It is a hotter variant of Verdante — in particular, the Starting Biome is a little hotter than 30°C from the very start, compared to other asteroids (where it is approximately 22°C), making food production a challenge early on.

### Raw Minerals

Forest Biome has large quantities of Igneous Rock. Swamp Biome and Tide Pool Biome provides Sedimentary Rock.

### Metal Ore

Forest Biome has large quantities of Aluminum Ore. Caustic Biome provides Iron Ore. Swamp Biome provides Gold Amalgam.

Hatch is not available in Aridio. Player has to wait for Printing Pod to print Hatch.

## Industry

There is only one hatch on Aridio. Coal production is slowed until the Printing Pod could print some Hatches, or one increases numbers.

Tungsten is not available on Aridio due to lack of Wolframite, unless the map has glaciers or a frozen core.

## Heat Management

Heat management is a challenge in Aridio. The Frozen Biome is not available in Aridio. As a result, there is neither Anti Entropy Thermo-Nullifier nor Wheezewort. The Biomes are also hotter.
