Biome

Each planet is made up of a combination of Biomes, that each have their own appearance, color palette, and resources that spawn. Biomes can combine to create unique terrain for the player to explore.


 * Purple Forests: Sylva's Purple Forests scatter the surface of the planet, marked with blue and purple Soil and tall trees that can sometimes contain Research Items. They are also a good source for early Ammonium.
 * Gray Mountains: The mountains of Sylva are peaks of gray soil capped with white that imitate snow. Scattered around are rocks, Bouncevine and deposits of Malachite and Graphite. Research Items can be found here, mainly on large rock pillars.
 * Flat Plains: The flat, verdant plains of Sylva span the entire planet, with a mix of green and brown soil. The flat open areas make the perfect location for players to set up and expand their bases.
 * Deep Ravines: Occasionally a deep ravine would crack through the surface of the planet, creating a natural way to see directly into the first underground layers. They can be hard to traverse early on, and hard to see with a risk of the player falling in before seeing them due to the small hills that surround them. The surrounding areas can contain small amounts of Graphite.
 * Mushroom Forest: Sylva's unique mantle layer biome is a vast Mushroom Forest, with red soil spanning the entire layer. From small, short fungi to tall mushroom trees, the Mushroom Forest can contain many surprises, also being the best source for large deposits of Malachite and Ammonium on Sylva.


 * Grey Plains: Desolo is covered in these flat plains that are situated above the craters, the soil is grey as the name suggests, and there are occasional spikes and rocks dotting the landscape. There are generally Compound and Resin and rarely Ammonium deposits located near to or next to the small craters, but apart from this there are very few other resources.This is the arguably the best biome to set up solar power, as there are no crater walls to obstruct the sun at certain angles, which is important as Desolo has an extremely short Day-Night cycle.The Apollo Lunar Module is also commonly found in this biome.
 * Small Craters: This is one of the most common biomes on Desolo, they have a yellow soil with orange streaks on the floor with grey from the Grey Plains seeping into some of the crater. There are generally small plants that can be harvested for organic growing in these craters, while Saphalerite, Compound and Resin are also commonly found in this biome. This is also one of the main biomes to find small wrecks and EXO Dynamics Research Aids.
 * Large Craters: These are similar to the Small Craters, with the same small plants and the same coloration as the Small Craters . They are larger than the small craters and often contain Resin and Compound. They also generally have small wrecks and EXO Dynamics Research Aids located near the sides of the Crater. As they have many resources it is advisable to build a base above on the Grey Plains next to one of these craters so that you have easy access to these resources while still having maximum solar power.
