pc_volcanicVolcanic World: questions
Can you colonize a Volcanic World in Stellaris?
Yes. Habitability depends on the species' trait: Volcanic Preference 75%, Volcanic Preference 60%, Mutagenic Habitability 50% and Cold Planet Preference 25%.
How do you terraform a Volcanic World?
It can become Tropical World, Continental World, Ocean World, Arctic World, Tundra World and 8 more. It can be made from Tundra World, Arctic World, Continental World, Tropical World, Ocean World and 11 more. The terraforming list on this page gives the time, cost and what each change needs.
