Planets

There are many different planets, asteroid belts, moons, and star systems within GTNH. To reach them, launch a rocket into space and select a destination on the galaxy map. Some destinations (e.g. moons and space stations) only appear when zoomed into the host planet's orbit. Confirming the location then instantly teleports you to the planet at some very high altitude and inside a lander that carries you down to the surface. The rocket and launch pads are retrieved from the lander upon a complete stop, but sometimes it bugs out and never fully stops. If that happens, place a hopper underneath the lander to retrieve the items. Later on, use the Space Elevator to travel to other planets without any rocket fuel.

The tier of a planet (visible in NEI) determines the minimum tier rocket needed to travel there. For example, a T2 rocket or better is required to reach any T2 planet, such as Mars. There are 8 tiers of rockets in total so the only way to reach the last tier of planets (T9) in the Amun-Ra system is with a Mothership.

Every planet has its own set of ore veins, small ore veins, and underground fluid reservoirs (visible in NEI). Some planets also have unique features such as a specific mob that spawns, a Space Dungeon, or even abandoned structures from past civilizations. The following sections lists all relevant information for every planet with certain items highlighted BLUE to signify high importance or value (e.g. a new ore vein). Note that some planets are gas giants which means a space station must be built in their orbit before using the Planetary Gas Siphon to extract their resources.
