Terra planets often feature multiple biomes (deserts, grasslands, snowy tundras, and more), as well as trees, oceans, lakes, and highly variable map elements. Most importantly, these planets feature a wide variety of materials, which can be found in different biomes and on mountains/rock formations. They can also have weird or bizarre colors, unlike Earthlikes which have natural colors. |

These planets are valuable to any space empire as they are very rich in resources, and can often be a good starting point as they feature a wide variety of resources to be gathered. |

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