|Description=//Natural Life on the planet.//
}}

A planet with Natural Life has native animal and / or plant life. The creatures and plants can be cultivated and used as resources and form a stable ecosystem helping to stabilise the planet by means of the Gaia balance. Planets require natural life to get a [[atmospheres|Type I or II atmosphere]] and planets with natural life may construct new zones and upgrade them with [[rules:Improved Production]] or [[rules:Improved Augmentation]] for half the regular price. 

When building a new system, a planet with Natural Life during system building gets the [[rules:Improved Production]] upgrade on any zones located on that planet for free.

A planet can only gain Natural Life if it is [[Habitable]].
===== Cost =====

The cost of Natural Life depends on the size of the world:

^ World Type ^ Biomass cost for natural life ^
| Small moon | 1 (:bio-mass) |
| Medium moon | 3 (:bio-mass)  |
| Large moon, small planet | 7 (:bio-mass)  |
| Medium planet | 19 (:bio-mass)  |
| Large planet | 37 (:bio-mass)  |

Note: The actual price is calculated per zone; the small moon entry displays the actual price per zone. This is relevant if you have other things that give you extra zones, such as the [[Underworld]] special.
