Rocky Unstable World
| An unstable world rocked by quakes and eruptions. Where the surface is not covered by seas of cooled lava, it is dominated by rough peaks and scattered supervolcanos which eject toxic gases to form a tenuous and corrosive atmosphere. This is not a place welcoming to any kind of permanent settlement. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
A Rocky Unstable World is a Planet type that can be found with the Persean sector.
They can be found at any distance within a system.
Resources
Rocky Unstable 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 Unstable worlds.
Tectonic Activity (+25% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Rocky Unstable worlds, though rarely it can be 
Extreme Tectonic Activity (+50% hazard rating) instead.
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 Unstable 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 Unstable 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 Unstable 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 a Rocky Unstable colony on Cruor in the Askonia system.
