This is a comprehensive guide to the biomes of NMS. We travel around the galaxy to visit one of each of the 11 types. For each biome I look at:

1) how to find planets of that type
2) what resources you'll find there
3) what you'll need to survive there
3) advantages and disadvantages

Whether you're looking to find the perfect paradise planet or the best place to harvest sulphurine, this is the guide for you :)
