- Extremely dense atmosphere.

- Approximately 92 times Earth's atmospheric pressure.

- Extreme heat.

- Acidic hazards.

- Atmospheric movement effects.

 

⚫ Mercury

 

The newest world in Galactic Horizons. Mercury has its own dimension, procedural terrain generation, and a brutal environment: no atmosphere, a Sun that burns by day, and a cold that freezes by night.

 

Mercurian Biomes

 

💥 Cratered Terrains

 

Ancient surfaces battered by countless impacts.

 

🌊 Smooth Plains

 

Wide, flatter regions formed by old lava flows.

 

🔥 Caloris Basin

- 🪐 Approximately 38% of Earth's gravity.

 

🌡️ Mercurian Environment

 

- Approximately 430°C during the day.

- Approximately -180°C at night.

- Unfiltered solar radiation during the day.

- Radiation builds up in your body and causes nausea, weakness, wither, and eventually direct damage.

- Without protection, daytime burns you and nighttime freezes you.

- The Basic Spacesuit is NOT enough: it protects you from the vacuum, not from Mercury's temperatures.

- Only the Reinforced Spacesuit, the Star Armor, or a pressurized spaceship cabin will keep you alive.

 

⛏️ Mercurian Resources

 

On Mercury you can find:

 

- Silicon

- Iron (much more common than on other worlds)

- Titanium

- Copper

- Gold

- Diamond

 

The ores also have deeper variants.

 

🚀 Tier 2 Spaceship

 

The Tier 2 Spaceship is designed to withstand the extreme atmospheric conditions of Venus and expands the technological progression of Galactic Horizons.

 

A Level 1 Spaceship is not designed for Venusian atmospheric conditions.

 

🛡️ Reinforced Spacesuit

 

After exploring the Moon and Mars, you can use the resources found on these worlds to craft the Reinforced Spacesuit.

 

The Reinforced Spacesuit provides additional protection against the environmental conditions encountered during space exploration and is required for the most extreme worlds, such as Venus and Mercury.

 

☀️ The Sun

 

The Sun is also an explorable celestial body.

 

Unlike the planets, the Sun contains multiple layers:

 

- 🔥 Corona

- 🟠 Plasma

- ⭐ Solar Core

 

The Sun has extreme heat, pressure, and its own gravity.

 

Approaching it without adequate protection can cause severe damage.

 

The interior of the Sun can also be explored, allowing you to reach its core.

 

⭐ Star Core

 

The Sun's core contains the resource required to craft the most advanced armor in the addon.

 

When a Sun Core is processed in a Crafting Table:

 

1x Sun Core → 9x Star Core Shards

 

⭐ Star Core Ingot

 

Crafting recipe:

 

4x Star Core Shards + 4x Diamonds

 

Produces:

 

1x Star Core Ingot

 

🧩 Star Upgrade Template

 

To craft the Star Armor, you first need to obtain the Star Upgrade Template.

 

The template can be found inside UFO wreckages that appear in the Overworld.

 

These wreckages are rare events that can appear at a distance from the player.

 

Their chests contain the Star Upgrade Template, along with possible additional resources.

 

🌟 Star Armor

 

The Star Armor is crafted using a Smithing Table.

 

Each piece requires:

 

Star Upgrade Template + Netherite armor piece + Star Core Ingot

 

The Star Armor provides special properties designed for extreme environments.

 

The complete set includes fire resistance, additional damage resistance, knockback resistance, and the ability to ignite attackers.

 

🧭 Tracker

 

The Tracker allows you to check the celestial bodies available in the system.

 

When used, the Tracker allows you to view registered celestial bodies and their navigation information.

 

🗺️ Star Charts

 

Galactic Horizons also features a Star Charts system.

 

Star Charts act as records of celestial coordinates.

 

When a Star Chart is used, its corresponding system is registered in the Tracker, allowing its information to be accessed later.

 

🚀 Space Travel

 

Outer space has its own dimension:

 

"gh:outer_space"

 

From there, you can travel between the available celestial bodies.

 

The travel system also preserves the spaceship during transitions, allowing players and passengers to travel together.

 

The addon includes arrival and re-entry systems designed to prevent the player from losing the spaceship during dimensional transitions.

 

🌌 Outer Space

 

The space dimension features:

 

- 🌑 Outer-space vacuum.

- ⭐ Starfield.

- 🌍 Earth.

- ⚫ Mercury.

- 🟠 Venus.

- 🌕 Moon.

- 🔴 Mars.

- ☀️ Sun.

- 🌌 Space fog.

- 🛰️ Navigation system.

- 🪐 Celestial-body-specific gravity.

- ✨ Particles and environmental effects.

- 🚀 Planetary travel system.

 

Earth, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars, and the Sun are represented as celestial bodies in space.

 

🌪️ Martian Dust Storms

 

Mars features dynamic dust storms.

 

Storms can move across the terrain, increasing dust and reducing visibility through the fog.

 

Storm intensity changes according to location and time, meaning different regions can experience different conditions.

 

🧊 Extraterrestrial Survival

 

Exploring other worlds is not simply a matter of traveling to a new dimension.

 

Galactic Horizons features its own systems for:

 

- Oxygen

- Temperature

- Gravity

- Heat

- Cold

- Solar radiation

- Pressure

- Airless environments

- Dust storms

- Environmental effects

 

Proper equipment is essential for survival.

 

The Basic Spacesuit allows you to handle the basic environments of the addon, while the Reinforced Spacesuit provides additional protection for more extreme situations such as Venus and Mercury.

 

The Star Armor is designed to withstand the extreme conditions found inside the Sun.
