Identifying valuable planets: Difference between revisions

Line 117:

We know that you can get some resources on only one planet type, and that there are other resources that appear on multiple planet types. However, are some of the planet types better for some resources?

=== Aqueous Liquids / Water ===

Let us look at the question of Aqueous Liquids (which produce Water). From the [[Planet#Resource Distribution by Planet Type|Planet]] page we know that this resource appears on Gas, Ice, Storm, Temperate, and Oceanic worlds. Intuitively, we would expect Oceanic and Ice worlds to be heavily biased toward watery stuff, but let us look at whether this bears out in reality. (We already know from the paradox that is Aldrat VIII (no water, teaming with life) that Temperate planets are not guaranteed to have very much water at all.)
