Worlds

Mars

The thin martian atmosphere contains useful gasses for growing plants and base pressurization. Mars suffers from storms that damage solar cells and blow away loose items. The temperature is Earthlike during the day.

"A desolate dusty red ball, Mars features more varied terrain that can reach into the sky, and a chilly atmosphere that's no good for breathing, but maybe it can be used for something ..."

Moon

The Moon is a vacuum, so the challenge is to capture gases. Fortunately the Sun is at a 0° so it's easy to capture power with a simple solar setup.

"While the presence of coal isn't typical of Earth's Moon, the relatively flat terrain full of various sizable craters and lack of atmosphere may be more familiar in this grey landscape. A great location for the budding Stationeer to begin their journey, with fewer of the hazards and complexities offered on more exotic worlds"

Europa

Europa is a freezing hellscape. The extreme temperatures drain batteries and it takes a lot of power to keep warm. The weak Sun makes it hard to use solar. It's recommended to start with coal power.

"Melting some of the ice on this cold world has finally given it an atmosphere, but its extremely frigid environment presents a serious challenge for the stationeers.The extreme cold will cause batteries to rapidly lose power, so getting a steady power source and warm location are your priorities."

Mimas

Mimas has no atmosphere requiring collection of gases elsewhere. The extreme solar angle and distance from the Sun will make solar far less reliable. The low gravity will make you fly in the air some distance before coming back down again. The breathtaking view of Saturn provides a spectacular place to build a base.

"A barren rock nestled under the wing of Saturn's spectacular rings. Mimas tiny stature is reflected in its extremely low gravity, and the Mimantean surface is saturated with impact craters from wayward ring occupants. It's distance from the sun provides little power from solar devices. Be very careful when walking or jumping, as you can travel a long way and gain a lot of speed due to the extremely low gravity."

Vulcan

For those looking for a harder challenge, Vulcan should fit the bill. The atmosphere is mostly volatiles, and it's very hot. Be very careful with oxygen, because it can and will combust if it is released in the atmosphere. For that reason, the planet lacks ice, and one must trade instead of mine to obtain gases such as oxygen and nitrogen.

"A world torn apart due to massive tidal forces from the supermassive black hole it orbits. Vulcan offers little hope for any organism that ends up here, but it's fractured surface and rich mineral deposits make it a risky but profitable venture for enterprising traders.Watch out for the deep crevasses that lead to deadly magma flows beneath the surface!"

Loulan

DISCONTINUED (To play on Loulan click custom world underneath the description of the planet selection, and select the Loulan preset. (This is no longer possible due to the custom world option being removed.))

Loulan has a breathable atmosphere and the temperature range is not hazardous. It has ruined structures scattered across the terrain which can be scavenged for building supplies. The player starts with a Hardsuit Backpack, and a Headlamp, but without a helmet or suit and this is not a serious handicap. A Jetpack is not part of the starting equipment. Battery charging is not a matter of life and death, but without batteries the headlamp will not light your way at night.

The greatest challenge is food since seeds are not part of the starting equipment. The player must either scavenge some seeds from ruins, trade, or use an Organics Printer to create them. While the gas mix is compatible with farming, the low night temperature is not, so a greenhouse must be operated at the right temperature. The easiest way is to open up the airlock during the day with warm 20 degrees air, and close it at night.

Asteroid Belt

"While there's no gravity or atmosphere, at least there's a lot of space to build! You'll find yourself among several asteroids that may contain various ores and ices you can use to survive out here."

Venus

"Unvarying extreme temperatures and ultra-high pressures make Venus no place for the faint-hearted. Only the most accomplished Stationeers will survive on our once-sister planet, now a barren rock. Dig deep, or go home."

The starting kit doesn't contain seeds, but it contains the equipment required for trading. And unlike on some other worlds, a portable water tank is also provided in the starting kit, however setting up water bottle filling will require some work.

One of the main difficulties of Venus is that it doesn't contain any ice.
