Help for rolling specific biosphere - 6/21/2020 3:44:19 PM

I'm trying to roll a planet with the following stats:

Atmos Human Hazard: Imperfect
Xenobiological Hazard: Any
Atmos Farming Hazard: Toxic
Alien Tissue Nutrition: Full
Vegetation Level: Shrubs or bush

The key thing I want here is for farming human crops to be a no-go, but xeno-farming is a good replacement. I've been trying to roll on various planet classes to get something close to this, but the few planets that have are toxic for human crops seem to never have life on them. Medusa planets seem to be the closest to what I want, but seem to always have toxic xeno crops and no problem for human crops.

On the topic of rolling planets, I also hope that we'll be able to have manual planet generation someday so I won't have to rely on the RNG for this.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I'm not sure that imperfect human atmosphere and toxic farming hazard is a possible combination. Earth plants evolved on the same planet as humans, they generally want the same atmosphere (but don't care about oxygen and are less sensitive to sulfer compounds). If the air is breathable for humans, then it's almost certainly suitable for Terran plants.

Edit: the game doesn't seem to model soil quality, so in real life you could probably get a breathable atmosphere but have the soil so contaminated with something that nothing would grow. But that's not in the game.

It is theoretically possible for only the ground to be poisionous - the air being free of he realy dangerous stuff. Gravity might help here most.

But chances are that if the bad stuff is that abundant in the Ground, Local Plants and Life managed to evolve to use - and are just about as Toxic to Earth Humans, as the ground is to Earth plants.

Damn. I rolled a planet with full value xeno crops and reduced Earth crop growth, so I guess I'll settle for that. Thank you.
