Barren World
Radiation from the nearby star ravages the surface of this world due to the lack of an atmosphere ozone layer. No significant geological activity. No indigenous life forms. | ||
–In-Game Description |
A Barren World is a Planet type that can be found all over the Persean sector in great abundance.
They can be found at any distance within a System.
Resources
Barren worlds are guaranteed to have ore deposits and sometimes can have rare ore deposits too.
These planets typically have:
Sparse (-1) to
Abundant (+1) ore deposits, though rarely can also go up to
Ultrarich (+3).
Sparse (-1) to
Abundant (+1) rare ore deposits, though rarely can also go up to
Ultrarich (+3).
Market Conditions
No Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Barren worlds.
Other market conditions that can appear are:
Hot (+25% hazard rating)
Extreme Heat (+50% hazard rating)
Cold (+25% hazard rating)
Extreme Cold (+50% hazard rating)
Poor Light (+25% hazard rating)
Darkness (+50% hazard rating)
Low Gravity (+25% hazard rating & +10% accessibility)
High Gravity (+50% hazard rating & -10% accessibility)
Decivilized (+25% hazard rating) on rare occasions
It can also have:
Irradiated (+50% hazard rating) if it's in a sole Neutron Star system.
Inimical Biosphere (+25% hazard rating) on extremely rare occasions, feel free to ponder on the implications.
Varying degree of Ruins can also be found on Barren Worlds.
Colony
Barren worlds primarily serves as a host to the Mining Industry, and by extension Refining too.
Planets with at least both Abundant ore deposits & Abundant rare ore deposits can achieve self-sufficiency in Refining demands with the aid of an Administrator with Industrial Planning.
A Commerce can also be used to capitalized on the income from Mining & Refining.
Special Items
An Autonomous Mantle Bore is of great use on a Mining Industry.
Refining can benefits even further from the use of a Catalytic Core as Barren worlds are guaranteed to have No Atmosphere.
A Synchrotron Core benefits from this too and enables Fuel Production as a lucrative Industry.
And as with all non-habitable worlds, a Heavy Industry/Orbital Works with a Corrupted Nanoforge/Pristine Nanoforge can work well too if the hazard rating is low enough or if needed.
Trivia
- Barren worlds comes in a wide variety of colourization, mainly different shades of grey & brown.
- The Core Worlds has 8 Barren colonies:
