Description

Acid worlds are represented in the solar system view as green planets and and tend to be resource poor, offering only large quantities of Common Minerals in the form of Acids and low chances of bearing life.

Acid worlds have low to moderate tectonics (2 to 5) and weather conditions (1 to 4) with average gravity (0.24 - 0.38). Fuel costs for landing vary between 0.5 and 0.8 with an average of 0.62. Overall Acid worlds tend to be around one third of the size of Earth and three quarters lack an atmosphere.

Resources

The following resources are found on Acid Worlds:

Mineral	Category	Deposit Size	Avg Dwarf1	Avg Giant2	Avg Super3
Formic Acid	Common	Heavy	31	41	51
Hydrochloric Acid	Common	Heavy	31	41	51
Hydrocyanic Acid	Common	Heavy	31	41	51
Nitric Acid	Common	Heavy	31	41	51
Phosphoric Acid	Common	Heavy	31	41	51
Sulfuric Acid	Common	Heacy	31	41	51

Life forms are rare and are found on only 10.8% of Acid Worlds, accounting for an average of 52 units per life bearing world. (Minimum 2, Maximum 186).
