31-Arcadia

A mid-game moon with a desert/jungle theme and two glass biodomes.

POPULATION: Abandoned, security systems remain active!

FAUNA: Varied introduced species, some showing signs of rapid evolution.

CONDITIONS: Local sun is becoming a red giant. Constant scorching heatwaves! Extreme UV radiation!

HISTORY: The facility is located in a meteorite crater and surrounded by a vast desert. Originally constructed to experiment with artificial ecosystems and genetic diversity in extreme environments. It was left to crumble after a solar flare breached one of the domes, causing catastrophic failures. Pockets of life continue to flourish.

Weather Effects

• Heat Haze Zones: In these areas, you can get heatstroke, which decreases your stamina and slows down its regeneration. This is indicated by a visual effect.

• Duststorm: The terrain becomes more dangerous after midday.

Terrain Hazards

• Quicksand: Be cautious in the desert areas! ;)

Click to reveal additional information

• 2 fire exits
• B+ difficulty
• Scrap distribution: 12-24
• Facility size: 1.35
• Route price: $125
• Possible weather: Eclipse, Dust Clouds
• 45 seconds (1.3 minutes if sitting in a car) until heatstroke effect reaches its maximum (125% increased stamina consumption)
