0 World has 0% of its surface covered by liquid. It has no readily accessible, free-standing water.
  • Water is in precious, short supply on this world and must often be imported, such as from ice-bearing planetoids if available.
  • Water recycling is an important part of any settlement on this world.
  • It is a Desert World or a Hell World.
  • It is a super arid (anhydrous) environment.
