The Plane of Earth is the one of the elemental Planes. It contains Mote Fields for Motes of Earth , Motes of Life and Motes of Fire .
The ground is bare and rocky and isntead of being pits, Chasms are large mountains of basalt columns. The Earth Plane's geography is characterised by small, regularly-spaced chasms leaving straight lines of walkable land.
It is not possible to build Air structures on the Plane of Earth.
The Earth Plane contains Planar Portals to the Plane of Life and Plane of Fire .
The Plane of Earth could be your first plane after the Plane of Life , which will present some challenges. If you didn't bring a large supply of Streamways with you, you will be dependent on Saltways and the large Chests for your logistics. Chests require heavy use of Grippers, which will need power connections along their length. This is a good opportunity to get to grips with Fire Wires , as Fire Power is quickly available. If this is your first experience of Entropy , you will quickly want to invest in Incineration Spires , as without access to Motes of Water it will be difficult to use Downpour Bastions that you may have already researched.
In the late game, there are few downsides to building on the Earth Plane, as all important late-game structures are buildable here. The primary losses are the logistical flexibility of Torrential Streamways and Wind Power , and the speed increase from Cloudcap rituals, neither of which are serious blockers to construction, as long as you are not dependent on Void Chest: Squall for material supplies.
