Rocky Metallic World
| A rocky-metallic husk-world, its shattered landscape is a record of a violent history. Kilometers-deep chasms rive the surface and craters pit lava-fields beneath inert volcanos that dwarf any of those on Old Earth. Planets like this are valued for mining operations. There is no significant ecology and only trace atmosphere. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
A Rocky Metallic World is a Planet type that can be found all over the Persean sector.
They can be found at any distance within a system.
Resources
Rocky Metallic 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).
Varying degree of ruins can also be found.
Market conditions
No Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Rocky Metallic 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.
Colony
Rocky Metallic 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 Rocky Metallic 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
- Rocky Metallic worlds comes in a wide variety of colourization, mainly different shades of grey & brown just like Barren Worlds, but of darker colours.
- The Core Worlds has 3 Rocky Metallic colonies:
- As of Version 0.97, it is also functionally the same as a Barren World.
