Sabotage your opponents' economy or attack them with your Mech Units, conduct trade and beware of Space Pirates eager to board your Station. With a wide number of buildings and areas to develop, aliens to satisfy. Prevail against your competitors, for you are not alone on the Space Station. To do this wait until the bio deck is nearly covered in plants and then shut down planting via the terraforming menu. Spacebase Startopia is a decently comical management simulation that looks back at and expands on the original Startopia.

Simply stop the dryads from planting every available bit of land. One possible way to prevent this bug may be to prevent all of the Bio deck being planted. This can be forced using the H.E.D 'plague in a jar', but this is not a practical solution either. The only other thing that drives aliens of the Bio deck is needing medical attention. While this 'fix' may work on individual aliens or even a group, it doesn't solve the underlying problem. This will often allow them to move on to fulfilling other needs, hopefully before they reach 100% anger. The only way to stop this is currently to use a H.E.D 'Fragrant grove ' on them while they are on their preferred bio deck soil. This causes their other needs to drop to critical levels and their anger to rise, ultimately causing them to leave the station. Only a few Bio deck environments are unlocked at the start of a game, others must be unlocked as part of a building category along with their connected visitor race.įrom the terrain part of the terraforming menu, the ground can also be raised or lowered, as well as adding water.Īn unfortunate bug appears to affect the Bio Deck in Spacebase Startopia - Standard Edition (version 1.42), aliens, both visitors and staff get stuck on the Bio deck trying to fulfil their 'need for familiar flora' (nature). There is also a single plant that grows in water. Contraband crates also appear on the Bio deck, but don't seem to be linked to any land type. Oxygen crates are not harvested from any plant but appear based one how many plants are on the Bio Deck. Rainforest - Bugrathorians - Medical supplies.Several of the land types available must be unlocked from the research menu.īelow are the land types that can be applied to the Bio deck, what species prefers them and what resources their plants can be harvested for. Each Different landscape has two different plants that can grow from it, usually one tree and one smaller plant, with the exception of the lunar landscape which has two small plants. The Bio Deck can be terraformed into nine different landscapes, one for each visitor alien and another that does not produce resources but its plants produce a lot of oxygen.
