Worlds with barren biomes have a surface that is rocky and sometimes sandy. These are desert worlds. Cacti can be found here, of varying sizes. Occasionally, trees can be found here as well. From space, barren worlds look rocky, occasionally with some streaks of large canyons visible from space. The resources Pyrite, Cactus Flesh and Sulphurine can always be found here.

This biome has the 2nd most ideal weather, as day temperatures are liveable. However, nights can get quite cold, enabling hazard protection. However, extreme weather barren worlds require both cold and heat protection due to wild temperature swings. The heat can get sweltering during the day, plummeting to freezing temperatures at night. Heat storms in extreme weather barren worlds are POWERFUL, draining hazard protection in a similar rate to a storm in an extremely scorched biome.

Ironically it is possible, though less frequent to have water and oceans on barren biomes.

Biome Subtype - Infested
The Infested subtype can overlay the normal planetary biome types, creating twisted, infected flora not seen on other planets of the same variants.

They come in six different planetary pallets with each seemingly having its own main flora type for each planetary variant. Whispering Eggs dot the landscape and Biological Horrors appear with them when broken, similar to Dead worlds.

Infested planets also display chromatic aberration filters as well as glitch music, similar to Mega Exotic and Exotic worlds.
