Surviving the Abyss Dark Glows Biome Guide - cover

This Surviving the Abyss Dark Glows Biome will detail the Aquatic Life and resources that you can find in this mysterious underwater paradise.

What is the Dark Glows Biome in Surviving the Abyss?

The Surviving the Abyss Dark Glows Biome represents your first real chance to get your hands on Oil, a serious upgrade for generating Power when compared to Coal. If you've planned your expansions out carefully, you'll be able to make a relatively short trip to acquire this new resource from your first Outpost at either the Coral Reef or Kelp Forest.

Should you manage to find some Oil, you'll be able to build a slightly more substantial Outpost here compared to either the Coral Reef or Kelp Forest. This Biome is also home to some of the rarer resources that you'll need for more advanced technology such as Copper and Aluminum. This further incentivizes building a somewhat more robust base here compared to other Biomes.

Of course, your main mission is Cloning and the Dark Glows Biome is somewhat of a mixed bag. You'll have easier access to genetic material for both Scientists and Engineers, but these genetic strains all carry a relatively high Mutation Chance. You should consider making Clones from the Aquatic Life here as a last resort -- there are much better options for cooking up Scientists and Engineers in the Basalt Columns Biome and Volcanic Biome.
