The Badlands Asteroid is an Asteroid Type in the game of Oxygen Not Included. It is a dry Asteroid with little natural Liquids and less useful materials due to Barren Biomes taking up so much space. Due to a lack of Swamp Biomes, Gold Amalgam is only available from meteors, and hot liquid handling and oil processing will require Steel early on.

Example Badlands world. Notice the Barren Biomes.
The Badlands Asteroid is composed of following Biomes:
- Temperate Biome
base version(loaded but not used)- Start variant

Important Resources[]
Oxygen[]
Electrolyze the Water in Temperate Biome. Rust and Salt in Rust Biome can be turned into Oxygen.
Water[]
Temperate Biome has some Water supply. More water can be fetched from Cool Steam Vent.
Polluted Water[]
The Badlands lacks Polluted Water. Player has to melt the Polluted Ice in Frozen Biome, or find a Cool Slush Geyser.
Raw Minerals[]
Barren Biome has large quantities of Granite.
The Badlands lacks Sedimentary Rock. Player has to break Fossil into Sedimentary Rock. This has some impact on Stone Hatch breeding.
Metal Ores[]
Temperate Biome has Copper Ore and Caustic Biome has Iron Ore.
The Badlands lacks Gold Amalgam in the map, and it must be sourced from meteors at the surface. As a result, it cannot produce Oxylite as easily as other asteroid types.
Reed Fiber[]
The Badlands lacks Thimble Reed, requiring Drecko shearing to get Reed Fiber.
Crude Oil[]
Oil Biome has large quantities of Crude Oil.
Agriculture[]
Following Plants could be domestically planted:
Following Plants could be domestically planted after irrigation source is available:
Following Plants are not available in The Badlands.
Ranching[]
Following Critters are available in The Badlands and can be tamed:
Pips, Pokeshells, and Pacus are not available in The Badlands. Player has to wait for Printing Pod to print them, or source them from Space Destinations.
There is no Sedimentary Rock available in early game which is required for Stone Hatch breeding. Player has to break Fossil into Sedimentary Rock instead.
Industry[]
Gold Amalgam are only available via meteors in The Badlands. As a result there is some difficulty in production of Oxylite and Super Coolant.
Heat Management[]
The heat could be easily managed in The Badlands as both Frozen Biome and Rust Biome are available.
