starsector vanilla overhaul, play it while it's hot. Or before 0.98 patch comes out, I guess

The ore conditions appear to be giving it a two thumbs down, so: probably not!

I never thoughtInimical Biosphere could have been harmful bacteria
always thought of them as xynomorphs as one would imagine alien life

but then i always wondered how that one cryo-volcanic world had Inimical Biosphere

very cool concept

I assume that's what the game implies. There's a separate icon for xenomorphs in the game's files that is unused

I just use it as an imagination thing. Maybe it’s super spooky bacteria or maybe it’s home to mega T-Rex? You can decide!

I think complex life is extremely rare if it exists at all in the Persean Sector. Or space... In the Starsector's universe.

Volturn, Jangala have primitive native life. I think. There is no mention of actual animals at all. There is only that one gas giant in Valhalla if I recall correctly. But that's a conspiracy theory. Inimical biosphere funnily enough doesn't even necessarily imply alien life. The things that terrorise the landscape could be just mutated Terran-analogues left behind by the initial Domain terraforming projects.

The gas giant the life on Chalcedon descended from is also not described. And considering Domain took barely any interest in studying it, it mustn't have been that interesting.

The most complex life besides humanity I think are the hyperspace entities. Whatever they are.
That reminds me... I used to have nightmares about phase giants.

There's a VERY old game (I played it as a teenager in the mid-late 80s) called Starflight that had critters as valuable economic commodities. Would be really neat to see that IG (and to see in which markets such things would be illegal), because of all the various resources xenobiology could provide. Redundant to harvested organs perhaps, but in a way like Volturnian Lobster - it's only coming out of specialized markets, but a lot of folks might want it -- Tri-tac would probably have negative interest in it, but I bet a bunch of Independents and Pirates might, and LCers would either ban the trade outright as an immoral harvest for Mammon's gain, or else be all-in on it because "fight the machine, spread life everywhere."

Inimical biospehere for me basically boils down to ''This planet biosphere hates you as much as australia does or more'' and that could be whatever

I always thought inimical biosphere meant something like in Jangala, where you have to wash and sterilize everything brought in from the outside otherwise it causes infection, severe allergies, and toxicity.

'Cause frankly, there's few things that can outhunt a human.  They're like a Hyperion with low-tech ppt.
