Lava planet
From SporeWiki, the knowledge base dedicated to Spore
In the Galaxy, you will come across planets known as Lava Planets. They are the opposite of Ice Planets. They have no water on the surface, instead it is molten lava. The temperature is usually high and the atmosphere dense, sometimes low. Flying in too close causes your ship to overheat, causing significant damage. On computers with low graphic cards, lava is displayed as static liquid.
[edit] Threats
There are two threats on Lava Planets. Note that flying too close to lava seas also does damage.
| Threats | Minor Damage | Medium Damage | Major Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Storms | X | O | O |
| Fire Jets | X | O | X |
[edit] Fire Storms
They are storms that are formed by Fire Jets, they float in the atmosphere and can damage your spaceship.
[edit] Fire Jets
Jets of Flame and heated gas, Fire Jets shoot up from the surface and can damage your ship if you fly too low. Fire Storms spawn from these. They are unpredictable and shoot up from random locations on the surface.
On Lava Planets, the water is replaced by lava, and the land is a dark red-purple. As the T-score increases, the land becomes fertile, and the lava lowers and eventually hardens, with water appearing in its place.
