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, Oceanic, Storm, and Temperate 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.) | |||
Scanning the samples below, we find that Ice, Oceanic, and Storm worlds do seem to be good sources. However, Temperate planets sometimes have amazing supplies, and sometimes really bad abundance. | |||
=== Autotrophs (Industrial Fibers) === | |||
Summary: Temperate | |||
This one is simple. They can only be found on Temperate worlds, however if looking in High Sec, shop for your world a little carefully. | |||
=== Base Metals (Reactive Gas) === | |||
Summary: Barren, Gas, Storm | |||
These can be found on Gas, Storm, Barren, Plasma, and Lava Planets, but the best abundance in our sample is on Barren, Gas, and Storm. However, none of them give really horrible abundances. | |||
=== Carbon Compounds (Biofuels) === | |||
Summary: Temperate, Barren; Selected Oceanic | |||
These can be found on Barren, Temperate, and Oceanic worlds. There are pretty good yields on all three, but the most consistent abundances are on Temperate. However, Oceanic worlds have the variability seen in Aqueous Liquids on Temperate worlds, so you could get fantastic abundance, or very little. | |||
=== Complex Organisms (Proteins) === | |||
Summary: Selected Oceanic and Temperate. | |||
These can be found on Temperate and Oceanic worlds. Both have rather variable abundances, so choose carefully. | |||
=== Felsic Magma (Silicon) === | |||
Summary: Lava | |||
This can only be found on Lava worlds, but the high sec survey suggests that the best option might be start shopping in Low Sec or 0.0 if you want to get decent yields. | |||
=== Heavy Metals (Toxic Metals) === | |||
Summary: Ice, Lava | |||
These can be found on Ice, Lava, and Plasma worlds, but the best yields seem to be on Ice worlds. | |||
=== Ionic Solutions (Electrolytes) === | |||
Summary: Selected Storm | |||
These can be found on Gas, and Storm worlds, but Storm worlds seem to have a better abundance. Though the Gas abundance is not too bad. | |||
=== Micro Organisms (Bacteria) === | |||
Summary: Oceanic, Barren; Selected Temperate | |||
These can be found on Ice, Barren, Temperate, and Oceanic worlds. THe best abundances seem to be on Oceanic and Barren, with Temperate having a high variability giving almost nothing or very good. | |||
=== Noble Gas (Oxygen) === | |||
Summary: Gas, Storm | |||
These can be found on Gas, Ice, and Storm worlds. While Ice worlds give OK yield, Gas and Storm worlds seem to give the best abundances. | |||
=== Noble Metals (Precious Metals) === | |||
Summary: Plasma | |||
These can be found on Barren, and Plasma worlds, but Plasma worlds give somewhat better abundances. | |||
=== Non-Cs Crystals (Chiral Structures) === | |||
Summary: Lava | |||
These can be found on Lava, and Plasma worlds, but Lava worlds seem to have somewhat better abundances. | |||
=== Planktic Colonies (Biomass) === | |||
Summary: Ocean, Ice | |||
These can be found on Ice and Ocean worlds, in about equal abundances. | |||
=== Reactive Gas (Oxidizing Compound) === | |||
Summary: Gas | |||
This is only available on Gas worlds, and as usual to get decent abundances, you have to look into visitting Low Sec. | |||
=== Suspended Plasma (Plasmoids) === | |||
Summary: Storm, Lava | |||
This can be found on Storm, Lava, and Plasma worlds. Ironically, Storm and Lava worlds seem to have much better abundance of this than Plasma worlds. | |||
