–In-Game Description

A Cryovolcanic World is a Planet type that can be found within the Persean sector.

They are typically found in the other reaches of a system, or anywhere within a system without a source of light or heat like a Black Hole system or a Nebula system.

Resources

Cryovolcanic worlds are guaranteed to have ore deposits, rare ore deposits and volatiles deposits.

These planets typically have:


Varying degree of Ruins can also be found.

Market conditions

Cold extreme.png Extreme Cold (+50% hazard rating) (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Cryovolcanic worlds.

Tectonic.png Tectonic Activity (+25% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Cryovolcanic worlds, though sometimes it can be Tectonic extreme.png Extreme Tectonic Activity (+50% hazard rating) instead.

Cryovolcanic worlds will usually have either Poor light.png Poor Light (+25% hazard rating) or Darkness.png Darkness (+50% hazard rating), though also rarely neither.


Other market conditions that can appear are:

It can also have:

Colony

Cryovolcanic worlds primarily serves as a host to the Mining Industry, which is particularly lucrative due to the planet type guaranteeing the appearance of 3 mineable resources, and of course, 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.

Orbital Fusion Lamp can be used to counteract the increased hazard rating from Cold or Extreme Cold and Poor Light or Darkness.

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.
