Planet Types

The Planets in Astroneer each have a type associated to them. Each type has varying differences, from amount of sun, to the types of resources that it may contain.

Terran
Terran-type planets are lush, verdant planets with plains, mountains and forests featured across the surface. The occasional canyon may intersect near a mountain, making driving dangerous if not paying attention.

Barren
Barren-type planets are devoid of much plant-life, but are marked with many craters.

Tundra
Tundra-type planets are cold and icy, with the occasional warm spot where the ice has melted, revealing the plant life underneath. Large glaciers cover the planet, with steep drops to the icy plains below.
