Planet Crafter: Liquid Water Stage

 

Limited oxygen, a few small puddles, limited food and water in crates and wrecks.
Some caves become more accessible as ice melts. 

 

Puddles of water start forming around 3.2 MTi in higher altitudes. Officially, the liquid water phase begins at 3.0 MTi.

Larger puddles start forming in Starting Valley around 3.9 MTi.

Goals:

• Explore caves that become accessible as ice melts.
  • Sulfur Fields becomes accessible from Iridium Mine.
  • Osmium Tunnel from Cracked Spires to Wasteland becomes accessible.
  • Osmium Tunnel between Dune Desert and Grand Rift becomes accessible.
  • Zeolite Cave entrance near Steep Hill becomes partially accessible.
  • Zeolite Cave entrance from Sulfur Fields becomes partially accessible.
• Watch the Ice Fields melt into Grasslands. Explore the canyons and Rainbow Caves.
• Launch rockets to boost terraformation (heat and pressure rockets available - this will greatly reduce the number of heaters/drills you need).
• Build ore extractors to make resource gathering easier. The T1 ore extractor collects a mixture of basic resources (cobalt, iron, magnesium, silicon and titanium). Additional resources can be obtained if the ore extractor is placed in specific areas:
  • Aluminium (Aluminium Fields)
  • Sulfur (Sulfur Fields)
  • Iridium (Iridium Mine)
• Build organised storage systems (i.e. lockers for individual resources, not all mixed together).
• Focus on increasing oxygen and plant generation.
• Need algae generators once small lakes start forming to produce fertilizer and bacteria in the biolab to get the T2 biodome.
• Prioritise placing the flower seeds with the highest oxygen multiplier (e.g. golden seeds from golden crates) in flower spreaders to get the most benefit.
