Stinko Swamp Asteroid guide: Rime's warm teleporter world
AsteroidsMedium
Swamps, steamy marshes and metal volcanoes behind the Rime teleporter, with two in-game seeds.
The Stinko Swamp Asteroid is the teleporter world of the Rime Cluster: 160 × 176 cells of swamp, three or more steamy hot marshes, four or more beetle wastelands, a gassy jungle, three to five frozen biomes and a small magma core. The game describes it as a polluted swamp world with enough variety to keep a colony supplied. For a Rime colony it is the warm half of the cluster.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Size | 160 × 176 cells |
| Where you find it | Rime 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 | Swamp arrival area and swamp, steamy hot marshes, beetle and worm wastelands, a gassy jungle, coaly granite, three to five frozen biomes and a small magma core. |
| Guaranteed | An AETN heat sink in the tundra, 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
- Warm-climate food: Bog Buckets, Mellow Mallows, Balm Lilies and Pincha Pepper alongside Sleet Wheat.
- Sweetles (28 to 39) and Pacu (19 to 22).
- Gold Volcanoes on both sample seeds; the first seed also had an Iron Volcano and four big volcanoes.
- Water vents on both seeds, including two Water Geysers on the second.
Weaknesses
- Polluted water, polluted dirt and mud carry germs.
- Chlorine Gas Vents rolled on both sample seeds.
- No radioactive biomes and no uranium ore: radbolt research needs another asteroid.
What to target first after landing
- Teleport over, wash at the arrival, and set up a Water Sieve first.
- Plant the warm crops that do not grow on Rime.
- Tap a Gold Volcano for refined metal.
- Seal the chlorine vents.
Surviving the asteroid
Germs are the main risk; treat every pool as contaminated until purified.

Role in the colony
The Stinko Swamp Asteroid gives a Rime colony warm farms, water and gold. Use it for the crops the cold start cannot grow.
