Toxic World
Carbon and sulphur dioxide gases dominate the atmosphere of this world, making it toxic to all known life. In addition, the gases create a runaway greenhouse effect that increases surface temperature and atmospheric pressure to extremely high levels. | ||
–In-Game Description |
A Toxic World is a Planet type that can be found with the Persean sector.
They can be found at any distance within a system.
Resources
Toxic worlds are guaranteed to have ore deposits, sometimes have rare ore deposits, and on rare occasions, organics deposits and volatiles reserves.
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).
Trace (-1) or
Common (0) organic reserves seemingly.
Trace (-1) or
Diffuse (0) volatiles reserves seemingly.
Varying degree of Ruins can also be rarely found.
Market conditions
Toxic Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Toxic 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)
Tectonic Activity (+25% hazard rating)
Extreme Weather (+25% hazard rating)
Low Gravity (+25% hazard rating & +10% accessibility)
High Gravity (+50% hazard rating & -10% accessibility)
It can also have:
Irradiated (+50% hazard rating) if it's in a sole Neutron Star system.
Colony
Toxic 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, especially if there are organics reserves.
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
- Toxic worlds can have different degrees of atmosphere visibility/density.
- The Core Worlds has a Toxic colony on Salamanca in the Yma system.
