New Beginnings Euclid Empty galaxy Ancestral

Holographic display of an Empty galaxy

Empty galaxy is a galaxy type.

Summary[ | ]

Empty galaxy is a galaxy type.

Players who choose to reset the simulation into an Ancestral, Frozen, Exhausted, or Silent galaxy during the New Beginnings primary mission will start again in an Empty galaxy. This option is displayed with a blue hologram.

Biome probabilities[ | ]

Likast 1 Yellow Exotic

Likast 1 has Wire Cell type Exotic biome and located in a yellow star system (Visions)

When visiting a certain galaxy type, the probabilities of discovering various planet biomes are as follows. Meaning of the line "All" is not yet known, but the most likely explanation is that the probabilities for Biome types of these colored stars (Red, Green, & Blue) do not change based on Galaxy type.

Due to the harsh galaxy missing, the speculation is that this galaxy type is like the norm galaxy, but with more storms.

The values in the table could be interpreted as per the following:

  • 4 - Very high chance
  • 3 - High chance
  • 2 - Normal chance
  • 1 - Low chance
  • 0 - Very low chance

Convert Dead To Weird[ | ]

Convert Dead To Weird is a property with a value of 0.5.

It was added in the Visions update that introduced new Weird (Exotic) biomes by converting previously existing Dead biomes.

Due to this change there is a higher chance to find these biomes, even in yellow star systems as well.

List of Empty galaxies[ | ]

The following numbered galaxies belong to this type: 7, 12, 27, 32, 47, 52, 67 etc, a total of 26. [1]

Note: Galaxy subtypes vary depending on both player and location.[2] For example, Budullangr may display as Ancestral when viewed from Hilbert, Silent when viewed from Euclid, and Exhausted when viewed from Hyades.
