A single seed number is used to create these features via mathematical computation thus eliminatingthe need to create each of these features by hand.This enables the game to have a massively open nature: it is estimated that with the 32-bit seed number, Stellar Horizon virtualgalaxy will include over 4 billion planets. Any player will be able to visit a specific planet once they know its galacticcoordinates, given their spacecraft has the capability to do so, and find the same features as any other player,as these coordinates serve as the seed for the planet's topography and environment.
