and generate them automatically only when the player flies there, and save the parameters by proximity if the player has not landed on this planet, and so this information can be stored on servers, theoretically:
- Exoplanet: 4 gigabytes
- Normal planet: 2 gigabytes
- Pluto-type object: 900 megabytes (0.9 gigabytes)
- Moon: 1.5 gigabytes
- Sun: 900 megabytes (0.9 gigabytes)
- Orbit: 100 megabytes (0.1 gigabytes)
- Data on the number of objects:
-
Total stars: 200 billion (200 * 10^9)
-
Exoplanets: 40 billion (40 * 10^9)
-
Normal planets: 1.5 planets per star. Total: (200 * 10^9 * 1.5 = 300 * 10^9 ) planets
-
Pluto-like objects: Let’s say one per star. Total: 200 billion (200 * 10^9)
-
Moons: Let’s say one moon per planet and exoplanet. Total: (40 * 10^9 + 300 * 10^9 = 340 * 10^9 ) moons
-
Sun: One sun per star. Total: 200 billion (200 * 10^9)
-
Orbits: One per star, planet, exoplanet, moon, and Pluto-like object.
-
Exoplanet data: ( 40 * 10^9 ) * 4 GB
-
Normal planet data: ( 300 * 10^9 ) * 2 GB
-
Pluto-type data: ( 200 * 10^9 ) * 0.9 GB
-
Moon data: ( 340 * 10^9 ) * 1.5 GB
-
Sun data: ( 200 * 10^9 ) * 0.9 GB
-
Orbit data: ( (200 * 10^9 + 300 * 10^9 + 40 * 10^9 + 340 * 10^9 + 200 * 10^9) * 0.1 GB )
-
Exoplanets: ( 40 * 10^9 * 4 = 160 * 10^9 ) GB
-
Normal planets: ( 300 * 10^9 * 2 = 600 * 10^9 ) GB
-
Pluto-type objects: ( 200 * 10^9 * 0.9 = 180 * 10^9 ) GB
-
Moons: ( 340 * 10^9 * 1.5 = 510 * 10^9 ) GB
-
Suns: ( 200 * 10^9 * 0.9 = 180 * 10^9 ) GB
-
Orbits: ( 1080 * 10^9 * 0.1 = 108 * 10^9 ) GB
Summing up the data
( 160 * 10^9 + 600 * 10^9 + 180 * 10^9 + 510 * 10^9 + 180 * 10^9 + 108 * 10^9 = 1738 * 10^9 ) GB
So the total data size will be 1738 petabytes (1 petabyte = 10^6 gigabytes).
So roughly if players explore the entire galaxy on servers it will take approximately 1738 petabytes.
