Terra planets are frequently hospitable planets with differing biomes and terrain. |

Terras, or spawn terras, are spawn planets that all players start out on. They are very similar to [[Earthlike]]s in appearance and are always habitable. These planets are the basic starting point of your adventures in Waste of Space. |

==Features== |
||
Terras have lots of resources and look almost identical to most Earthlike planets. These planets are often very laggy due to high population, so it is encouraged that players leave spawn terras as soon as they can get a ship or join up with others to find a new base location. |
|||
* Terra planets have varying terrain split up into continents. Continents are surrounded by sandy shores and oceans, often beside steep cliffs. They have several biomes. |
|||
Spawn terras only have basic metallic resources. Despite the various (less useful) other resources you can find on these planets, they only have iron, copper, coal, and a few other useful resources that you will need to escape them. You will not find advanced ersources like Titanium on these worlds, so it is advised to keep ships simple when trying to get off of these worlds. |
|||
* As with [[Earthlike]] planets, terra planets have tundra, desert, and grassy biomes. These are spread throughout the planet. Vegetation is present on these planets, but is obviously not available in desert or tundra biomes. Trees can grow either tall or short, and come in a variety of shapes. |
|||
* Mountains are frequent and tall, often being bunched up in groups. Ores are moderately abundant, and any of the ores from the standard set of ores can generate. |
|||
* Their conditions are almost always hospitable, as their temperature stays within a pretty constant (livable) range and their atmospheres are mostly breathable. |
|||
* Their oceans' seabeds are featureless and do not contain any ore unlike on [[Ocean]] planets. |

Terra planets are great for beginners, or those wanting an easier time successfully colonizing a planet. They may also prove advantageous for setting up temporary colonies due to their mild conditions. |

Their hospitable conditions make it painless to build out factories. Their resources should be enough to accommodate a small-medium factory, though resource transportation may initially prove slightly difficult due to the tendency of resources to be spread out on these types of planets (the use of [[Transporter|Transporters]] all but eliminates this problem). |

Features[edit | hide all | hide | edit source]
- Terra planets have varying terrain split up into continents. Continents are surrounded by sandy shores and oceans, often beside steep cliffs. They have several biomes.
- As with Earthlike planets, terra planets have tundra, desert, and grassy biomes. These are spread throughout the planet. Vegetation is present on these planets, but is obviously not available in desert or tundra biomes. Trees can grow either tall or short, and come in a variety of shapes.
- Mountains are frequent and tall, often being bunched up in groups. Ores are moderately abundant, and any of the ores from the standard set of ores can generate.
- Their conditions are almost always hospitable, as their temperature stays within a pretty constant (livable) range and their atmospheres are mostly breathable.
- Their oceans' seabeds are featureless and do not contain any ore unlike on Ocean planets.
Colonization[edit | hide | edit source]
Terra planets are great for beginners, or those wanting an easier time successfully colonizing a planet. They may also prove advantageous for setting up temporary colonies due to their mild conditions.
Their hospitable conditions make it painless to build out factories. Their resources should be enough to accommodate a small-medium factory, though resource transportation may initially prove slightly difficult due to the tendency of resources to be spread out on these types of planets (the use of Transporters all but eliminates this problem).
