Galactic

is a Reset Layer on The Island that is unlocked by fully assembling the Rocket. It resets progression in the Normal and Anti realms, excluding Rocket Fuel Upgrades (Rocket Fuel itself is reset), Flowers and Flower Upgrades. In turn, it awards Stars to spend at the Star Chart and unlocks Astral, Grass-Skip in the Anti Realm, auto-Accomplishments and Moonstone, a rarer version of Platinum, to spend on Moonstone Upgrades.
Stars gain is boosted by the following: the 'Flower Stars II' Flower Upgrade, the 'Moon Stars', 'Moon Stars II' and 'Moon Stars III' Moonstone Upgrades, the 'Mega Rocket Fueled Galactics' and 'Giga Rocket Fueled Galactics' Rocket Fuel Upgrades, Grass-Skip Milestone 1, the Star Accumulator itself and its 'Platinum Stars', 'Steel Stars' and 'Moonstone Stars' upgrades, the 'SFRGT Stars' SFRGT Upgrade, , the 'Dark Stars' Dark Matter Upgrade, the 'Basic Stars' Ring Upgrade, Supernova Tier 1 and the 'Solar Powered Stars' and 'Solar Stars' Solar Upgrades.
Passive generation of Stars is unlocked with the 'Stars Generation' Reservatorium Upgrade, starting at 1/1,000th (0.1%) of the player's on-reset Stars gain amount.
The first galactic will play an animation that fades to black and contains in the middle "You have left this world". Performing subsequent Galactics will have the same animation, but the text will be replaced by "You have left worlds", where X is the number of Galactics the player has performed. This stops upon performing Sacrifice for the first time.
==Tips== 
*For your first Galactic, you cannot earn more than 10 stars normally.
*It is recommended to stock up on as many Rocket Fuel Upgrades as possible due to them being one of the only features that are kept on Galactic.
*Grind out at least 5 levels of the 'Moon Stars' Moonstone Upgrade for a considerable early boost to Star gain. 
**It is recommended to do this with a high grass grow speed and grass cap to maximise Platinum spawning chance, and thus maximizing Moonstone spawning chance.
***The 'Less Grass II' Accomplishment massively helps with this.
* Aim to unlock the Star Accumulator for a large surge to Star gain.
**While this may not be feasible for the first few Galactics, it will be a lot more feasible after fully upgrading the 'Steel Generation' Star Chart upgrade and obtaining a few levels of the 'Oily Steel II' Oil Upgrade.
*Be sure to work on Astral whenever receiving a considerable boost to SP gain, such as from Grass-Skip Milestone 2's reward and stocking up on a large number of Grass-Skips. As with all Galactic features, Astral is kept on Galactic and is thus recommended to grind out while at full power (i.e. just before going Galactic).
*A strategy when going for Anti-Grasshop Milestones, and especially ones below 0 Grasshops, is to use the 'autocut trick' to try to complete timed levels. This trick is usable when autocut is faster than growing speed, and is most notable in the Anti Realm due to the decreased effectiveness of autocut. It is performed by disabling autocut, waiting for grass cap to fill up, then re-enabling autocut as soon as the level timer resets for the maximum possible time to level up.
**When going for 0 Grasshops + X Grass-Skips, a general rule of thumb is to be able to easily (within approximately 30 seconds) reach 3 or 4 above the required Grass-Skip count with full Grasshops.
==Trivia==
*When Galactic was introduced in version 0.3, a highly unfinished version of Sacrifice was also implemented. It was performable at , and awarded 1 Dark Matter to spend on a selection of 5 Dark Matter Upgrades.
*Current reset description as of version 0.5h:
**Resets EVERYTHING except rocket fuel upgrades (rocket fuel itself is reset) and flower upgradesThere is no going back from this...
**Reset description prior to version 0.3:
***Just kidding, this is not implemented yetYou must have been at this for a while, go touch grass or something 
****Galactic's placeholder reset description was the first time the game has ever told the player to touch grass. The second was the since-removed , which originally had a description of - Go outside and touch real grass. The third, is the name of the also since removed 'Touch Real Grass' Solarian Challenge. The fourth is Omega Loop's reset animation. The fifth is the Grass-Touch reset layer.
* Galactic is one of eight game mechanics that feature a screen animation. The others are Grasshop, Grass Jump, Supernova, Hop-Skip-Jump, The Void Obelisk, entering the Grassland, and doing a Loop.
