Identifying valuable planets: Difference between revisions

Moving on to the more complicated question of looking at resource mixtures, we now consider the possibility of not just feeding other producers of the higher levels of production with raw materials, but trying to make something completely ourselves, preferably on one planet. We know from the [[Planetary Commodities#Tier 2 (P2)|Planetary Commodities]] page that there are some planets that can completely make a particular product. For example,

* Livestock are made from Biofuels (made from Carbon Compounds) and Proteins (made from Complex Organisms). Both of these could be found on Oceanic and Temperate planets. Looking at the abundances, both are fairly variable, and so it bears some work hunting for one with a balance of both.

* Livestock are made from Biofuels (made from Carbon Compounds) and Proteins (made from Complex Organisms). Both of these could be found on Oceanic and Temperate planets. Looking at the abundances, both are fairly variable, and so it bears some work hunting for one with a balance of both. The sampling on 0.0 suggests that on Oceanic worlds one is more likely to hit Carbon Compounds being off the chart with decent Complex Organisms than vice versa.

* Test Cultures come from Water and Bacteria, so Barren, Ice, Oceanic or Temperate planets could produce these completely.

* Nanites come from Micro Organisms and Base Metals, a combination only available on Barren worlds.
