Chapter -3 Star Systems, Planets, Biomes and Minerals (2/2)
- Ocean planets are a 'risky' threat level, geared toward tier 3.
- Ocean planets can be found orbiting temperate star type.
- There are no environmental hazards in ocean biomes which require use of an environmental protection pack.
6) Savannah:
- Savannah is a primary biome type. It's characterized by grasslands, trees, and wide open spaces.
- It is a ”dry grassland” planet, not to be confused with the decayed biome.
- Savannah planets can be found orbiting temperate star type.
- There are no environmental hazards in Savannah biomes which require use of an environmental protection pack.
- Savannah planets have a Risky threat level and a planetary Tier of 3.
7) Snow:
- Snow is a planetary biome type. It's characterized by snow, trees and lower temperature. Not to be confused with the more dangerous Tundra planetary biome.
- Snow planets can be found orbiting temperate and frozen star types.
- There are no environmental hazards in Snow biomes which require use of an environmental protection pack.
- Snow planets have a Risky threat level and a planetary Tier of 3.
8) Jungle:
- Jungle is a primary biome type characterized by many tropical trees and ground growth growing closely together.
- Jungle planets are a 'dangerous' threat level, geared toward tier 4.
- Jungle planets can be found orbiting radioactive star type.
- Exploration without Radiation EPP Upgrade can be very dangerous because of the deadly radiation while on the planet.
9) Mutated:
- Mutated is a primary biome type characterized by large colorful striped or spotted trees made from striped wood.
- Mutated planets are a 'dangerous' threat level, geared toward tier 4.
- Mutated planets can be found orbiting radioactive star type.
- Exploration without Radiation EPP Upgrade can be very dangerous because of the deadly radiation while on the planet.
- The Mutated biome is characterised by odd flora, aggressive fauna and sickeningly high levels of radiation. The area's inhabitants are severely mutated.
10) Toxic:
- Toxic is a primary biome type characterized by a vast expanse of poison ocean with small scattered islands made of mud, raw sewage and waste.
- Traversing the surface is best done with boats rather than swimming because coming in contact with the poison can be deadly without the right protections.
- The ocean floor is covered with plant life, pipes and glowing waste.
- Toxic planets are a 'dangerous' threat level, geared toward tier 4.
- Exploration without Radiation EPP Upgrade can be very dangerous because of the deadly radiation while on the planet.
11) Artic:
- Arctic is a primary biome type characterized by a vast expanse of ocean with small scattered islands made of ice, and slush.
- Traversing the surface is best done with boats.
- The ocean floor is covered with coral and glowing oshrooms.
- Arctic planets are an 'extreme' threat level, geared toward tier 5.
- Arctic planets can be found orbiting frozen star.
- Exploration without an Heating EPP Upgrade equipped can be deadly because of the extreme chill of the planet.
12) Tundra:
- Tundra is a planetary biome, signified by a cold, frozen plains.
- Not to be confused with the less dangerous Snow Planetary Biome, the surface of the biome proper is dotted with trees holding orbs of ice with their branches.
- Tundra planets are most frequently found orbiting Frozen stars.
- Tundra planets have an Extreme threat level and a planetary Tier of 5.
13) Decayed:
- Decayed is a primary biome characterized by its burnt, post-apocalyptic look and urban garbage.
- It has dry weather, warm temperatures, little or no trees, and no other plant life.
- Decayed planets are notable by having ruined cities in the background suggesting that the planets were once populated and may still have some inhabitants.
- Decayed planets are a 'inconceivable' threat level, geared towards tier 6.
- Decayed planets can only be found orbiting fiery star type.
- Exploration without a Cooling EPP Upgrade equipped can be deadly because of the extreme heat on the surface of the planet.
14) Magma:
- Magma is a primary biome type characterized by vast oceans of deadly lava.
- Magma planets are an 'inconceivable' threat level, geared toward tier 6.
- Not to be confused with the also hot volcanic biome, this biome is primarily lava ocean.
- Magma planets can only be found orbiting fiery star type.
- Exploration without a Cooling EPP Upgrade equipped can be deadly because of the extreme heat on the surface of the planet.
15) Vulcanic:
- Volcanic is a primary biome type characterized by intensely hot temperature with hard scorched Magmarock, ash and scattered pools of lava.
- Volcanic planets are an 'inconceivable' threat level, geared toward tier 6.
- It is similar in appearance and temperature to Magma planets, but doesn't have oceans of lava.
- Exploration without a Cooling EPP Upgrade equipped can be deadly because of the extreme heat on the surface of the planet.
