Moo Asteroid guide: Gassy Moos, Gas Grass and chlorine
AsteroidsMedium
How to bring Gassy Moos home from their asteroid, with three in-game seeds.
The Moo Asteroid is the home of Gassy Moo (Gassy Moos): a 96 × 80 cell planetoid of igneous rock and granite with caverns full of Gas Grass and Chlorine Gas. The game names it the natural breeding ground of Gassy Moos thanks to its Gas Grass and natural gas.
Every sample held 9 to 16 Gassy Moos and 31 to 55 Gas Grass plants, plus a guaranteed Chlorine Gas Vent.
A planetoid like this one is generated from the seed number alone: the samples below came out identical in every cluster that used the same seed, and only the distance from the start changed.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Size | 96 × 80 cells |
| Where you find it | Every Spaced Out! cluster in this series: the Terrania, Folia and Quagmiris clusters, the five moonlet clusters, Skewed, and the classic-style clusters. It sits five to fifteen hexes from the start, depending on the cluster. |
| Biomes | Moo caverns, moo chasms and a frozen moo core. |
| Guaranteed | A Chlorine Gas Vent and a Gravitas genetics lab. |
| Peak light and radiation | 80,000 lux of sunlight and 312 rads of cosmic radiation at the surface. |
| Meteor showers | Gassy Mooteor showers that drop Gassy Moos. |
| World traits | None or one random trait. |
Strengths
- Gassy Moos, the critter that turns Gas Grass into natural gas and milk.
- Gas Grass plants to replant at home.
- Strong sunlight (80,000 lux) for solar panels on an outpost.
- Chlorine, as gas and as solid chlorine, for disinfection.
Weaknesses
- Chlorine atmosphere: Duplicants need suits.
- No water, food or metal worth mining.
- High cosmic radiation (312 rads) at the surface.
What to target first after landing
- Land with Atmo Suits and capture a few Gassy Moos.
- Collect Gas Grass seeds.
- Bring both home by rocket and build a Moo ranch with Gas Grass and a Milking Station.
- Leave the rest of the herd; the Mooteor showers keep the asteroid stocked.
Surviving the asteroid
Visits are short. Wear suits, take the Moos and the Gas Grass, and return.

Role in the colony
The Moo Asteroid is a one-trip destination: it supplies the Gassy Moo ranch that turns grass into natural gas power at home.
