TextSpaced: An infinite and shared text-based universe.

Bodies

Each different body type in TextSpaced provides different opportunities and often different effects during spatial comabt and hunting. Understanding the body type provides a key tactical advantage. Please note, this list does not include bodies that are considered spoilers.

Any planet that you can build ground structures on, you can found a settlement that will eventually grow into a colony and ultimately its own civilisation.
