To support and manage the monthly server cost of 1539+€ / $1697+ per month, we implemented Supporter Planets and Supporter Spaces to provide players with a helpful and meaningful way of saying “Thank You”.
Template
Supporter Planets & Space playfields have several customizable options:
Players can determine:
- Planet / Space Appearance
- Who and what can enter their planet / space playfields
- Other restrictions such as CV/SV access, what specific players, factions, Origins may & may not enter
It is mandatory to send me those templates, so I know what you want!

Own custom playfield
Option: Submit your own playfield.yaml file for review and we will check it and integrate it if approved! Be sure to read and understand the six playfield types and their accompanying restrictions listed far below.
In general please don’t create an overpowered playfield. That also counts for “decoration” objects like plants (keep it at 0.001 or less).
Contact @RexXxuS for further details / info / inquiries
3 Month Lifespan
The typical runtime of a Supporter Playfield is 3 months minimum. Regardless of seasons or wipes, we guarantee a 90-day lifespan of your Supporter Playfield.
A Full Wipe will result in your Supporter Playfield being wiped as well, so try to align the timing of your support with the season cycle to get most out of it. If a player acquires a Supporter Planet/Space with only one month remaining in the season, they would still enjoy 2 more months on their Supporter Planet/Space during the next season.
If a player wants to keep their Supporter Playfield after its usual lifespan, they must re-support. HWS needs to plan the next season well in advance, so whether you do or do not plan on keeping your Supporter planet / space, be sure to let @RexXxus know your plans for the next season.
Players who wish to support for a playfield to be spawned under special conditions such as obtaining a planet for a period less than 90 days or under other unique conditions, need to discuss their proposal privately with @RexXxus on a case-by-case basis.
Supporter Playfield Guidelines
- You have one free Supporter Package included but must contact me to have it activated for you or someone you want to gift it to.
- You have max. 1 video, max. 1 audio or/and max. 10 images (decals) free available you can use inside your Supporter Playfield(s) (or max. 20mb)
- Each faction is allowed a maximum of 2 Planets and / or 1 Space (more if space allows it)
- Supporter Planet / Space for one person is only possible, if there are enough slots available.
- You can have your planet(s) inside your own space. However you can’t request an unrestricted planet inside a restricted Space! (at least with the unrestricted bonus resources/pois)
- You can request your own POI on the Planet / Space or Freighter / AI Vessels in Space if it doesn’t break normal gameplay (e.g. insane loot) - min. reset time is daily.
- You can choose to have an indestructible surface on the planet (digging is not possible, but this is good for playfield performance)
- Plant types, NPCs, and Drones can be requested in moderate quantity
- You may request any type of weather, gravity strength, biome type, water color / sea level, etc.
- Ingame NPC Trader / Trading Stations / EB or EGS Zones are not allowed if you have a restricted Planet / Space. If your planet allows player access, such requests for these types of POIs will be considered.
- You can not change your Planet / Space type from unrestricted to restricted or vice versa during the season to prevent griefing
- Supporter Playfields are subject to the same Wipe and Decay Times as all other playfields
- Structures on restricted Supporter Playfields are not counted towards the global base limit
- Class limit for ships is 7, but there is no limit for Bases restricted Supporter Playfields. The maximum size for a spawned base is Class 7. It can be enlarged beyond Class 7 after it is spawned.
- If you chose to have an Event Planet or Event Space, please discuss your proposal with @RexXxuS first.
- If you select a restricted Supporter Space playfield (not Planet), you can request your own Starbase be spawned. (no Class limit, etc.)
- If you are guilty you can’t enter Supporter Playfields
- Asteroids regenerate every 3 hours
- Deposits can be reset once a week via a surface wipe. This means Autominers, Water Generators, etc. will be wiped.
- The location of the Supporter Playfields is always fixed in the Sup System (Single Planets in the Donare Sector, Spaces around the Sun)

The spirit of supporting is to help with server costs and thereby enhance gameplay for all players. HWS is intent on not being a ‘pay-to-win’ server. Therefore, the owner/admins will ensure that the current meta fits this goal and they reserve the right to adjust support packages if necessary.
Disclaimer: since Supporter Planets / Spaces can have a massive impact on the overall universe / gameplay for all players, they are subject to possible changes to their conditions and content. This is also true for every other support package. That being said, we try our best to provide a balanced and unique experience.
