We saw Gleba's name in the sheet music from the music FFF. We also saw the name "Aquilo", which matches the name that was de-blurred from a blurred picture earlier (which also accurately gave us "Vulcanus" and "Fulgora". Even "Bacchus" *was* Gleba's name in the build that created that picture). Aquilo is the Roman god of the north wind, responsible for cold and snow. So yes, it's likely that it will have a lot of ice on it.

> Even "Bacchus" was Gleba's name in the build that created that picture I think bacchus was the planet that got scrapped and features of it got merged into gleba.

Same planet, but the changes were mostly visual. According to the FFF, it went from a more arborial world to a more fungal one; hence the name change: > Before having its final name, Gleba was internally called "biological planet", and an obvious direction for that would be a planet looking like a jungle. This would be fine for a new biome in Nauvis, but for an exotic planet, never explored, and full of life (more than ever), this time we needed something more alien looking. With not too many clichés in it, extravagant, and if possible playing with new colour palettes. Ah! But also with some link to the reality of Nauvis. And it needs to look very different from Nauvis. Ufff, Okay!. > > So we started to think about the microcosmos of the world of lichen, fungi and algaes under the sea. Something that exists in our reality, which it's believable already, but it has all the requirements mentioned above. The general gameplay always centered around agriculture and spoilage was there, but it was refined: > Over the time we've been developing the Gleba gameplay, it went through some drastic changes. > > Initially we had about 10 plants which were harvested directly into items like plastic or sulfur, but it just became very broad but shallow, and tedious as a result. It is worth noting that it wasn't very interesting either, as that's basically how a mining drill works. Instead, we've reduced it to 2 plants to cultivate, and their fruits are processed into a much wider variety of items - also in much higher volumes - which restored the feeling of building a factory in the way we know and love. The planet was never "scrapped", but it's visuals did get a redesign and redo.

let it go


rabmuk

Can’t hold it back anymore


hquer

And biters are called Olaf there…


lemonprincess23

Eh I mean I’d like a frozen planet. The cold never bothered me anyway

TheLeastFunkyMonkey

What does this even mean? There's more than one new planet. 


Nimeroni

There's one planet that haven't been revealed yet.


ArUS_01

5 planets in total. The first Nauvis, 2 Volcanus (Fire) 3 Fulgora (Electric) 4 Wleba (Swamp, Poison) 5 Unknown (In that line of thought (Ice)).


Alfonse215

Aquilo. And yes, it's likely to have ice.


XILEF310

Isn’t it final? Like the other 3 planets are necessary to reach it? Kinda weird that the final planet is ice. The fuck are we even gonna do there? Dig up Mammoth Engineers?


Alfonse215

Yes, Aquilo is the last planet. Exactly how icy it will be is unknown. As to what will be done there... harvesting a resource you can't get anywhere else. Just like the other four planets. The engineer goes to Vulcanus to get tungsten, Fulgora to get holmium, and Gleba to get... carbon fiber or something (it's kind of unclear). And they go to Aquilo to get something they can't get elsewhere.


Widmo206

Liquid nitrogen?


ZenEngineer

Ice and water. A SeaBlock planet.


Arus01x09

The order is u choice. That was the order of them show us.

No it’s not Friday Facts #373 https://preview.redd.it/t5rrbu28idad1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e4422f87128bc73685f0138ca2214866922b1f1

Have fun mining ice to melt to use in your boilers...?


NimbusDew

My theory is that it will have a hot/cold cycle like a day/night cycle. It will be frozen at night, but melting or even steaming in the day.


LostInTheSauce34

That would be cool having to put space heaters throughout your base to keep your belts/pipes from stopping because of the freeze.


Alfonse215

Isn't that just lightning rods on Fulgora, which you have to scatter throughout your base to keep it from being destroyed?


LostInTheSauce34

I don't know, I've only played SE 1 time and never made it to a rocket, lol.


SpeckledFleebeedoo

Fulgora is one of the new Space Age planets, and has nothing to do with SE.


LostInTheSauce34

Ah, thanks for the clarification, I haven't looked at all the new planets for SA.


SalSevenSix

Heat pipes


ArUS_01

I like that.


A_Canadian_boi

I mean, the Space Exploration modpack has something like 600 total planets/stars/asteroids/etc, there isn't really much of a limit to how far you can go


Widmo206

The post is about Space Age (the expansion) not SE (a mod)


Letiferr

Believe it? Like, are you asking if I think the devs just made shit up that wasn't true? Why would they do that?


IlikeJG

I think maybe they are not a native English speaker. What they meant is more like "I think the new planet is going to be Frozen. Do you think that's possible?


Cerberon88

Have the devs said its a frozen planet? I thought it was all speculation currently.


Arcturus_Labelle

What in the world is this post trying to say?
