Oxygen not Included features different biomes in the game. These biomes represent the changes in Temperature, Metals, Gases, Plants, etc. Each biome consists of Plants, Metal, and Solids that suit the temperature and location of that biome.
Oxygen not Included Biomes
These biomes are located in Asteroids. There are nine Asteroids in total, which include:
- Terra
- Oceania
- Volcanea
- The Badlands
- Verdante
- Oasisse
- Rime
- Arboria
- Aridio
Inside each of the Asteriod, you are going to find a combination of these biomes. Therefore, the location of these biomes depends on which Asteroid we will be looking at.
Below we will be discussing the features and stats of these different biomes provided to us. There is a total of ten biomes in Oxygen not founded. These include:
Caustic Biome
The temperature of this biome is 40°C which shows that the biome is pretty hot. The Bleach Stone keeps the Duplicants happy with a Hand Sanitizer and Phosphorite is used as a fertilizer for Pincha Pepper.
Pincha Pepper plants produce Pincha Peppernut for the Electric Grill and Balm Lilies make Vitamin Chews. Chlorine Geyser is used as a renewable source for chlorine.
- Temperature Range: 40°C
- Metal: Iron Ore
- Rocks: Igneous Rock
- Minerals: Phosphorite, Algae, Bleach Stone, Coal, Coal Steam Vent, Natural Gas Geyser, Chlorine Gas Vent, Oxylite
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: N/A
- Atmospheric Gases: Chlorine, Hydrogen
- Plants and Critters: Morb, Drecko, Pincha Pepper, Balm Lily
Temperate Biome
The place is not that warm and provides you with clean water. Copper is used as a decor booster.
Muckroot, Mealwood, and Bristle Blossom plants provide you with food. You are provided with five Oxylite tiles for oxygen while for later, you can do research on how to generate more Oxygen.
- Temperature Range: 19.85°C – 24.85°C
- Metal: Copper Ore
- Rocks: Sandstone
- Minerals: Algae, Coal, Dirt, Fertilizer, Oxylite, Sand
- Border Minerals: Granite, Igneous Rock
- Liquids: Water
- Atmospheric Gases: Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Buried Muckroot, Mealwood, Bristle Blossom, Bruff Briar
Swamp Biome
This warm biome consists of Polluted Oxygen which is added on by the polluted water and slime.
After researching on how to generate oxygen, players can use Algae and Slime in order to produce fresh Oxygen. Gold Amalgam is heat resistant. Thimble Reed is used in making clothes.
- Temperature Range: 30°C
- Metal: Gold Amalgam
- Rocks: Sedimentary Rock
- Minerals: Slime, Algae, Clay, Oxylite, Cool Steam Vent, Natural Gas Geyser
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: Polluted Water
- Atmospheric Gases: Polluted Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Thimble Reed, Dusk Cap, Pacu, Paft
Frozen Biome
This biome is really cold hence if you do not want to catch a cold, do wear sweaters made in the Textile Factory. Granite and Wolframite are very beneficial due to their heat transferring abilities.
- Temperature Range: -30°C to -40°C
- Metal: Wolframite
- Rocks: Granite
- Minerals: Ice, Polluted Ice, Snow
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: N/A
- Atmospheric Gases: Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Wheezewort, Sleet Wheat
Forest Biome
This biome is home for Pip. You are provided with Oxylite to use as oxygen until you generate your own oxygen. The biome is a little warm.
- Temperature Range: 19.85°C – 24.85°C
- Metal: Aluminum Ore
- Rocks: Igneous Rock
- Minerals: Dirt, Oxylite, Phosphorite
- Border Minerals: Granite, Igneous Rock
- Liquids: Water
- Atmospheric Gases: Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Pip, Shinebug, Forest Muckroot, Mealwood, Arbor Tree, Oxyfern, Mirth Leaf
Rust Biome
The biome doesn’t contain any oxygen hence you need to search for oxygen and try to generate it here. Nosh Sprout provides you with the Nosh beans which provide as your food source.
- Temperature Range: -10°C
- Metal: Iron Ore
- Rocks: Mafic Rock
- Minerals: Rust, Salt
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: N/A
- Atmospheric Gases: Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Nosh Sprout, Dasha Saltvine
Tide Pool Biome
Tide Pool Biome contains Salt Water, Brine, Salt, Sand, Sedimentary Rock, Granite. Waterweed grows here. Pokeshell lives in Salt Water pools.
- Temperature Range: Unknown
- Metal: None
- Rocks: Sedimentary Rock, Granite
- Minerals: Salt, Sand
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: Salt Water, Brine
- Atmospheric Gases: Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Pokeshell, Waterweed
Volcanic Biome
Volcanic biomes appear at the very bottom of the map. It only contains liquid Magma, about 1,600°C, and Neutronium which can’t be destroyed.
- Temperature Range: Unknown
- Metal: None
- Rocks: None
- Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Border Minerals: Neutronium
- Liquids: Magma
- Atmospheric Gases: None
- Plants and Critters: None
Oil Biome
It contains Crude Oil, Oil Reservoirs, veins of Diamond, Granite, Obsidian and Iron Ore and pockets of Natural Gas and Carbon Dioxide. It is inhabited by Slicksters.
- Temperature Range: 80°C – 380°C
- Metal: Iron Ore
- Rocks: Igneous Rock, Granite
- Minerals: Diamond, Obsidian, Oil Reservoir, Fossil
- Border Minerals: Abyssalite, Neutronium
- Liquids: Crude Oil
- Atmospheric Gases: Carbon Dioxide
- Plants and Critters: Slickster
Space Biome
Space1 biome can destroy all kinds of gases. These gases are sucked into the vacuum of space through the open background, and in the absence of gases, heat cannot dissipate from materials and objects.
Adding Drywalls helps to construct rooms that can hold air.
- Temperature Range: Unknown
- Metal: Iron
- Rocks: Mafic Rock
- Minerals: Regolith, Granite, Igneous Rock
- Border Minerals: N/A
- Liquids: None
- Atmospheric Gases: None
- Plants and Critters: Shove Vole
