"Habitable" can have two separate meanings, and both meanings can be true at the same time.

Habitable Orbit Zone

Worlds in the habitable orbit zone are commonly referred to as "habitable worlds". This does not however mean that those worlds always support life. Worlds in the habitable orbit zone are however much more likely to support life than worlds in other orbit zones. Also, worlds in the habitable orbit zone are the only ones that can naturally support sentient life and indigenous populations.

For more information, see the Orbit_Zone page.

Habitable Environment

The environment of a world can be habitable even when not in the habitable orbit zone.

Worlds in the inner, habitable, and outer orbit zones can support life if the environment allows it. This depends on the atmosphere of the world.

An environment is habitable if all these conditions are true:

  • The world is in the inner, habitable, or outer orbit zone
  • The world's atmosphere density is between 15 and 85 percent
  • The world's atmosphere type is standard or tainted

These worlds' atmospheres will be described as Breathable in survey reports. If they're not habitable, their dangerous traits be listed, such as Acidic, Inferno and Trace.

For more information, see the Atmosphere page.

Habitability Classes

Habitable World

If a world is both in the habitable orbit zone and has a habitable environment, it will be able to naturally support sentient life, which means it can have an indigenous population and be able to spawn one officer.

Semi-Habitable World

Worlds in the inner and outer orbit zones cannot be home to an indigenous population, but some can contain plant and animal life. Animal life on these worlds is bigger and more deadly.

Note that not all inner/outer worlds can support life. Some have atmospheres that result in them being barren wastelands, much like inferno or frigid worlds.

Cities on these worlds will not require harsh environment enclosures, but they will still need a trade connection in order for citizen immigration to happen.

Semi-habitable worlds are sometimes referred to as frontier worlds.

Uninhabitable World

Worlds in the inferno or frigid orbit zones cannot support life in any way. Some uninhabitable environments can however support plant life.

Buildings on these harsh worlds will require life support and armor. Alternatively buildings without necessary life support can be built in a biodome.

For more information, see the Harsh_Environment_City page.
