No that I don't of it, maybe a database isn't even needed, I'll just use average data and then randomize the star's propriaties.. a lot. My game has about 3,489,013,663 but the algorithms will only calculate one star, the star that the player is close to, and so as of yet there is no problem...

There are a lot of types of stars, how do you propose to do this ? I mean, the characteristics of stars depends on the mass and the mass of stars range from 0.08 to 150+..

Is there a relation between star mass and solar wind mass ejection ? The quantity of mass that is ejected throught solar wind depends on the mass, so there might be a relation between the two. If it depends on the mass then is there a way to know some kind of "convective factor" or "mixing...

So a star doesn't eject any mass whilst in the main sequence ? I thought that the Mixing length Model "provided" an explanation as to why core elements could be found in the photosphere, that "bubbles" are formed within the star, these bubbles travel from the core to the outer layer and as a...

This will take me a while to understand, I'll post back once I test all this.

Right. Theres no need to to calculate all that since the output is always the same. Found a powerpoint explaining all that, but I don't understand half of it, but no worries, I don't need that yet. I got stuck just by reading your comment.. I don't even know how to convert between units, I'm...

I'd love to become an astrophysicist but if I became one then I wouldn't be programming a game anymore, I'd be programming a stellar evolution model and that's no fun for the average guy that just wants to play a nice sci-fi game o0) As for the fuging the numbers part, there are two types of...

r-process, s-process.. It all depends on the mass of the star, the s-process occures in stars from 0.6-10 solar masses and the r-process occurres in supernove explosion in stars that have mass ~>= 8 solar masses. So a star that has ~>= 8 solar masses will be able to fuse iron into uranium once...

Planets will not be effected then, but when a star goes supernova it does release a whole bunch of elements into space in a form of a nebula, this will be available for harvest if the player feels like it. The outer layer of the star will be hydrogen mixed with all the core's elements due to the...

More or less like that, a sun like star would probably go through it's main sequence in about an year or half a year, so 10 billion years would equal 365 days or half more, a star with 60 times the mass of the sun would go through it's life in a little more than 10 days. That's 3 million years =...

I've just read about that too, a giant (or bigger) only produces heavier elements when they blow up to supernovas because that's when the r-process occurres, this process gives energy to the star which will react with the iron core and in the instance of the explosion, the core will have...

Thanks for replying. I don't really want to create a model that accurate, you see, I'm doing this because I'm currently creating a game like Elite: Dangerous or No Man's Sky, and because of that I need to make the algorithms as simple as possible in a way that it delivers the best experience, in...

Is it possible to calculate how much Helium a star can produce when it reaches the end of the main-sequence, right before it starts burning Helium ( given if it has enough mass to do so) ? And if it is possible then is it also possible to calculate how many materials a star can produce given...
