Note: The developers have removed Solar Flares from this location with the 1.0.4 Released update.Ĭlass F - 'Outer planet with a Nitrogen atmosphere. The planet types are listed below in order of unlock, which is followed by a table of characteristics for each.Ĭlass D - 'Medium size desert planet with a thick CO2 (Carbon dioxide) Atmosphere, which partially protects it from Meteors and Solar Flares.' Sandstorms are very common here. Planetbase allows you to attempt to colonize four different types of planets. Id like to know if the coordinates and features of the starting planet have any impact on the seed of the starting area.
