Gravity Well: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 01:24, 18 April 2025

Gravity Wells are a game mechanic on Horizon's End.

A gravity well is generated either by a static body of mass, such as a star or planet, or by a ship or NPC nest.

All stars, and Horizon, have a gravity well with a radius of 1800.

All planets have a gravity well with a radius of 1000.

NPC nests generate a gravity well with a radius of 1500.

Alien "Watcher" NPCs, Teraliths and Verdoliths spawned by the nest generate a gravity well with a radius of 2400.

Ship well radius is determined by a formula.

Civilian Ships

((3000 / sqrt(12000)) * sqrt(block count)) / 2

Warships

(3000 / sqrt(12000)) * sqrt(block count)

Starfighters, Interceptors, Shuttles, Speeders, and Platforms are incapable of creating a gravity well.
