Making oxygen
 

Can I research something to make the domed planets have oxygen atmosphere as my people breathes?
The Climate control Facility 1 only improves the condition, right? (Mild-optimal etc).

Keep researching the same tech area. Levels 1-3 are climate control, Levels 4-6 are value improvment (resource value), and Levels 7-9 are atmospheric conVersion facilities (3 years for the first one, down to 2 years for the Last). You can scrap the facility once its job is done (IIRC, you get a log message).

Keep on truckin'!

Yes!!! I finally win!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Yeah its an Atmospheric Modification Plant, it changes your atmosphere 2 or 3 years (depending on what level facility u've got) after you've built the facility. I think you've got to research planetary engineering level 1, then planetary utilization up to level 7, or for the better Version, level 9

If I build an climate control 1 facility (Tech 1) can I upgrade it up to tech 7 or must I scrap it after tech 3 and build another kind of facility ?

Re: Making oxygen
 

Yeah you can keep it i think.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, you can only upgrade Climate Control Facility, Value Improvement Plant, and Atmospheric Modification Facility from I, II, III.

They are separate facilities doing different things so you build and upgarde separately.

That's important, cause conditions and value might not be at maximum when you got Atmosphere modifiers -- you wouldn't want them to disapper before they were done.

It seems like a waste of facility space to put a climate facility on 5 facilities planets (domed) to improve conditions, but maybe It's worth it?
For future use when changing atmosphere later.
