World Resources: Read this in conjunction with 2.3a World dilemmas
The information below may help you to formulate a plan of action for the situation you’re trying to solve.
Fire Worlds
Fire worlds are known for innovation and quick action. This decisiveness can sometimes be interpreted as aggression. They may not necessarily have the raw materials everyone needs, but they can turn other worlds’ resources into something far more valuable.
For example, they
- can create advanced alloys for circuitry, construction and machinery
- developed power cells that can store enormous amounts of energy
- offer engineering expertise
- have advanced geothermal technology
- can regulate extreme temperatures
- create huge reserves of carbon.
Water Worlds
Water Worlds are known for their caring and nurturing nature, but their democratic approach to problem solving can be time consuming. Their communities are renowned for finding creative ways to utilise and protect their environment, offering surprising solutions that could greatly benefit other worlds.
For example, they
- can create highly advanced desalination and water purification plants
- harness the ocean’s energy to power communities
- farm oceans to produce food and make renewable biofuels
- have an extensive network of collective care – from rescue/humanitarian aid to community organisers
- are adept at predicting weather and environmental changes
- Store massive salt reserves.
Earth Worlds
Earth Worlds are patient and measured, driven by collective responsibility and sustainability. This approach may seem morally superior to some, but they freely offer their knowledge and resources to those willing to work together for the greater good.
For example, they
- are expert at terraforming inhospitable areas
- have advanced mining and construction equipment
- can build large, complex infrastructure projects with minimal waste
- create agricultural ecosystems to maximise food production
- understand and manipulate planetary geological systems
- store many rich rare-mineral supplies.
Air Worlds
Air Worlds are highly sociable and endlessly curious. This openness makes them easy to work with, though this has often been exploited by others. While more cautious when building new relationships, but they still cherish the free exchange of information, ideas and gossip.
For example, they
- have mastered weather control technology to sustain their communities
- utilise high-altitude solar farming to generate energy above the clouds and atmospheric turbulence
- can use their extensive knowledge to find unexpected solutions
- created an aerial network to supply food and resources across the world
- can provide rapid-response aid to remote areas
- are expert hosts, often throwing huge events where information can be shared.
