Planet Entry and Exit Guide

Understanding the planet entry/exit mechanics will help you navigate the galaxy easier and faster.

The purpose of this guide is to explain the mechanics surrounding planet entry and exit.

Guide

Entry

Your position upon entering a planet is determined solely by which side of the sphere in space your ship touches.

Your position on the Y plane does not affect where you appear on the planet, entering near either pole will still only consider your angle to the center of the planet.

Exiting

Your ship will exit the planet once you make a movement that puts any block of your ship above the build limit of the planet.

Your position in space is determined by your angle to the center of the planet world.

This means that if you are right at the center of the planet, small changes in your position can drastically affect where you exit the planet.

Combat

While combat tagged, you will only be allowed to enter or exit the planet once, then a 2 minute timer will start. Until 2 minutes has passed, you will not be able to enter or exit the planet again.

This does not apply to the NPC Combat tag.

Trivia

Historically, the direction you exited a planet was determined by the direction the player was facing.
