	The maximum resource storage is determined by ~~hull size~~, ~~with a conversion of~~ 3.375, e.g. a ~~1M hull~~ will have a ~~max energy capacity~~ of 3,~~446~~,~~197~~.		The maximum resource storage is determined by the following formula: <math>clamp(Hull * R, 100000, 5000000)</math> where <math>R</math> is equal to 3.375 for Energy, Deuterium and Oxygen and 4.5 for Water.

			This means a ship will always have a minimum of 100,000 of each resource and a maximum of 5,000,000.
			This also means a 1,000,000 hull ship will not necessarily obtain the maximum amount of resources.

Stargazer is the custom life support addon for the server, all of the entities and config for Stargazer can be found in the Stargazer tool-tab.

== Overview ==

The heart of Stargazer is the Stargazer Node (stargazer_node), which links various entities to it. Unlike other life support addons, there is no storage, and only one way to generate energy. All Stargazer entities can be controlled via wiremod.

== Energy Core ==

The Energy Core (stargazer_energy_core) is the only way to generate energy (barring the admin core), though it can produce more energy if given Deuterium. Interacting with it will toggle the state.

== Water Core ==

The Water Core (stargazer_water_core) collects water which only serves to generate Oxygen and Deuterium via the Refinement Core. To generate water you must interact with it to spawn the collector, which if placed will generate water (if placed in a water/lava source). There is a range on the collector to the Water Core, they must be in relative proximity. The Water Core requires some energy to operate, so it is critical that you have the Energy Core placed and operational first.

== Refinement Core ==

The Refinement Core (stargazer_refinement_core) takes water and splits it into Oxygen and Deuterium, the Oxygen is used in Life Support, and Deuterium is used to increase the energy production from the Energy Core

== Life Support Controller ==

The Life Support Controller (stargazer_ls_controller) will provide life support to your ship, so long as its welded to a ship with a Ship Core. It will provide an artificial gravity, as well as allowing players to survive in space.

== TSCM Entities ==

Most TSCM entities require energy from Stargazer, such as [[Shields]] and [[Transporters]]. CAP entities do not require power from Stargazer.
