Are there one set of glyphs per planet or star system?

[MonkeKing13]

[Fair warning, as I don't want to spoil anything for myself only being here about a week now I was worried on how to form this question properly.]

So last night I found the first big thing that wanted me to use glyphs and i didn't have any idea on it and so i left it alone.

So the question then comes to my mind, is there one per planet or multiple per planet or one per star sytem etc?

THere is only a single portal on any given planet. Every planet has one (and only one).

Each planet has unique coordinates represented by a string of 12 glyphs, those glyphs indicate it's exact location in the galaxy and that string is known as a "portal address".

The glyphs are for the entire system of planets. As noted above, one portal per planet in the system but they would all have the same system glyphs. If there were 5 planets and a moon in a system each of the portals in it wouldn't have a different address to my knowledge. Am I overthinking this?

One of the glyphs in the portal address is for the specific planet. So yes, each has a (slightly) different address.

The first glyph in an address represents the specific planet.
The next 3 glyphs represent the system
The last 8 glyphs represent the region

Interesting. Never thought about it before this thread. Assumptions, again. LOL Thanks Jaggid.

Just think, if they changed portals to accept 14 digit addresses instead of 12, then we would be able to use them to move between galaxies as well.

Errr wouldn't that have to be 15 digits, 3 more for the galaxy #, not 2?

There are 256 galaxies. There are 16 glyphs. 16*16 = 256 possible combinations for 2 digits.

Actually two. The glyphs are base 16. 16×16 = 256. Galaxy 1 is actually galaxy 0 and Galaxy 256 is really 255.

Lol, stand back... i'm gonna try science

That's what I get for just looking at numbers. Now my brain hurts and I need chocolate. Thank you for the replies though that blank stare on my face is real. I bow to the experts.

There's one COMBINATION of Glyphs for each planet, but there's only 16 glyphs.

me da que los que preguntan por los glifos, son lo que aqui en España llamamos mareantes, porque no hay perdida, es imposible que hoy alguien pregunte como funcionan, con toda la informacion que hay no lo sepa.

In the fwiw department, it's no longer possible to reach galaxy 256 during normal play. I finished my tour of the universe this past summer and when I warped to the core of galaxy 255 (Iousongola), I spawned back in Euclid. So technically there are only 255 galaxies available now.

Are the galaxies numbered 1 - 256, or 0 - 255?
