What is the easiest or hardest planet?

So, I just finished getting 350 people on the storm planet.

Aside from the initial difficulty of having a difficult set up because of the four person start which is quickly beaten by an initial Starpad. I was shocked to find that the Storm Planet was hands down the easiest planet of the four. The lightning rod being profoundly beneficial as the bigger your base gets, the more electricity you get from the storms. Unlike the other three planets the storm planet has three different types of energy generation and no mandated alarms necessary outside of intruders. I once walked away from the game for 1 hour 30 minutes as I went to exercise and shower with 150 people in base. My base was 100% fine because I had enough storage and food.

Desert Planet requires yellow alerts for sand storms and lasers/observations to potentially stop meteors.

Ice Planet requires yellow alert for ice storms, and has reduced solar energy generation.

Moon requires yellow alerts for solar flares, and has no windmill energy generation.

What planet do you all think is the hardest or easiest and why?

My FAVORITE is probably the moon planet. The meteors make a nice fun random splat that could just take you out before you get going. Also, very large buildable surface which is fun especially if you want to redesign your base for whatever reason. I'd also say Moon planet is probably the hardest, as solar flare is just devastating.

None of the maps are particularly hard, I wish there were more mods to spice things up.

I do a farming start on that planet. Don't put out the mine until you have a working medbay. To do that, grow excess veggies and sell them to traders for your ore and metal until you can get the basics up and running. It may seem like the traders never have what you need, but I always seem to make it work. Get a workshop going so you can convert the ore because ore is cheaper to buy than metal.
