Volcanic World
| A geologically unstable planet without a permanently formed crust. Glowing fissures and active volcanoes litter ther surface, the magma they spew forth combining to form flows that travel hundreds of kilometers across the charred surface. | ||
–In-Game Description | ||
A Volcanic World is a Planet type that can be found all over the Persean sector in abundance.
They are typically found in close orbit of their host star.
Resources
Volcanic worlds are guaranteed to have both ore deposits and rare ore deposits.
These planets typically have:
Abundant (+1) to 
Ultrarich (+3) ore deposits, though rarely can also go down to 
Sparse (-1).
Abundant (+1) to 
Ultrarich (+3) rare ore deposits, though rarely can also go down to 
Sparse (-1).
Varying degree of Ruins can also be found.
Market conditions
Volcanic worlds will always have one of the following (mutually exclusive):
Thin Atmosphere (+25% hazard rating)
Toxic Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating)
Dense Atmosphere (+50% hazard rating) occasionally
Extreme Heat (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Volcanic worlds, though sometimes it can be 
Hot (+25% hazard rating) instead.
Extreme Tectonic Activity (+50% hazard rating) will always be an attribute of Volcanic worlds, though sometimes it can be 
Tectonic Activity (+25% hazard rating) instead.
Other market conditions that can appear are:
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) & 
Poor Light (+25% hazard rating) if it's in a sole Neutron Star system.
Darkness (+50% hazard rating) if it's in a sole Black Hole system.
Colony
Volcanic 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, which is easily met with the usual abundance of deposits that can be found of Volcanic worlds.
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.
A Cryoarithmetic Engine can be quite useful in bolster a Military Base or a High Command or even a Patrol HQ due to most Volcanic worlds having Extreme Heat, though this would make a Commerce less desirable due to the effects of reduced stability on fleet size.
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
- Volcanic worlds has 2 distinct texture types, they also have different degrees of atmosphere visibility/density.
- The Core Worlds has no Volcanic colonies, at least without player action.
