I had one previous space-age run that stopped a bit into Gelba. If im honest I really didn't care for the spoilage mechanics. Finally getting to the point in current run that planet explorations on the horizon. Want to try something different. Please recommend me a good planet to try next without spoilers (or spoilage).

Vulcanus. It’s by far the easiest and gives you the best stuff for early game.

Spoiler

The foundries and big miners will multiply your production while slowing the resource depletion on your ore patches.

Fulgora is ok, the electromagnetic plant is superb for crafting circuits but I think this early in the game a base material production is more important.

Spoiler

Also the recycler is only important on fulgora (except when you reach super late game and want to aim for legendary stuff).

Gleba can be a nightmare when playing for the first time.

Spoiler

But the stack inserter and biolab are bombastic. Buuuuuut if you ask me they can wait. Also, you should have established a fully automatic interplanetary delivery by that point. Because glebas science can be frustrating at times, when things aren’t done quickly.

Edited: hope I didn’t spoil too much
