The first biome is a forest but there is no temperate biomes and swamps. Because of its lack of metals, finding biological solutions to problems is a must."įeature: is a more barren version of Verdante. “Colonizing Arboria will require careful planning right from the start. The shortage of water will probably be the main problem here with the absence of frozen biomes. Starting in a forest biome itself is much more difficult than starting in a temperate biome as there are very little water and no algae at all that you can transform into oxygen. This is the easiest of the “forest start” asteroids. It has many forests and swamps, but no temperate and frozen biomes. However, abundant biological and mineral resources should afford excellent long-term growth."įeature: the first biome is a forest. “Establishing a foothold on Verdante will be challenging due to reduced food and oxygen options. The cold will also bring quite a few problems on its own, for example, pipes that break down or airlocks that freeze. The downside is that the asteroid doesn't have much life on it and it is harder to grow food in the cold. The environment naturally cools off everything in the base and you have one less big problem to think about. This is a great option for players that hate managing heat problems. It has a lot of frozen biomes and the other biomes all are the cold variant. However, the wide spectrum of minerals and cool environment could lead to thriving industry."įeature: the first biome is temperate (cold variant). “Rime's low temperatures will make finding water and establishing farms or ranches problematic. You will also have to make sure you don't do a mistake that ends up with your base getting flooded! Rime The new tide pool biomes that are plentiful here have saltwater, so you will need to find ways to isolate the water from the salt. So this is a small step up in difficulty… The thing is, Terra already has plentiful water. This is considered an easy asteroid that is similar to Terra, except the fact that there is much more water everywhere. It has a lot of tide pool biomes, no forests, and no rust. Careful expansion and resource usage should lead to a successful colony."įeature: the first biome is temperate. “Oceania is quite stable and resource-rich, but the majority of the area is covered in a saltwater ocean. It's perfect for the first few runs or until one feels comfortable with the game. It misses two of the three new biomes that were introduced at game launch (forest and badlands), so some of the new buildings like the Wood Burner won't have their use here. The first biome is temperate, it is well balanced and brings no additional difficulty. The first asteroid on the list is the best choice for a first game. It's an ideal location for a first attempt at establishing a colony." “Terra meets all the requirements for Duplicants life and holds no surprises. Think of the 9 asteroid types that available right now as the choice of an algorithm that will be used generate a random map, and the asteroid traits as small tweaks that will be added. The system is great and there would be so many ways it could be expanded to make each run completely unique! The asteroid types and traits bring great replay value to the game.
