Population
 

I found a facility ability whith a fuction not known by me.
The name of the ability is "Change Population - System". What does it do? And how does it work?

Oh, and how can I enlarge the max population I can have on a planet with a facility ability, is the forementioned the right one?

Re: Population
 

the ability you found is usually used as a "clone" effect. for example if you give the ability a value of 10, then EACH !! planet in the system will get another 10 million more people, this is NOT percent-based. If can even be used to lower the population by a certain amount.

About your other question: There is no way to increase / decrease the maximum population EXCEPT the home atmosphere changing thingy.

Re: Population
 

Depending on the value you give it, it can increase or decrease the population in a system each turn.

Re: Population
 

Ah yes, the ability from the Cloning Plant.
There is no way to "enlarge" a planet to accomodate more population?

Not in-game or by facilities, but the racial trait of Advanced Storage Techniques *does* give additional population room by 20% IIRC. But that's in the game setup so it may not count....

..of course all you posters knew that anyways... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Population
 

So can you make a "Xenon Death Ray Broadcaster Facility" that will kill alien populations in the same system, as well as your own?

The Organic facility that uses this ability will only work on the owners worlds and population. You can give it to another player and have it effect him (and not you).
