It is possible to build underwater within them if desired.

			While it is possible to make both frigid and inferno worlds self-sufficient, inferno are much harder. This is because there is no [[ice]] to convert into [[water]] and [[air]], which makes growing [[food]] much harder. Hence, it's recommended to colonize another world first as a supplier if possible.

	The worlds in the inferno and frigid orbit zones will commonly have advanced [[resource]]s, but are usually only colonized when they have new or better [[quality]] resources. A full-fledged [[city]] is not required on these worlds. It is perfectly reasonable to construct a simple [[colony]] for harvesting operations instead of a city.

The surface of the gas giant's core has extremely difficult terrain, it is jagged and hilly without any flat areas. On top of that there is very poor visibility at the core as it is extremely dark, and movement is difficult due to needing to swim everywhere. Further, the liquid corrodes [[spacecraft]] and [[EV Suit]]s very quickly, including Vulcium EV suits, making it extremely dangerous to move around. It is recommended to bring a [[Pressure Tent]] and place it down immediately, as this will protect from the corrosion and make it easier to move. It is also recommended to construct an airport as soon as you arrive and land the spacecraft there to protect it from corrosion. Additionally, due to the extreme changes in terrain elevation, grading may not be possible for flattening, as it has a 100m change limit. [[Biodome]]s can instead be used to create flat areas for many buildings.

	At the core of the gas giant it is only possible to harvest from the hydro and geo [[resource]]s~~. The volume limits of a gas giant is usually low, so constructing a simple [[colony]] for harvesting operations is probably best~~.
