What's an RS Code?

== What's an RS Code? ==
You may have heard "RS code" before plenty of times, and while other members of the community treat it as a common term, you may have never heard about it, or know what it is, but this guide is here to help! 
=== RS what? ===
When you hear of the term of "RS Code", you may be wondering what that is, and it seems pretty important, important enough that pages get deleted over it not being included. So, what is it?
RS codes are these things:

They are pusedo-randomly generated strings of numbers which every procedurally planet is given. These codes appear next to the type of the planet, or in other words, the very top-left. RS codes are the game's way of naming things, and if you happen to be on the same version with someone, the rs-codes will be same, and thus you can share worlds by sharing the "names" of these discoveries. 
TL:DR They are the names the game gives to planets. They are used to share worlds.
=== How to include them ===
If you have discovered a new world, and want to add it to this wiki, or share it on some other platform, you may have to include the code that your discovery has. To include them, you have 2 options.
* Manually type them down, which preferably involves factcheking them by searching in the search tool.
* Exporting the planet and copying the code from there, easier, but it takes more time.
=== Variants ===
There are a few "variants" of RS Codes, but these are all the same, names the game gives to different objects.
* RS - The traditional title which is given to planets and stars.
* RC - Given to star clusters
* RG - Given to galaxies
* RSC - Given to planets or stars (or other bodies in the planetary system) which are in a star cluster.
* RN - Given to nebulae
What do they stand for?
These are the unofficial guesses of what they stand for.
* RS - Random System
* RC - Random Cluster
* RG - Random Galaxy
* RSC - Random System (in) Cluster
* RN - Random Nebulae
=== Issues ===
You may find occasionally that the RS codes that you search for appear to not exist, and this may be due to several reasons,
* The person copied it wrong, which, in this case, contact the person and notify them.
* The version is different, ask what version the code was in, if it is too different from your version, then you need the other version as that discovery does not exist in your game (ex. 0.980 worlds don't exist in 0.990.)
* They have less or more galaxies then you, so the first number is wrong. Roll back or Step forward the code untill it works, if not, notify the person.
* You pasted it wrong, it happens and may be an extra space, or you forgot an extra number.
=== What's a search tool? ===
This is the main tool which allows for users to search for objects. It can be used to search up real and procedural objects.
For those wondering, this is what it looks like, this is for the modern version, and may look different depending on said version.

When pulled up, it looks like this:

Here's a diagram of the thing. User will input the object's name into the search bar.
