They can be captured without weakening them first by using a relocator gun. If successful they can then be released to battle alongside and follow the player.Ĭritters are smaller non-combat unique creatures which are not capturable using capture pods. Once weakened players can attempt to capture using a capture pod. Unique monsters each have combat attacks, and they must first be weakened before capture. In addition to unique creatures, each biome has multiple types of both procedural ground and flying creatures. While these unique creatures have a chance to appear on arctic planets, they will not all appear on each one. Some of these are also found in other biomes, while others are unique only to arctic biomes. In addition to procedurally generated creatures, there are a variety of unique monsters, bugs and critters found in arctic biomes. There are no wild crops unique to arctic planets, and since there are no mini or sub biomes there's no chance of finding any crops of any kind on the surface. Weather happens for each planet based on the weights given to the weather types (probability is calculated by dividing a single weight by the sum of all weights) the probability for weather types on arctic planets is as follows:
Weather in arctic biomes is either snow, blizzard or clear.
Most ore is accessible beneath the ocean floor.Īrctic surface biomes use their own sets of music tracks for day and night.Īrctic ocean floor biomes use the Day Tracks plus both Arctic Exploration tracks during the day and the Night Tracks during the night.Īrctic planets do not have any sub biomes which appear, and arctic oceans do not appear as a sub biome on any other planet types. Ores can be found on surface islands, with of copper, silver ore, gold and durasteel available in small quantities. There's no way to gather all of the water found in arctic oceans. There are almost no natural resources on the surface of these islands.Īrctic planets are mostly covered in water which spawns endlessly. The surface layer of arctic planets is primarily made up of water ocean with small scattered islands made from ice and slush. There are few animals here, and no plant-life at all - just forsaken islands in a frigid ocean.
Unless players have an Heating EPP Upgrade equipped they'll perpetually take damage from deadly chill while on the planet. Arctic planets are an 'extreme' threat level, geared toward tier 5 in progression.Īrctic planets can be found orbiting frozen (blue) and fiery (red) star types. The ocean floor is covered with coral and glowing oshrooms. Traversing the surface is best done with boats or an aqua sphere for speed. The surface of an arctic ocean.Arctic is a primary biome type characterized by a vast expanse of ocean with small scattered islands made of ice, and slush.
