Galactic Research

Galactic Research is an addon for original Galacticraft 4 or Galacticraft-Legacy

It brings new gameplay features into game.

Space research

You will have to observe and research planets with Telescope and Satellite Rocket in order to unlock them.

Place a telescope, plug some energy and find celestial objects. Your task is to find body, observe it until telescope collects data.

Then place Mission Control Station next to Telescope.

Mission Control Station has to be attached to rocket pad. Next you need to craft satellite rocket and place it on the pad, do not forget about fuel.

You can output mission status and telescope view on GC Screen Blocks

Then in MCS (Mission Control Station) select the planet to research, and activate the mission.

Press analyze completed missions button when missions are finished. Boom, you now can fly to the planet.

You can customize all the researchable bodies and other settings regarding research process in the galacticresearch.cfg

If you have Extra Planets or Galaxy Space addon you will have to research solar systems. In order to do that you need to place Communication Dish and link it to Mission Control Center. To do that you should use Frequency Module.

Solar systems will appear in MCS and to finally unlock them, you will have to send satellite rocket.

Minable asteroids and mining rocket
Sometimes there will appear random asteroids in Space. Observe them in telescope, and in MCS select the asteroid mission.

Place mining rocket on the pad and via MCS interface activate the mission. Rocket will fly to the asteroid, dig it and return back to the same pad.

You can customize many aspects of the mining process in the galacticresearch.cfg

Objects locator
MCS can be used as a locator of different objects on planet.

In order to use that functionality you need to build space station on planets orbit.

Then open MCS interface and select the station. Select object to locate and press Locate button.

Currently implemented location of:
villages, mansion, monument, temple, immersive engineering deposits, AE2 metheorites, boss dungeons

Check galacticresearch.cfg for customization

Integration with Computers
Telescope and Mission Control Station has integration with OpenComputers and Computercraft.

So you can fully automate research flow, locator and mining of asteroids.
