a heavily cratered red surface.

===Cyanic===
'''Cyanic Worlds''' appear green from space, and have dark green surfaces. They usually have huge quantities of Cyano-acetylene. In [[Sol]], [[Ganymede]] is a Cyanic World.

===Dust===
'''Dust Worlds''' have light deposits of bismuth, aluminum, and potassium. They appear red from space and have a dark red surface with blotches of pink and brown. Their surface is composed of silicate and metal oxides. Their thin atmosphere occasionally supports minimal ecosystems. [[Mars]], in the [[Sol]] system, is a Dust World, as is the [[Druuge]] [[Zeta Persei I|homeworld]].

===Emerald===
'''Emerald Worlds''' appear green from space, and have bright green crystal-patterned surfaces. They are rich in exotic minerals, with medium deposits of antimatter and huge deposits of Aguuti nodules.

''Main page'': [[Emerald World]]

===Fluorescent===
'''Fluorescent Worlds''' have huge quantities of technetium and neon, and light quantities of radon. They appear violet from space.

===Gas Giant===
'''Gas Giants''' get their name from the fact that they are incredibly large planets composed of gases. Because they are made of gas, [[The Flagship]] cannot land on them or collect minerals from them (though there has been some discussion regarding the harvesting of the upper atmospheric layers of such planets with immense "scoop-ships"). They do, however, often have many moons. The only known instance of intelligent life evolving inside a Gas Giant are the [[Slylandro]]. Gas giants come in a variety of colors, and feature a distinctive striped pattern visible from orbit. In the [[Sol]] system, [[Jupiter]], [[Saturn]], [[Uranus]] and [[Neptune]] are Gas Giants. Moons are never Gas Giants.

===Green===
'''Green Worlds''' have heavy deposits of praseodymium and neodymium. They also can support life. They of course appear green from space, and have a heavily-cratered teal-green surface.

===Halide===
'''Halide Worlds''' feature medium deposits of the corrosive halide elements bromine (two deposits), fluorine, and iodine, and the radioactive halide astatine. Some can support life. They appear green from space and their surface is teal, green, brown, and grey. In [[Sol]], [[Europa]] is a Halide World.

===Hydrocarbon===
'''Hydrocarbon Worlds''' are planets with huge deposits of hydrocarbons (considered common) and have light quantaties of the base metal tantalum and trace amounts of bismuth. They often support life. They appear blue from space, with a dark blue and dark violet surface. Effectively, they are [[#Water|Water Worlds]] with hydrocarbon compounds instead of water.

===Infrared===
'''Infrared Worlds''' feature large deposits of mercury. They appear red from space and have a light brown and red surface. They can support life.

===Iodine===
'''Iodine Worlds''' feature some base metals and corrosive elements, especially Iodine. They appear green from space and have a heavily-cratered yellow-green surface.

===Lanthanide===
'''Lanthanide Worlds''' are worlds composed of the heavy rare earth elements. They are rich in elements like ytterbium, cerium, and lanthanum. They appear yellow from space and have high tectonics.

===Magma===
'''Magma Worlds''' are worlds with a very thin crust, and experience extremely frequent earthquakes as a result of the motion of the mantle. They normally have a moderate amount of base metals, and appear as large red planets from space.

===Magnetic===
'''Magnetic Worlds''' have ferromagnetic metals, especially nickel and niobium, and a small amount of exotic magnetic monopoles. They appear green from space and have a brown-green surface. Their strong magnetic fields cause the manifestation of vicious lightning storms.

===Maroon===
'''Maroon Worlds''' have base metals and common minerals. They appear red from space, and have a heavily-cratered red-violet surface.

===Metal (Metallic)===
'''Metal Worlds''' or '''Metallic Worlds''' are rich in all sorts of metals, including precious metals, corrosives, and base metals. When they are hot enough, they appear red-orange from space, and have a heavily-cratered yellow and orange surface. If they are not so hot, they appear gray from space, with a shiny cratered gray surface. In [[Sol]], [[Mercury]] is a Metal World. Usually found in the first or second orbital position, these worlds are the cores of burnt planets, occasionally having a dangerously high gravity, and usually prone to lightning storms. They may support a few lifeforms.

===Noble===
'''Noble Worlds''' are rich in noble gases, sometimes also having small deposits of common Helium. They appear blue from space, with a dark blue surface covered in large blotches of light blue.May sometimes support life.

===Oolite===
'''Oolite Worlds''' have moderate deposits of rare earth metals as well as small levels of precious metals. They appear purple from space and a cratered, purple and violet surface is revealed in orbit. The Oolite World closest to [[Sol]] is Alpha Ptolemae VI.

===Opalescent===
'''Opalescent Worlds''' feature rare earth metals, noble gases, and base metals. They appear cyan from space, and have a sea-green surface.

===Organic===
'''Organic Worlds''' feature organic compounds, common minerals like carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, and free radicals. While these sort of chemicals are related to life, there may or may not be alien life forms on an Organic world. Organic worlds appear cyan from space.

