Sinuous Tuber

These organic structures are distinguished by their tubular shape and vivid colouration.

— In-Game Description

Sinuous Tubers are a species of Fungal Life that have been found on the surfaces of airless planets and moons across the galaxy. They were originally nicknamed "Tube Worms" by explorers due to their resemblance to tube worms found on Earth.

Types

There are eight known types of Sinuous Tuber:

Sinuous Tubers Albidum
Sinuous Tubers Blatteum
Sinuous Tubers Caeruleum
Sinuous Tubers Lindigoticum
Sinuous Tubers Prasinum
Sinuous Tubers Roseum
Sinuous Tubers Violaceum
Sinuous Tubers Viride

Distance

Minimum distance between two genetic samples: 100 m

Conditions of occurrence

Planets types: planets with no atmosphere, with volcanic activity
It seems that the Sinuous Tubers are more common near the Galactic Core.

Variants

The species of Sinuous Tuber depends on the type of volcanism and planet:
