Hello, Yorven here. This is a draft for a page on the Galaxy of Fame. Is this an appropriate topic for the wiki, given it isn't really an in-game feature and is contained to the website? The images are temps.
Hello, Yorven here. I've been playing since 0.18 and have a habit of over-complicating everything.

{{About/Space age}}
The [https://factorio.com/galaxy| Galaxy of Fame] is a feature available upon beating Factorio:[[Space Age]]. It is a database of saves that have beaten the expansion, able to be viewed on the Factorio website. It appears as a vast galaxy of stars of all size and colors. Each star belongs to one particular player who has beaten Space Age. Clicking on a star will bring up a snapshot of that player's save.
 
After reaching the [[solar system edge]]{{SA}} and viewing the victory screen, the player will be invited to upload a snapshot of their save to the Galaxy of Fame. Only one snapshot can be uploaded per player; uploading a new snapshot will override the previous one. The player can also include a custom name and comment. After uploading, the game will provide a link to the player's snapshot on the Factorio website.
 
After winning, the "Galaxy of Fame" button will appear on the main menu. Clicking it will allow the player to upload a new snapshot, or click the link to the existing snapshot.
 
== Snapshot ==

The Galaxy of Fame includes the following information:
* A custom name & comment (optional)
* The date of upload
* Time played
* Game version
* Map seed
* Player count
* List of mods
** This includes both the four mandatory mods (Base, Elevated Rails, Quality, and Space Age) and any user-created mods.
* Map views of the five planets, in the order they were visited
* Map views of all [[space platform]]s{{SA}}, in the order they were created
* A full list of the number of all items produced
* A full list of the amount of energy produced by each [[power production|power source]]
* A full list of the number of kills, including all [[asteroids|asteroid]] varieties
 
== Star Position ==
The position, color, and size of a player's star is randomized. Given the vast number of stars in the galaxy, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to locate your own on the map by searching manually.
 
The coordinates for each star is located within the URL to the snapshot that is provided upon upload. As an example, the following is the coordinates for the snapshot of lead developer Kovarex:
 
Iron I: Alpha 1-1.A1W3
 
==== Quadrant ====
 
The first word of the URL, named after an item, designates a quadrant within the galaxy, located to the top right, top left, bottom left, and bottom right of the galaxy center. They are named, respectively, Iron, Quantum, Sulfur, and Calcite. The number after the quadrant name designates how far it is from the galaxy center. The four closest quadrants, containing the majority of stars, are Iron 1, Quantum 2, Sulfur 4, and Calcite 3.
The names of quadrants as they are currently known, is structured like this.
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Quantum 3 || Quantum 4 || Iron 3 || Iron 4
|-
| Quantum 1 || Quantum 2 || Iron 1 || Iron 2
|-
| Sulfur 3 || Sulfur 4 || Calcite 3 || Calcite 4
|-
| Sulfur 1 || Sulfur 2 || Calcite 1 || Calcite 2
|}
 
==== Sector ====
 
The second word, named after a letter of the Greek alphabet, designates a sector within a quadrant. Each quadrant contains 9 sectors. Their position within the quadrants are structured as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| Eta || Theta || Iota
|-
| Delta || Epsilon || Zeta
|-
| Alpha || Beta || Gamma
|}
 
The two numbers after the sector name designate the star's location within the sector. Each number can go between 1 and 7. The first number increases from left to right, while the second increases from bottom to top. The two of them together position the star within a neighborhood in the sector. For example, a number of 1-1 designates a position within the bottom left of its sector; 1-7 in the top left, and so on.
 
==== Exact position ====
 
Following the dot, the final pair of letter-number sets designates the exact position within a neighborhood. Letters go from A to G (the first letter) and T to Z (the second), and increase from left to right. The first letter will only be advanced by one when the second letter advances through all 26 letters. For example, A1Z1 comes before B1Y1. Numbers once again go between 1 and 7 and increase from bottom to top. The same rule from letters applies to numbers.
 
As a final example, a coordinate of Quantum 2: Gamma 5-1 A7Z1 will give a position as follows:
* Bottom right of Quantum 2 quadrant
* Bottom middle of Gamma sector
 
== History ==
{{history|2.0.10|
* Galaxy of fame. Offered when the game is finished.
