Moon Biomes
The Moon is a pretty rocky place wherever you go, but it still has a few different biomes to explore that you may be interested in.
Looking for somewhere specific? Only some biomes can spawn near each other, with the Lunar Sands and Lunar Plains serving as a sort of "neutral ground" between them all.

Lunar Plains
Lunar Plains don't really have anything interesting going on, but they're a nice neutral place to make a base.
Lunar Sands
Lunar Sands are an alternate version of Lunar Plains that have less vegetation but more sand.
Asurine Fields
Asurine Fields has frequent formations of Asurine. It cannot spawn near Chorus biomes.
Certus Fields
Certus Fields larger formations of Asurine that also contain large amounts of Certus Quartz.
Chorus Forest
The Chorus Forest is the only place to find Chorus Fruit. It cannot spawn near Asurine biomes.
Chorus Thicket
The Chorus Thicket is a dense area of Chorus Fruit. It is a dangerous biome with hostile endermen.
Lunar Maria
The Lunar Maria contains some dead coral and sand. It cannot spawn near Lightbloom biomes.
Lunar Reef
The Lunar Reef has many large formations of dead coral. Did the moon have oceans in the distant past?
Lightbloom Scrubland
Lightbloom Scrublands have some sparse growths of Lightblooms. It cannot spawn near Coral biomes.
Lightbloom Star Gazers
Many Lightblooms grow here. Tip: This biome looks beautiful at night time with shaders on!
Moon Dust Harvester
The Moon Dust Harvester is an optional multiblock that collects lunar regolith. This regolith can then be processed into infinite sources of certain ores!
The downside? There's four types of regolith and each can only be harvested in a certain biome, so if you want all of them, you'll have to set up some infrastructure.
Upgrading the coils will reduce the energy cost. Accumulators can be used to transport energy around.
item.tfg.certus_regolith_dust
Certus Regolith Dust can only be harvested in the Certus Fields biome.
It can be processed into Certus Quartz and Zinc.
item.tfg.cassiterite_regolith_dust
Cassiterite Regolith Dust requires the Lightbloom Star Gazers biome.
It is a source of Tin.
item.tfg.goethe_regolith_dust
Goethe Regolith Dust is harvested in the Chorus Thicket biome.
It can be processed into Copper and Iron.
item.tfg.bright_regolith_dust
Bright Regolith Dust is from the Lunar Reef biome.
It is a source of Diamond and Gold.
As part of their processing, all of these Regolith Dusts are turned into Dusty Ores. These can only be centrifuged for resources for now - further extraction will require some lategame ore processing on Venus.
Be sure to use a Large Chemical Reactor to get perfect overclocking on these recipes! If you want to set up more passive automation for AE2 components or Railgun Ammo, these regolith harvesters are essential!
