It's colder than a gorram beer freezer in here, only without the beer! --An ice driller
The ice planet Vasilis is the next stop in your expansion. Far from the sun and without much to bring it heat, it's cold and forbidding, but is not without its advantages. Ice is abundant, Methane is plentiful, and the landscape, though barren, is almost serene. Once you're ready to make Cryolabs, the never-above-freezing temperatures produce a good boost to your research.
Analysis[]
Vasilis is the first planet available to the player for colonization after building up Promision. Unlike Promision there are a couple of resources lacking, most notably Graphite which limits Steel production until an Auto-Route is set. However, some resources such as Titanium and Methane are more readily available. Additionally there's Ice available for drilling which comes with the Cryogenics research. While this planet's additional resources are valuable for the extreme early game it becomes unremarkable once more resource rich planets are colonized and or conquered. After Cryolabs and Coolant Factories are unlocked and efficient enough to justify their costs this planet is the perfect place to set them up.
