Terrestrial Comparison
Nova Terra vs Verdania
Comparing Nova Terra and Verdania, both Terrestrial worlds in Starforge MMO. They share a planet class, so they compete for the same colony slot — the better target depends on resource yields and how hard each is to settle.
Resource Yields & Colonization
| Attribute | Nova Terra | Verdania |
|---|---|---|
| Atmosphere | standard | thick |
| Colonizable | Yes | Yes |
| Colonization difficulty | 1▼ | 2 |
| Bio Material yield | 1.2× | 2.4×★ |
| Crystal yield | 1.6× | — |
| Gas yield | — | 0.8× |
| Metal yield | 1.8× | — |
★ marks the higher resource yield multiplier; ▼ marks the lower (easier) colonization difficulty. A world without a needed resource shows “—”.
Nova Terra
Terrestrial
Nova Terra is a jewel-class terrestrial world blessed with breathable air, a stable axial tilt, and continents striated with deep metal and crystal veins. Its lush temperate biome supports rapid colony expansion, making it one of the most coveted colonization targets in the known galaxy. Rich ore deposits near the surface mean new settlements can become productive mines within weeks of landing.
Verdania
Terrestrial
Verdania is an ocean world where shallow archipelagos host vast alien kelp forests and bioluminescent reef ecosystems teeming with harvestable organic compounds. The thick nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere is breathable but humid, and the near-constant rainfall makes overland transport impractical — all colonies are built on floating platform cities. Bio-material extraction rates here are among the highest recorded in explored space.
Which Planet Should You Colonize?
Nova Terra carries the higher combined resource yield, making it the stronger long-term economy world. Nova Terra is easier to settle (lower colonization difficulty), so it is the safer early pick when you cannot yet field a heavy colony fleet.
