Reg_AU Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I've embarked on a little project looking at fuel economy and time saving when travelling between planets. Can anyone answer these questions please? What is the circumference or diameter of the planets ? (not interested in the moons). How fast do the planets rotate? or how long does it take to complete 1 revolution? Incidental question - Are the planets spherical or oblate spheroids like Earth?

Yoarii Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 1. Check atlas.lua in your game folder, I think that info is there. 2. Planets don't rotate. The skybox moves. 3. Spherical afaik. Lasersmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasersmith Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Quote It is notable that while the vast majority of tiles will be hexagons, due to the nature of a spherical shape, a few tiles will be pentagons in order to cover the entirety of a planet. The Wiki says that for geometrical reasons some tiles on the poles have to be pentas instead of hexes. But I have yet to encounter one of those. And it should not change the sphere, but in contrary enforce that form. https://dualuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Territory_Control?so=search Edited June 3, 2023 by Lasersmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use A=4 pi r^2 to get the radius. https://dualuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Thades https://dualuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Madis Edited June 3, 2023 by Lasersmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The `atlas.lua` file has the radius for each planet, in meters. Alioth has 126km of radius, around 1.26su total. Earth is somewhere around 12k km IIRC.
