Star Guide

The in-game progression guide — a pedestal, a book, and a live quest tree.

Overview#

The Star Guide is Nerospace's built-in tutorial and progression tracker: an interactive tree of 8 chapters and 35 steps, from your first nerosium ore to a fully matured terraformed world. Completion is tracked per player through the mod's advancement tree, so the guide is always live — finish something anywhere and the tree lights up.

Obtaining#

Star Guide Book (shapeless): Book + Raw Nerosium — available minutes into a playthrough.

Star Guide pedestal (shaped):

. R .
. P .
S S S

R = Raw Nerosium · P = any Planks · S = Cobblestone

How it works#

• Read anywhere: right-click with the Star Guide Book in hand to open the guide GUI.

• Pedestal: right-click the empty pedestal with the book to install it (lectern-style; breaking

  the pedestal or sneak-right-clicking pops the book back out). An installed pedestal projects a rotating hologram of your next goal, and right-clicking it opens the same GUI.

• The tree: chapters cover **Nerosium → Machines → Power Grid → Rocketry → New Worlds →

  Mining → Surviving Vacuum → Terraforming**. Completed steps pulse; each step carries guide text telling you exactly what to do next.

• Mining chapter: the quarry automation track — Quarry Landmark →

  Frame Casing → Quarry Controller → Upgrade Modules. Gated behind nerosteel (Greenxertz), since the frame is built from it.

• Comparator: the pedestal emits a signal when a book is installed.