===Pellucid===
'''Pellucid Worlds''' are less opaque than most, and usually have very small amounts of exotic minerals, typically [[Tzo Crystal]]s, if any minerals at all. They appear violet from space, with pastel violets and blues on the surface. In [[Sol]], [[Pluto]] and [[Callisto]] are Pellucid worlds.

===Plutonic===
'''Plutonic Worlds''' are geologically active, but have little vulcanism. Therefore, most rocks there formed deep beneath the crust, and frequently contain large deposits of base, rare earth, and radioactive metals. These uncommon worlds are large and yellow, when viewed from space, and have orange-yellow, red, and brown surfaces.

===Primordial===
'''Primordial Worlds''' have common minerals and base metals. They appear green from space and their surface is many shades of green. These planets are large and rocky, composed of a core of metal and a crust of silicate. Their atmosphere is composed of a super-thick layer of carbon dioxide at extremely hot temperatures. In [[Sol]], [[Venus]] is a Primordial World. The [[Ilwrath]] homeworld is also a Primordial World.

===Purple===
'''Purple Worlds''' have some base metals. They appear violet from space with a heavily-cratered purple surface.

===Quasi-Degenerate===
'''Quasi-Degenerate Worlds''' often have some exotic Degenerate Matter. They appear green from space and have a dark-green surface.

''Main page'': [[Quasi-Degenerate World]]

===Radioactive===
'''Radioactive Worlds''' possess good deals of radioactive minerals. Although they give a nice reward, they are fairly hard to find. They appear bright orange from space, and have a brilliant pink and orange surface. The radioactive substances are either the result of an atypical gas composition of the atmosphere or unusual mantle convection processes. In [[Sol]], [[Io]] is a Radioactive World.

===Rainbow===
'''Rainbow Worlds''' are "worlds whose radiant energies defy all scanners producing a rainbow-like image".

''Main page'': [[Rainbow World]]

===Redux (Reduction)===
'''Redux Worlds''' or '''Reduction Worlds''' have base metals and corrosive minerals like Oxygen, Chlorine, and Sulfur. They appear green from space, and have a very dark green surface with medium pale brown splotches. The atmosphere of these planets consists of methane and ammonia rather than oxygen. The [[VUX]], [[Zoq-Fot-Pik]] and [[Burvixese]] homeworlds are Redux Worlds.

===Ruby===
'''Ruby Worlds''' are a very rare type of planet, covered with the coveted exotic minerals, especially Neutronium and [[Tzo Crystal]]s. Two prominent Ruby Worlds have a hellish surface temperature and lack an atmosphere. They appear red from space, and have a crystal-patterned surface visible from orbit.

''Main page'': [[Ruby World]]

===Sapphire===
'''Sapphire Worlds''' appear cyan from space, and have bright blue crystal-patterned surfaces. They are rich in exotic minerals, such as Super Fluids and Reisburg Helices. The [[Chenjesu]] [[Procyon II|homeworld]] is a Sapphire World.

''Main page'': [[Sapphire World]]

===Selenic===
'''Selenic Worlds''' are similar in most respects to our moon, and feature base metals like Selenium, Calcium, and Aluminum. They appear grey from space and have a heavily cratered grey surface. In [[Sol]], [[Luna]] is a Selenic world.

===Shattered===
'''Shattered''' are former Water or Telluric Worlds that had their crusts shattered by the [[Mycon]] [[Deep Child]]ren. They appear orange from space, and have black surfaces with orange lava rivers across it. They usually have very large quantities of base metals, precious and radioactive minerals, but also have very hostile tectonic conditions, often close to class 8. All of the known Shattered Worlds are located in Mycon space.

''Main page'': [[Shattered World]]

===Super-Dense===
'''Super-Dense Worlds''', as their name implies, feature very dense base metals such as Lead. Their high density causes seismic instability and heavy gravity, making them dangerous and expensive to land on. They appear violet from space and have a dark violet and dark teal surface.

===Telluric===
'''Telluric Worlds''' have precious and base metals. They can support life. They appear blue from space but have a white, brown, and pale blue surface, looking very similar to Water Worlds. [[Eta Vulpeculae II]], the adopted homeworld of the [[Androsynth]], is a Telluric World. As is the [[Umgah]] homeworld.

===Treasure===
'''Treasure Worlds''' are ''rich'' in precious minerals like Gold and Silver. They appear yellow from space with a somewhat shiny gray surface with golden patches.

===Ultramarine===
'''Ultramarine Worlds''' are rich in rare earth minerals like Holmium, and sometimes feature life. They appear blue from space, and very dark blue from orbit, with a cratered surface.

===Ultraviolet===
'''Ultraviolet Worlds''' have high concentrations of precious metals, moderate levels of corrosives and common elements, and trace amounts of base metals. They appear violet from space and have purple and violet surface features when viewed from orbit. One such world can be found at the first planet of the Gamma Centauri system.

===Urea===
'''Urea Worlds''' have some common minerals like Ammonia, and can support life. They appear yellow from space, and have a heavily cratered, dull golden surface.

===Vinylogous===
'''Vinylogous Worlds''' have base metals and common minerals. They appear violet from space and have a dull lavender surface. In [[Sol]], [[Triton]] is a Vinylogous World.

