Universe Sandbox Wiki
Welcome to the Official Universe Sandbox Wiki, the Official Universe Sandbox reference written and maintained by the players. Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator that allows you to create, destroy, and interact on -
Interface
This page is an overview of the user interface (UI) in Universe Sandbox. It is meant to describe the general purposes of different parts of the UI and help in finding different settings and controls -
Surface Simulation
Universe Sandbox simulates several surface properties of Planetary Body objects in two dimensions, to represent the variation in these properties across the surface of each object. The Surface view at the top of an object -
Universe Sandbox
Universe Sandbox is a game created and developed by Giant Army. It was released on Steam Early Access on August 24, 2015. Universe Sandbox is a physics-based space simulator that allows you to create -
Sim Settings Menu
This menu displays a large number of settings that affect the entire simulation. The menu can be opened by clicking the arrow in the upper right of the Sim menu in the bottom bar. The -
N-Body Simulation
The mathematical model of a group of objects moving under the influence of gravity (for example, stars and planets moving in space) is known as an N-body problem. Universe Sandbox simulates this motion using -
View Settings Menu
This menu displays a large number of settings that affect the entire simulation. The menu can be opened by clicking the arrow in the upper right of the View menu in the bottom bar. The -
Supernova
At the moment of a supernova, a bright glow will appear and a number of Supernova Cloud objects will be produced at the location of the original star, also known as the progenitor. Depending on -
Habitable Zone
The habitable zone of a star is the region around the star where the surface temperature of an orbiting planet or exoplanet would be in the right range of temperatures for water to exist as -
Keyboard Controls
A keyboard can be used to control the camera, display settings, Simulation Speed, and to add or delete objects in the simulation. These keyboard controls can be changed in the Input tab of the global -
Camera
The user views the simulation through a virtual camera. This camera can be controlled by the user to move around the simulation, zoom in and out, and change the angle at which the simulation is -
Life Likelihood
The Life Likelihood property of an object is a measure of how similar the object's habitability-related properties are to the Earth's. The Life Likelihood property is read-only and is calculated automatically -
Atmosphere
An atmosphere consists of the collection of gases that are gravitationally bound to an object. Universe Sandbox simulates the effects of an atmosphere on the physical properties of a Planetary Body. Properties[] Properties related to -
Stellar Wind
Stellar wind refers to the flow of gas particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of a star. Stellar wind from the Sun is sometimes referred to as solar wind. Universe Sandbox simulates stellar wind only -
Surface View
Surface View is a feature that automatically adjusts the visible rotation and lighting of an object so the user to clearly see its surface. This can be particularly helpful when experimenting with surface simulation. The -
Object Types
Within Universe Sandbox, objects are categorized based on their properties, particularly their mass. For performance reasons, not all simulation effects are calculated for each type of object. For example, Stellar Evolution is not simulated for -
Universe Sandbox Wiki:Administrators guide
Public wikis successfully operate on a basically democratic level. This doesn't mean that every decision is voted on, but in general, decisions on a wiki should be made by reaching a consensus whenever this -
Game Settings Menu
This menu includes a large number of settings that affect Universe Sandbox. The menu can be opened from the Home menu. For simulation-specific settings, see the Sim Settings Menu. General[] Reset Experience Settings to -
View Panel
The View Panel is located at the top of an object's properties panel, and can display one or more views of the object, depending on the object's type. There are a number of -
Galaxy Structure
A galaxy is made up of stars, gas, dust, and other material gravitationally bound together. It is believed that most if not all galaxies have a supermassive black holes at their centers. In Universe Sandbox -
Collision
A collision occurs between two objects when Universe Sandbox detects that the objects are overlapping in space during a time step. Most object types in Universe Sandbox cannot occupy the same point in space at -
Temperature Calculation
At every time step during the simulation, Universe Sandbox calculates the change in the surface temperature across the surface of every Planetary Body, Star, Black Hole, Fragment, and Human-Scale Object in the simulation. These -
Laser Tool
The Laser Tool fires a laser into the simulation in the direction of the cursor. If the laser intersects with an object with a simulated surface, the laser will impart energy into the object, heating -
Galaxy Nebula Evolution
Each Galaxy Nebula object in a Galaxy represents a collection of stars, gas, and dust, orbiting through the galaxy together. In a real galaxy, stars form from clouds of gas, and then each star evolves -
Included Simulations
Universe Sandbox includes several built-in simulations, which demonstrate a variety of simulation features and provide a starting point for experimentation and creativity. The included simulations can be found in the Home menu at Home
