Biome - Frozen | |
---|---|
Type | Biome |
Description | Covered by ice and snow |
Updated | NextGen |
Frozen is one of the Biome varieties.
Summary[ | ]
Worlds with a frozen biome resemble lush worlds in the ice ages, having a surface covered by ice and snow. Trees tend to sprawl quite a lot here. However, the less the amount of flora, the higher the amount of dead trees. When viewed from space, these worlds are generally snow-white in colour with a few dots. The resources Dioxite, Frost Crystal, and Radon can be found here.
Name generation[ | ]
The biome type is indicated in the information panel when the player exits their starship. This is procedurally generated by adding one of the following prefixes to the Planet or Moon text.
The sequence is taken from the game file.
- Frozen
- Icebound
- Arctic
- Glacial
- Sub-zero
- Icy
- Frostbound
- Freezing
- Hiemal
- Hyperborean
Conditions[ | ]
- Hazard protection is always on due to frigid temperatures. Thermic Layer upgrades are recommended, especially on extreme worlds.
- Cold storms can occur, draining hazard protection approximately three times more quickly than normal.
- Extremely frozen worlds drains hazard protection at the same rate during a storm in a normal frozen world.
- Storms in extremely frozen worlds drain hazard protection approximately three times more quickly.
Weather[ | ]
Clear (No storms) | Normal | Extreme |
---|---|---|
Crisp | Drifting Snowstorms | Deep Freeze |
Freezing | Frozen Clouds | Frequent Blizzards |
Frost | Harsh, Icy Winds | Hazardous Whiteouts |
Icy | Icy Blasts | Howling Blizzards |
Permafrost | Ice Storms | Icy Tempests |
Powder Snow | Infrequent Blizzards | Ice Storms |
Snowy | Migratory Blizzards | Intense Cold |
Wintry | Occasional Snowfall | Raging Snowstorms |
Outbreaks of Frozen Rain | Roaring Ice Storms | |
Wandering Frosts | Supercooled Storms |
Extreme weather does not necessarily mean that the planet has extreme storms. This is extremely rare to happen. The weather will still be in red text on arrival and in orange text in the analysis visor, but there will be no activated resources and the storms will not be extreme.
The following planets (or systems that contain such a planet) are examples of this happening:
Exotification[ | ]
Frozen worlds seem to enter the exotic pre-stage of the Bone Spire corruption during their exotification. Their appearance implies that their corruption and ultimate loss of coherence in the wake of the Atlas' demise is one and the same and may shed a light on the origin of those chromatics.
Civilized space[ | ]
- The frozen biome is one of the 2 biomes to be considered candidates for garden worlds by the Arcadia Project, alongside the lush biome.
Additional Information[ | ]
- The name generation and the sequence are extracted from the 1.77 version of NMS_UPDATE3_ENGLISH.MBIN game file.
- It is possible that certain dead planets were once frozen, considering the fact that certain dead planets look like frozen ones on first sight.
