Frozen Forest Asteroid guide: the cold forest moonlet and example seeds

• Wood and oxygen from the start biome: 14 to 18 Arbor Trees and Oxyferns on the sample seeds.
• Cold all around: Wheezeworts, brine ice and the frozen biomes give cooling without machines.
• Rust, 700 to 900 tonnes, plus iron ore and some Aluminum Ore.
• A Cool Slush Geyser on every seed, within 54 cells of the pod on all three samples.

• Chlorine: one guaranteed vent within 48 cells of the pod on every sample seed, and seed 909090 rolled a second one plus a hot polluted oxygen vent.
• Little sand and sandstone, so Hatch food and filter material are scarce.
• Cold farms: Mealwood stops below 10 ºC, so the first farm needs a warm room.

1. Cycle 1: Research Station, Outhouse, Mealwood on the forest dirt.
2. Cycle 1 to 5: protect the Oxyferns and add a Oxygen Diffuser if algae is close.
3. Cycle 3 to 10: tap the Cool Slush Geyser; filter its polluted water before drinking.
4. Cycle 10 to 30: Arbor Trees and a Wood Burner for power; seal the chlorine vent.
5. Cycle 20 onward: the teleporter to the The Desolands Asteroid for oil and steam.

The start is mild; the danger is the cold around it and the chlorine vent. Keep bedrooms and farms warm with machine heat, insulate them from the frozen biomes, and seal the chlorine vent before the gas reaches the base.

Medium Boulders. A Minor Volcano sits 28 cells to the left of the pod at (28, 66), and the Cool Slush Geyser 34 cells below at (50, 39).

A Salt Water Geyser 48 cells away at (96, 48) averages 4.0 kg/s, the strongest water source in this guide.

Volcanic Activity and Frozen Friend. Two Volcano rolls at (14, 77) and (103, 41), both within 51 cells, and a Liquid Sulfur Geyser 30 cells away. The hottest Frozen Forest of the three.

Medium Boulders and Metal Rich: about 870 tonnes of iron ore. The Cool Slush Geyser is 30 cells away at (83, 83), but two Chlorine Gas Vent vents and a Hot Polluted Oxygen Vent sit within 43 cells.

The non-start Frozen Forest in the Desolands cluster, three hexes away: Crashed Satellites, a Natural Gas Geyser, a Hydrogen Vent, a Minor Volcano and a Cool Slush Geyser. As a rocket target it is a wood, power and cooling outpost.

The Frozen Forest grows into a wood and cooling colony. Arbor Trees feed ethanol and the wood burner, the cold biomes cool industry for free, and the Desolands at the end of the teleporter supplies oil.
