It should be noted that Verdante always has the Irregular Oil modifier, even if it is not rolled during worldgen — oil is found in unexpected places.

Important Resources[]
Oxygen[]
There are some challenge in the early game as Forest Biome contains little Water that can be electrolyzed into Oxygen. Player shall more aggressively dig out and find a Rust Biome. After that Rust and Salt can be turned into Oxygen.
Water[]
Verdante lacks Water in the early game. Player must find a Swamp Biome to filter the Polluted Water, or find a Tide Pool Biome to turn Salt Water into Water.
Polluted Water[]
Swamp Biome has Polluted Water.
Raw Minerals[]
Forest Biome has large quantities of Igneous Rock. Swamp Biome and Tide Pool Biome provides Sedimentary Rock.

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

Hatch is not available in Verdante. Player has to wait for Printing Pod to print them.
Industry[]
There is only one hatch on Verdante. Coal production is slowed until the Printing Pod could print some Hatches, or one increases numbers.
Heat Management[]
The Frozen Biome is not available in Verdante. As a result, there is neither Anti Entropy Thermo-Nullifier nor Wheezewort. This may bring some challenge in the mid game. If present, a Cool Slush Geyser may provide similar benefit, alternatively a Steam Turbine/Thermal Aquatuner combination provide late game cooling solutions.
