Space Age expansion exclusive feature.
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.

The following items are unlocked on Gleba and can only be crafted on-planet:

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. Cliffs usually represent the transition from lower lying areas to higher ones.
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.
The red and green biomes are marshlands where Jellystem and Yumako trees can be found, respectively. They also contain copper and iron stromatolites in abundance, making them good sources of ore and ore bacteria.
For the purposes of where crops can be planted, each of these two biomes has 3 kinds of tiles.
Fertile soil tiles are those surrounding natural Jellystems and Yumako trees. 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.
Around fertile soil tiles are a larger number of wetland tiles. These are shallow water tiles that are not initially plantable, but artificial jellynut and yumako soil tiles will make them fertile.
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 jellynut and yumako soils placed on them, making virtually the entire biome farmable (though at substantial cost).
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.
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.
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
- 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 bars 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 turrets, since all other oil products can be obtained more efficiently using the bio recipes.
Space routes
Gleba is connected to 4 other planets: Nauvis, Vulcanus, Fulgora, and Aquilo.
| Planet | Distance (km) |
|---|---|
| Nauvis | 15,000 |
| Vulcanus |
15,000 |
| Fulgora |
15,000 |
| Aquilo |
30,000 |

Example landscape of Gleba.
Trivia
- In biology, a gleba is a fleshy, spore-filled inner mass of some fungus like the puffball.
- During development, Gleba was once named Bacchus, after the Roman god of fertility, orchards, and vegetation.
