Radioactive Forest Asteroid guide: Squelchy's teleporter world
AsteroidsMedium
Forest, rust, ocean and uranium behind the Squelchy teleporter, with two in-game seeds.
The Radioactive Forest Asteroid is the teleporter world of the Squelchy Cluster: 160 × 176 cells of forest, four or more rust biomes, four or more oceans, radioactive biomes, uranium fields and a frozen core. The game describes it as largely forested with a great deal of rust. For the polluted swamp start it is the clean side of the cluster: wood, oxygen plants and fresh food.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Size | 160 × 176 cells |
| Where you find it | The Squelchy Cluster, three hexes from the start; reached through the start teleporter or by rocket. |
| Arrival | A Duplicant teleporter from the start asteroid lands here next to a supply teleporter pair, with boon rooms (bedroom, washroom, power, kitchen, well or farm) on most seeds. |
| Biomes | Forest arrival area and forest, four or more rust biomes, four or more oceans, three or more radioactive biomes, uranium fields, frozen uranium fields and a frozen core. |
| Guaranteed | Carbon Dioxide Geysers in the uranium fields, and rolls from metal volcanoes, water vents and gas vents. |
| Peak light and radiation | 35,000 lux of sunlight and 125 rads of cosmic radiation at the surface. |
| World traits | Always exactly two random traits. |
Strengths
- Arbor Trees and 13 to 23 Oxyferns in the forest.
- Food plants Squelchy lacks: Nosh Sprout (Nosh Sprout) and Dasha Saltvine, 22 to 37 of each, and Waterweed in the oceans.
- Rust, 720 to 950 tonnes, and Uranium Ore, 100 to 120 tonnes.
- A Salt Water Geyser and a Cool Salt Slush Geyser on both sample seeds.
Weaknesses
- Radioactive biomes and extremely cold uranium fields.
- Ocean pockets flood tunnels if opened carelessly.
What to target first after landing
- Teleport over and use the boon rooms.
- Plant Nosh Sprouts and Dasha Saltvine from the wild seeds.
- Cut Arbor Trees for wood and ship it home through the supply teleporter.
- Mine uranium ore in short trips once radiation research starts.
Surviving the asteroid
Keep the crew in the forest and oceans and wall off the radioactive biomes.

Role in the colony
The Radioactive Forest Asteroid gives the Squelchy colony wood, oxygen plants and a second food chain, and is where it starts radbolt research.
