Frozen World
| Water or ammonia ice is the primary surface feature of this world. Below the surface, there may be a liquid ocean or a rocky crust. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
A Frozen 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 or a Nebula.
Resources
Frozen worlds are guaranteed to have ore deposits and volatiles deposits, they can also have rare ore deposits.
These planets typically have:
Sparse (-1) to 
Ultrarich (+3) ore deposits.
Sparse (-1) to 
Ultrarich (+3) rare ore deposits.
Diffuse (0) to 
Plentiful Voltailes (+2) volatiles deposits.
Varying degree of Ruins can also be found.
Market Conditions
Extreme Cold (+50% hazard rating) (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Frozen worlds.
Frozen worlds will usually have either 
Poor Light (+25% hazard rating) or 
Darkness (+50% hazard rating), though also neither.
Other market conditions that can appear are:
Low Gravity (+25% hazard rating & +10% accessibility)
High Gravity (+50% hazard rating & -10% accessibility)
Toxic Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) on rare occasions
Dense Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) on rare occasions
Decivilized (+25% hazard rating) on rare occasions
It can also have:
Irradiated (+50% hazard rating) if it's in a sole Neutron Star system.
Colony
Frozen 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.
