Solar System Exploration 2 Wiki

Khnemu (/kəˈnuːm/, kuh-NOOM) is the second planet in the Proxima Centauri system. It is the first planet players start on when arriving to the Proxima Centauri System.

Appearance[]

It is very Earth-like, starting out with oceans, gaping shorelines, and sprawling fields. The dark side is covered in ice as the real Proxima B is likely tidally locked. It has significantly more dry land than Earth, though it is the same size.

Colonization[]

This planet is rather rich in all three resources and is one of the two places in the Proxima Centauri System that has natural gas, the other one being Nephthys. Remember to bring the necessary buildings for starting a base from the Solar System, at the very least, a factory, a drill and a pickaxe. If you forgot to bring them, you'll have to wait for someone else to bring them for you or start over as a whole, unless you got to Khnemu using a Warp Core, then you may go to another system to get supplies. note warping back to the Solar System will remove all items and the players ship

Trivia[]

  • Khnemu is named for the Ancient Egyptian god who was said to have sculpted humanity out of clay. [1]
  • Khnemu is an analogue of Proxima b.
  • The texture maps for Khnemu and Thoth were created with a planet generator for an abandoned space game project also made by Calzymp. A game based on similar plans to this project eventually became Space Pioneers.
