Callisto

Callisto

Callisto is the second-largest moon of Jupiter and the third-largest moon in the Solar System. It is the most heavily cratered object in the Solar System and has an ancient surface. Callisto orbits outside Jupiter's main radiation belts, making it a safer location for habitation. The game features 16 habitation sites.

Mining Sites

Notes:

• Negative values are not a bug, the game actually sets the median to a negative value to make it incredibly unlikely for the site to have a positive mine output. But note that the actual mined amount cannot actually be negative.
• Blank values indicate that the site can never produce this resource. In contrast, 0 indicates that there is still up to 50% chance for the site to produce the resource.
• Values shown do not take into account the final capping of the Noble Metals output to just 1/2 or 1/3 of the Base Metals output.
• Top 50% Mean is the average value of the top 50% of possible rolls. It is also a much looser estimate than the median because it cannot handle edge cases such as where the mininum value is too close to the median value.

Strategic Value

Callisto's position outside Jupiter's main radiation belts makes it more hospitable than other Jovian moons. Its numerous habitation sites offer significant potential for expansion in the outer Solar System.

Human expansion to the Jovian system often prompts a violent Alien response.
