The Osseus species grows a single thick stalk from which emerges a wide, broadly circular, pitted endoskeleton. This structure is designed to dramatically increase the surface area of the organism, facilitating chemical capture and chemosynthesis on its catalytically active surface.
— In-Game Description
Osseus is a genus of alien organism found on planets and moons with thin atmospheres across the galaxy. They can be sampled with the Genetic Sampler and scanned with the Short Range Composition Scanner. They have a clonal colony range of 800m.
Description
Ossei are named after their bony skeleton. They are easy to confuse with round rocks and typically look like giant mushrooms from afar. Recognizable with Night Vision from 300m.[1]
Types
There are six known morpho-types of Osseus with differing base values:
| SPECIES | VALUE |
|---|---|
| Osseus Cornibus | 1,483,000 |
| Osseus Discus | 12,934,900 |
| Osseus Fractus | 4,027,800 |
| Osseus Pellebantus | 9,739,000 |
| Osseus Pumice | 3,156,300 |
| Osseus Spiralis | 2,404,700 |
Distance
Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 800 m
Conditions of occurrence
- Planets with thin atmosphere
- Only on Rocky, High Metal Content or Rocky Ice (for Osseus pumice) planets
- Only present on rocky areas on planets
- Maximum gravity: 0.27
