Finding Your System
Finding Your System
While the system requirements for a Stasis Device farm are quite low and very easy to find, the UAS already has two for people to build and farm together in and share in each other’s work, available on all platforms and difficulties, but restricted to Euclid, and soon Eissentam, so if you are interested in that, you can skip this section and we’ll cover the location a bit later in the guide.
Otherwise, if you wish to find your own, or establish one in your or another’s civilization, then you are going to want to look for a system with 3 specific planet types.
These are a Cold planet, Hot Planet, and a Lush planet.
Planets with these Biome Types can be recognised by the existence of their respective crops when scanning the planet from space.
Cold planets will indicate they have Frost Crystal available
Hot planets will indicate they have Solanium available
Lush planets will indicate they have Star Bulb available
You will also need to ensure that one of these planets has Cobalt available. You can have a separate planet outside of these 3 with Cobalt present but for maximum efficiency you’ll want the cobalt producing planet to be one that also has Oxygen, which will be available on all of the 6 primary biome types for crops of Hot, Cold, Lush, Dusty, Toxic and Radioactive and a few others.
I would recommend that in general, when looking for this system, you check systems with a yellow star as visible from the Galactic Map that has 5 or 6 planets or moons, 1 which is Hot, 1 Cold and 1 Lush as well as one of the planets having Cobalt.
The extra planets will be useful for many and required for large farms on a console to spread out and reduce potential lag and bug issues.
What we want from these planets is Radon and Dioxite from the Cold, Sulphurine and Phosphorus from the Hot, Nitrogen and Paraffinium from the Lush, and then Oxygen and Cobalt from 1 of them.
All crops will be planted in Bio-Domes, so the planet the crops are planted on does not matter.
Once you have found your system, you are going to need to find some Hotspots to provide both power and resources for your farms.
Xaine, if you find a power spot and can establish a base in any system, is it really important to have all of these in one system? Often it seems zipping around a system in a ship takes longer than a base teleporter…
I would also like to know the answer to the previous question.
It’s not necessary to have these all in the same system, but it makes inventory control easier as you can have your freighter present in that one system to use it’s storage with the Matter Beam technology. Then anywhere in your system you can use your freighter inventory (rooms 0-9).
I think the reason behind this is the loading time. If you use the base teleporter in the same system it is much faster than teleport into another one.