===Water===
'''Water Worlds''' are planetary bodies in which the majority of the surface is covered in water (or ice or vapours). They are uncommon in the galaxy. When found within more moderate orbits, however, they have a higher chance of having life evolve on them. Many of the advanced races' homeworlds are water worlds, including [[Earth]], [[Spathiwa]], and [[Gaia]]. The [[Mycon]] favor these planets as targets for their [[Deep Child|Deep Children]], who transform them into Shattered Worlds.

Water worlds typically are rich in base metals, though rare deposits of radioactive and corrosive metals can sometimes be found on the more degenerate water worlds. They appear blue from space with a dark blue (cold) or blue (moderate temperature) or maroon (high temperature, e. g. Zeta Volantis IV) surface with white clouds and brown/yellow land masses.

===Xenolithic===
'''Xenolithic Worlds''' have scattered deposits of precious metals with trace amounts of base metals. They appear cyan from space and have a teal and grey surface when viewed from orbit. Once such world is Delta Centauri II.

===Yttric===
'''Yttric Worlds''' are worlds composed of Yttrium and Ytterbium. They hold rare earth metals and base metals. They appear violet from space and and have a lavender surface with dull cyan splotches.

They do, however, often have many moons. The only known instance of intelligent life evolving inside a Gas Giant are the [[Slylandro]]. Gas giants come in a variety of colors, and feature a distinctive striped pattern visible from orbit. In the [[Sol]] system, [[Jupiter]], [[Saturn]], [[Uranus]] and [[Neptune]] are Gas Giants. Moons are never Gas Giants.

===Green===
'''Green Worlds''' have heavy deposits of praseodymium and neodymium. They also can support life. They of course appear green from space, and have a heavily-cratered teal-green surface.

===Halide===
'''Halide Worlds''' feature medium deposits of the corrosive halide elements bromine (two deposits), fluorine, and iodine, and the radioactive halide astatine. Some can support life. They appear green from space and their surface is teal, green, brown, and grey. In [[Sol]], [[Europa]] is a Halide World.

===Hydrocarbon===
'''Hydrocarbon Worlds''' are planets with huge deposits of hydrocarbons (considered common) and have light quantaties of the base metal tantalum and trace amounts of bismuth. They often support life. They appear blue from space, with a dark blue and dark violet surface. Effectively, they are [[#Water|Water Worlds]] with hydrocarbon compounds instead of water.

The radioactive substances are either the result of an atypical gas composition of the atmosphere or unusual mantle convection processes. In [[Sol]], [[Io]] is a Radioactive World.

===Rainbow===
'''Rainbow Worlds''' are "worlds whose radiant energies defy all scanners producing a rainbow-like image".

===Redux (Reduction)===
'''Redux Worlds''' or '''Reduction Worlds''' have base metals and corrosive minerals like Oxygen, Chlorine, and Sulfur. They appear green from space, and have a very dark green surface with medium pale brown splotches. The atmosphere of these planets consists of methane and ammonia rather than oxygen. The [[VUX]], [[Zoq-Fot-Pik]] and [[Burvixese]] homeworlds are Redux Worlds.

===Ruby===
'''Ruby Worlds''' are a very rare type of planet, covered with the coveted exotic minerals, especially Neutronium and [[Tzo Crystal]]s. Two prominent Ruby Worlds have a hellish surface temperature and lack an atmosphere. They appear red from space, and have a crystal-patterned surface visible from orbit.

''Main page'': [[Ruby World]]

===Sapphire===
'''Sapphire Worlds''' appear cyan from space, and have bright blue crystal-patterned surfaces. They are rich in exotic minerals, such as Super Fluids and Reisburg Helices. The [[Chenjesu]] [[Procyon II|homeworld]] is a Sapphire World.

''Main page'': [[Sapphire World]]

All of the known Shattered Worlds are located in Mycon space.

''Main page'': [[Shattered World]]

===Super-Dense===

===Telluric===
'''Telluric Worlds''' have precious and base metals. They can support life. They appear blue from space but have a white, brown, and pale blue surface, looking very similar to Water Worlds. [[Eta Vulpeculae II]], the adopted homeworld of the [[Androsynth]], is a Telluric World. As is the [[Umgah]] homeworld.

===Treasure===
'''Treasure Worlds''' are ''rich'' in precious minerals like Gold and Silver. They appear yellow from space with a somewhat shiny gray surface with golden patches.

===Water===
'''Water Worlds''' are planetary bodies in which the majority of the surface is covered in water (or ice or vapours). They are uncommon in the galaxy. When found within more moderate orbits, however, they have a higher chance of having life evolve on them. Many of the advanced races' homeworlds are water worlds, including [[Earth]], [[Spathiwa]], and [[Gaia]]. The [[Mycon]] favor these planets as targets for their [[Deep Child|Deep Children]], who transform them into Shattered Worlds.

Water worlds typically are rich in base metals, though rare deposits of radioactive and corrosive metals can sometimes be found on the more degenerate water worlds. They appear blue from space with a dark blue (cold) or blue (moderate temperature) or maroon (high temperature, e. g. Zeta Volantis IV) surface with white clouds and brown/yellow land masses.
