Many thanks for the clarification Imperator.
I can adapt my plans to the 20 turn wait for atmospheric conVersion easily enough so it's not really a problem that multiple AMP's no longer speed up the process.
The Climate Control Facilities still seem to be something of a waste of resources though (they're not cheap after all
). I've got a little experiment running where I'm sequentially building CCF's on a world that has a condition of Unpleasant. I've got seven completed so far and the project has been running for over a year but there's still no sign of improvement. Given that all planetary condition does is affect reproduction rate it seems somewhat of an overly lengthy and expensive process to get it to improve (given that you can convert the entire atmosphere in only two years).
Maybe I'll just have to succomb and edit the data files to make the CCF work faster
