Hi guys:

I said this earlier in this thread:

The consensus appears to be that climate does not affect happiness.

If that is so... then why when I improve the climate of a planet, the people are much happier?

I think climate has at least 2 effects:
1) Population growth
2) Happiness, which in turn affects production (but not construction).

What do you guys think?

So I bowed to the massed opinion that climate has no effect on happiness, but wondered where I got this impression.

I found this in the game...the path being Help/Manual/Planets...

Conditions These are the environmental conditions on the planet. Possible values for conditions range from Pleasant to Deadly. Conditions represent how difficult the environment on the planet would be to live in. The worse the conditions the more unhappy your people will become and the slower their reproduction will be.

So is this an error or misprint?
