What types of mineables are we going to explore when we have the new systems in? Are they just going to be the same things from Stanton repainted in a different color for Pyro, or are they new? Is it new flora? New mineables? How different are we going here?

TL;DRThe plan is that certain mineables are found only on certain planets to give reason to visit Pyro, some new harvestables already exist, and there will be a mix of unique and shared items.

I guess the plan is that you only find certain mineables on certain planets, right? So that there's an incentive for a player to visit the Pyro system instead of going to Stanton again, right? Because you need a very specific resource. We're not in the loop, I think, on the whole economic aspect of it. If they need us to make different assets, like new harvestables, new mineables, we're happy to do that, right? But I don't think the plan is that you can find everything everywhere all the time.

I think we already did some new harvestables for Pyro in the past. It's been a while now since we started work on Pyro. So I think they exist, but it's been over a year since we worked on those, maybe more.

That's not a spoiler, right? OK, we made some new stuff. We made new content for a new system.

It is worth noting, though, that while there certainly should be things that are unique to Pyro, these systems have been explored and traversed for decades in our fictional timeline, sometimes hundreds of years. So there's going to be cross-pollination. There are going to be people who bring melons from one system and plant them in another system, with these colonial outposts and stuff like that. So I think folks can expect a mixture of things that are unique to the Pyro system and things that are shared with Stanton. I mean, even the stuff in Stanton, if you look at the lore of some of the harvestables that you see in Stanton, the fiction behind them originated in other systems and they were brought to Stanton in the lore. So there's going to be some cross-pollination, and that includes the fauna as well, because settlers bring cows with them, horses with them and stuff like that.
