Concha

Concha are a genome of alien flora 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 150m.

A concha species that thrives in atmospheres rich with carbon dioxide. The lip-like upper opening cracks apart to allow a vertical growth of spiky leaves and bright seeds to stretch upward.

— In-Game Description

Description

Concha are named after mollusk shells, which they resemble. They are very small and appear on hills and rocky terrain.^[1]

Types

There are four known types of Concha with differing base values:

SPECIES	VALUE
Concha Aureolas	7,774,700
Concha Biconcavis	19,010,800
Concha Labiata	2,352,400
Concha Renibus	4,572,400

Distance

Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 150 m

Conditions of occurrence

Planets with thin Ammonia, Nitrogen, Water or Carbon Dioxide atmosphere
Maximum gravity: 0.27

ATMOSPHERE TYPE	SPECIES
Ammonia	Concha aureolas
Carbon dioxide Carbon dioxide rich	Concha labiata (< 190 K) Concha renibus (180 K - 195 K)

Concha aureolas

Description

These concha are found on worlds with nitrogen-based atmospheres. Their rounded rock-like structure splits part to extend long stalks topped with loops.

Conditions of occurrence

Planet with thin Ammonia atmosphere
Maximum gravity: 0.27

Concha biconcavis

Description

This concha species resembles a ridged, bisected egg until they crack in half, allowing a thin stalk to sprout from its fleshy insides. This is covered with cloughnut—shaped pods that create locations for chemical exchange.

Conditions of occurrence

Planet with thin Nitrogen atmosphere
Maximum gravity: 0.27

Colored variants

Colored variant determined by rare material found on planet:

MATERIAL	COLOR
Antinomy	Peach
Polonium	Red
Ruthenium	Orange

Concha labiata

Description

A concha species that thrives in atmospheres rich with carbon dioxide. The lip-like upper opening cracks apart to allow a vertical growth of spiky leaves and bright seeds to stretch upward.

Conditions of occurrence

Planet with thin Carbon Dioxide atmosphere
Maximum gravity: 0.27
Mean temperature inferior to 190 K

Concha renibus

Description

A species of concha that relies on heat sources to survive. As the bisected growth increases in size. it sprouts a single stalk topped with an array of luminous fronds that facilitate metabolism.

Conditions of occurrence

Planet with thin Carbon Dioxide or Water atmosphere
Maximum gravity: 0.27
For Carbon dioxide, mean temperature between 180 K and 195 K
