Natural resources

In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:

• Ammoniacal solution
• Lithium brine
• Fluorine
• 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

• Water can be obtained via Ammoniacal solution separation and Ice melting
• Stone is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
• Iron ore is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
• Copper ore is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
• Coal is not available and must be shipped in from other planets
• 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 robots and logistic robots much weaker, making them consume 5 times more power than normal.

Following Entities are immune from freezing

• Solar panel
• Accumulator
• Heat exchanger
• Heating tower
• Heat pipe
• Small electric pole
• Medium electric pole
• Big electric pole
• Substation
• Cargo landing pad
• Cargo bay

Solar

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