Summary[ | ]

Meredes Major Surface

A Mega Exotic planet. Notice the yellow hue and the giant versions of underwater flora.

Worlds with mega exotic biomes are characterized by having mega-sized versions of objects found in other biomes, like giant circular rock formations, algae, smokestack plants, and trees. It has an atmosphere that refracts light into a certain colour, which can vary from a strong orange hue to a dismal black-and-white dystopia.

Though classified similarly to exotic planets, it seems to be on a class of its own. It has clear, normal and extreme weather with characteristics similar to lush planets. Flora and fauna here can be discovered. Waypoints are present if the system is inhabited. In the game file (found here), this biome is called Red biome in red systems, Green biome in green systems and Blue biome in blue systems.

From space, they look like any other planet. Look for them in red, green, blue, and sometimes yellow star systems if you are in an Empty or Lush galaxy.

Some planets of this biome don't have mega sized flora or minerals, but are similar to the Lush Biome, with a thick layer of grass and many normal sized trees covering the surface.
