Stellar Scanner is a lightweight, mobile-friendly utility designed for No Man's Sky explorers. It deconstructs the procedural "Stellar Class" strings (e.g., B5pf, O2e) found in the Galactic Map to provide instant intelligence on star temperature, required hyperdrive technology, planet biomes, and resource availability.
- Framework: React 18 (Vite)
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Logic: Deterministic Regex-based Parsing
- Design: Mobile-first Responsive UI
- Real-time Analysis: UI reactively updates its theme (colors/borders) to match the star's color class as you type.
- Hyperdrive Guidance: Instantly identifies if you need a Cadmium, Emeril, or Indium drive to warp.
-
Biome Projection: Uses the heat index (
$0-9$ ) to predict dominant planet types (Scorched, Lush, or Frozen). -
Suffix Decoding: *
f: Water detection for aquatic exploration.-
p: Peculiarity detection for anomalous/glitch planets. -
e/m: Resource spikes for rare metallic yields.
-
- Scanner Aesthetic: A high-contrast "Terminal" interface designed for second-screen use while gaming.
The app parses the three core components of a Star's identity found in the Galactic Map:
- The Class (Letter): Determines the spectral color and the specific Chromatic Metal found native to the system.
- The Heat Index (Number): A scale where 0 is the hottest and 9 is the coolest.
- 0–3: High probability of Scorched/Desert worlds.
- 4–6: High probability of Lush/Tropical worlds (The "Goldilocks" zone).
- 7–9: High probability of Frozen/Tundra worlds.
- The Oddities (Suffixes): Procedural flags that modify the system's contents, such as the presence of oceans or orbital anomalies.
