Aquilo preview.png

Aquilo a desolate, freezing ocean planet. Its surface consists solely of a vast ocean of liquid ammonia, with the occasional floating iceberg.

Progression wise, Aquilo is meant to be visited after establishing factories on all the previous planets. Planet discovery Aquilo (research) requires rocket turrets, Advanced asteroid processing (research), and heating towers from Gleba, Asteroid reprocessing (research) from Vulcanus, and Electromagnetic science pack (research) from Fulgora.

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

Natural resources

In terms of directly exploitable natural resources, Aquilo has:

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

Mechanics

The starting area on Aquilo is a relatively small patch of snow and ice terrain. Snowy terrain can be built on, but buildings require concrete tiles (or derivatives) to be placed as insulation for the building. Beyond this small platform is the vast ammoniacal seas, which have small dots of icey terrain in them, usually around resource geysers.

On Aquilo, most terrain must be constructed. Ice platforms are created by first using Ammoniacal solution separation to make ice and ammonia, then combining those into a platform.

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 (except in a few particular locations); 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.

Once a building is attached to an adjacent heat pipe, it will consume heat energy to maintain it's state, reducing the energy (and temperature) in the heat pipe. Note that underground belts and pipes are substantially larger heat drains than their above-ground versions.

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.

Space routes

Aquilo is connected to 2 other planets, Gleba and Fulgora, along with the Solar system edge

Planet Distance
Planet Distance (km)
Gleba 30,000
Fulgora 30,000
Solar system edge 100,000
