It is home to the [[pentapods]]{{SA}}, which are spider-like [[enemies]] who are attracted to the scent of biological processing, similar to the way that [[Nauvis]] creatures negatively respond to [[pollution]]. One of the most prominent traits of Gleba is that nearly everything takes a biological form.

*Huge Asteroids only spawn past [[Aquilo]]{{SA}}

Note that while stack inserters ''can'' be crafted off of Gleba, the use of fast-[[spoilage mechanics|spoiling]] [[jelly]] as an ingredient makes doing so somewhat impractical, though hardly impossible.

===Biomes===
=== Biomes ===
 
Gleba's terrain consists of elevated regions of dry, buildable terrain and marshy lower areas marbled with [[Shallow water]] that cannot directly be built upon without [[landfill]]. The dark highlands biome are where [[stone]] may be found. The orange or turquoise midland biomes are also elevated and lack shallow water. [[Cliff]]s usually represent the transition from lower lying areas to higher ones.
 
[[Enemies#Wrigglers|Pentapod]] enemies can only build nests on shallow water tiles (regardless of biome), so midlands and highlands act as natural barriers to their expansion. Artificial barriers can be created by using landfill on available shallow water.
 
The blue biomes are marshes that are typically found next to deep water lakes. Outside of their particular flora, these lands contain nothing special.


Gleba hosts multiple biomes.
The red and green biomes are marshlands where [[Jellystem]] and [[Yumako tree]]s can be found, respectively. They also contain [[Stromatolite|copper and iron stromatolites]] in abundance, making them good sources of ore and ore bacteria.


'''Deep water'''
For the purposes of where crops can be planted, each of these two biomes has 3 kinds of tiles.
An impassable


'''Shallows'''
Fertile soil tiles are those surrounding natural [[Jellystem]]s and [[Yumako tree]]s. These tiles can be planted with seeds and grow trees without any additional intervention. However, there are usually not very many such tiles in a biome.
A walkable murky water, filled with watercanes.
'''Green lowlands'''


'''Red lowlands'''
Around fertile soil tiles are a larger number of wetland tiles. These are shallow water tiles that are not initially plantable, but artificial [[Artificial jellynut soil|jellynut]] and [[Artificial yumako soil|yumako]] soil tiles will make them fertile.


'''Green midlands'''
The vast majority of the biome consists of darker red or green tiles (some are shallow water marshes, while others are buildable terrain) of types other than the above. All of these tiles can have overgrowth [[Overgrowth jellynut soil|jellynut]] and [[Overgrowth yumako soil|yumako]] soils placed on them, making virtually the entire biome farmable (though at substantial cost).


'''Red midlands'''
On the map view, the lightest colored tiles in these biomes are fertile soils, the slightly darker tiles around them are wetlands, and the rest are  tiles that can have overgrowth soils placed on them.


'''Highlands'''
Note that the overgrowth soils can be placed on the same wetland tiles that artificial soils can be placed on. Overgrowth soils have no special effects on those tiles, and they are far more expensive than artificial soils. As such, care should be taken to avoid using the more expensive soils where the less expensive ones will do fine.

{{main|Spoilage mechanics}}
Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into [[spoilage]],{{SA}} with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

When crafting with spoilable items, the final product will inherit the freshness value of the ingredients. The three exceptions are [[Iron Bacteria|iron]] and [[copper bacteria]] cultivation, [[pentapod eggs]] and [[fish]] breeding, whose recipes will always result in a 100% fresh product, regardless of the freshness of the ingredients.
The [[Biochamber]], Gleba's special production building, uses a fuel source, [[nutrients]]. Nutrients also can spoil, and have a short, 5 minute spoil time.
 
== Access to basic resources ==


When crafting with two different spoilable items of different freshness values, like in the [[agricultural science pack]]{{SA}} and [[bioflux]]{{SA}} recipes, the final product's freshness is determined by the average of the ingredients' freshness.
* [[Water]] is readily available using offshore pumps
* [[Stone]] can be mined from patches on the surface as normal
* [[Iron ore]] can be obtained from [[iron bacteria]], which can be cultivated in a [[biochamber]] using [[iron bacteria cultivation]]
* [[Copper ore]] can be obtained from [[copper bacteria]], which can be cultivated in a biochamber using [[copper bacteria cultivation]]
* [[Coal]] can be obtained via [[coal synthesis]]
* [[Crude oil]] is not available. However:
** [[Plastic bar]]s can be obtained from [[bioplastic]]
** [[Sulfur]] can be obtained from [[biosulfur]]
** [[Lubricant]] can be obtained from [[biolubricant]]
** [[Rocket fuel]] can be obtained from [[rocket fuel from jelly]]
** [[Heavy oil]] can be obtained using [[coal liquefaction]], if the initial heavy oil is shipped in from another planet. This is only really useful for [[flamethrower turret]]s, since all other oil products can be obtained more efficiently using the bio recipes. [[Simple coal liquefaction]] is also an option if the [[calcite]] is shipped in from [[space platform]]s using [[advanced oxide asteroid crushing]] or from [[Vulcanus]].


The agricultural science pack does spoil, which will gradually decrease its research value, so the player is incentivized to build a fast space platform to bring them back to Nauvis.
=== Power production ===


Spoilable items are used as ingredients in a few non-spoilable items, such as the [[biochamber]]{{SA}}. In these, the freshness value of the ingredients do not matter in the product being produced.  
The heating tower is a burner device can be used to generate electricity via the use of [[heat exchanger]]s and steam turbines. Gleba renewably generates all its resources, which includes rocket fuel. Traditional boilers can also be used.

Gleba is a moist, agricultural planet with fungal hills and swampy lowlands.

It is home to the pentapods, which are spider-like enemies who are attracted to the scent of biological processing called Spores, similar to the way that Nauvis creatures negatively respond to pollution. One of the most prominent traits of Gleba is that nearly everything takes a biological form.

Planet discovery Gleba (research) is required to travel to the planet.

Mechanics

Main article: Spoilage mechanics

Most biological products on Gleba are "spoilable". A spoilable item has an inherent timer attached to it, which begins at the item's creation. When the timer reaches 0, the item is transformed into spoilage, with a few exceptions. This process is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

The exact time differs per item, ranging anywhere from a few minutes to 2 hours. This means that item throughput is more important than ever on Gleba, and buffering a large stockpile is ineffective, as items can spoil within containers.

The Biochamber, Gleba's special production building, uses a fuel source, nutrients. Nutrients also can spoil, and have a short, 5 minute spoil time.

Access to basic resources

Power production

The heating tower is a burner device can be used to generate electricity via the use of heat exchangers and steam turbines. Gleba renewably generates all its resources, which includes rocket fuel. Traditional boilers can also be used.

Space routes

Gleba is connected to 4 other planets: Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Aquilo.
