=== Natural Resources ===
In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:
* {{NavboxIconLink|Ammoniacal solution}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Lithium brine}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluorine}}{{SA}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}}

With crude oil being the only non-exclusive resource to Aquilo, excluding ice obtained from [[Lithium Ice Formation]].

Stone, iron and copper (and coal if desired) need to be imported from other planets as Aquilo lacks ways to obtain these from the environment.

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained via {{NavboxIconLink|Ammoniacal solution separation}} and {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} can be obtained using pumpjacks as normal

== Mechanics ==
=== Freezing ===
Aquilo is brutally cold. Most entities will freeze and stop working unless heated by a [[heat pipe]] in an adjacent tile. Heat can be generated by the [[nuclear reactor]] or [[heating tower]]. Buildings also cannot be placed on the surface of the iceberg itself; [[concrete]] (or its variants) must be placed underneath as an insulator. The harshly low temperature will also make [[construction robot]]s and [[logistic robot]]s much weaker, making them consume 5 times more power than normal.

Aquilo is also far from the sun, and so [[solar panel]]s only output at 1% of their rate on Nauvis, or 0.6 kW during the day.

== Biomes ==
Fulgora is split between two distinct biomes.
* '''Plateaus''' are islands dotted around the landscape. They are the only biome where factories can be built. Some plateaus are home to [[alien ruins]], which have rudimentary lightning rods, which can protect your buildings until unlocking your own lightning rods. Other plateaus hold [[scrap]]{{SA}}, Fulgora's sole resource.
* '''Oilsands''' are the lowlands between the plateaus. No buildings can be built in them except for [[rail support]]s{{SA}}. You can walk through them, but occasional oilpatches will slow you to a crawl. An [[offshore pump]] can be placed on the edge of oilsands to produce an unlimited amount of [[heavy oil]].

=== Terrain ===
Fulgoran terrain is mainly composed of oillands, on which nothing except for [[rail support]]s can be built. Traversal by foot across the oillands is possible, but slow. The oillands are further divided into deep and shallow areas, with deep areas slowing down player movement even further and not even allowing for rail supports to be built without research. 

However, the oillands are also scattered with islands of various sizes, on which normal construction is possible. At first, these are the only place on Fulgora where factories can be built, as [[foundation]] for building on top of the oillands requires research that can not be performed until much later.

The islands come in three size classes:
* Small islands with high amounts of resources, but with little room to build on
* Medium islands with lower amounts of resources, and with sufficient room for a small factory
* Large islands with no resources, but with enough room to build the main part of a medium-sized factory

It is possible for two or more islands to overlap, potentially creating an even larger island that does have local resources. However, most islands are detached, meaning that transport between islands will have to occur by train. In many cases, the distance between two islands is also too vast for [[roboport]]s or [[big electric pole]]s to reach, thus requiring local [[logistic network|logistic]] and [[electric system|electric networks]] to be built, as neither roboports nor power poles can be built on the oillands without [[foundation]].

== Mechanics ==
=== Lightning ===
During [[time|nighttime]], dense thunderstorms occur on Fulgora, with frequent lightning strikes occurring across the surface. Lightning will strike each chunk once, every 10 seconds or so ( lightnings_per_chunk_per_tick = 1 / (60 * 10), --cca once per chunk every 10 seconds (600 ticks) )

If a lightning strike is set to occur near a [[lightning rod]], [[lightning collector]], or [[fulgoran lightning attractor]], then the lightning will always hit said entity, rendering the lightning harmless. However, if such an entity can not be found, the lightning will strike where it occurs, causing damage to nearby entities.

Lightning will target entities based on priority first and then random for any entity not on the priority list (Higher priority gets hit first)
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Lightning priority
|-
! Entity !! Priority Value
|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Lightning collector}}{{SA}} || 10,000

|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Fulgoran ruin big}} || 92
|-
| {{NavboxIconLink|Fulgoran ruin medium}} || 91
|}

The following items have a priority of 1
* {{NavboxIconLink|pipe}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|offshore pump}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|electric poles}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|power switch}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|logistic robot}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|construction robot}}
* Anything with the "Metal" impact soundset
 
The following entities cannot be struck by the lightning
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail support}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail ramp}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Rail chain signal}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Locomotive}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Artillery wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Cargo wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Fluid wagon}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Wall}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|tree}}
* Any item that counts as rock for "filtered destruction" (I assume this means recycler)

When a [[lightning rod]] or a [[lightning collector]] is struck by lightning, it will generate a brief but powerful burst of electric energy, which can be utilized by connecting it to the [[electric system|electric network]]. With enough [[accumulator]]s to last during daytime or between lightning strikes, this can serve as the factory's main power source.

With this, lightning on Fulgora become both a curse and a blessing: Players must keep their factory covered by lightning rods or collectors to avoid damage, and nighttime exploration becomes dangerous and risky. However, to an established base, lightning become a convenient source of electric energy, which is especially important given the weak [[solar panel|solar output]] on Fulgora's surface and the difficulty of setting up a global electric network on Fulgora before [[foundation]] becomes available.

=== Natural resources ===
Aside from numerous items that can be collected by mining ancient ruins, only two "natural" resources occur on Fulgora, those being [[heavy oil]] and [[scrap]].

Heavy oil can be obtained in infinite and non-diminishing amounts by placing an [[offshore pump]] on the shore of an island, allowing it to collect heavy oil directly from the oillands.

Scrap is found in deposits on small and medium sized islands, as if it were an ore. However, in stark contrast to most other natural resources, scrap is not directly processed into a single basic resource like [[iron plate|iron]] or [[copper plate]]s using traditional production methods. Rather, it is [[recycler|recycled]] to produce a variety of items: 
*{{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Stone}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Holmium ore}} {{SA}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Solid fuel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Steel plate}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Copper_cable|Copper Cable}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Iron gear wheel}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|battery}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Advanced circuit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Processing unit}}
*{{NavboxIconLink|Low density structure}}

Since this list includes intermediate products, such as [[processing unit]]s, but no iron or copper plates, players are often forced to further recycle many of these items in order to obtain their ingredients. Players are thus left with the decision of what items to recycle, all while having to avoid clobbering their belts with unused resources. 

== Access to basic resources ==

* {{NavboxIconLink|Water}} can be obtained from {{NavboxIconLink|Ice}} via {{NavboxIconLink|Ice melting}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Stone}} comes from recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Iron ore}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Iron plate}} and {{NavboxIconLink|Concrete}} can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Copper ore}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Copper plate}} can be obtained by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Coal}} cannot be obtained and must be shipped in from other planets. However:
** {{NavboxIconLink|Plastic bar}}s can be obtained by by recycling {{NavboxIconLink|Scrap}}
* {{NavboxIconLink|Crude oil}} is not available, but {{NavboxIconLink|Heavy oil}} is readily available using offshore pumps
