The universe of Farsite is divided into sections and sub-sections, just like the actual space. Constellations are groups of stars in the universe that contain stars, star systems have many planets to be explored by players, planets are the primary source of materials such as ores and minerals, and also a place to establish a base, sectors are pieces of planets’ surface which are divided into many land plots that can be acquired by players to construct bases, and extract resources. Aside from these, players also encounter space stations which are a hub for all operations in a constellation, such as trading, parking, customizing, refueling, repairing, storing, etc. Gates or gateways are the entrance points of star systems, players can use gateways to jump to another star system. The universe also has asteroids all over to be mined to collect minerals from them. Mining on an asteroid or a comet is a relatively fast way to get resources for players.
