Default Colonisation / Race question

What happens after two years if you are a "none-breather", colonising a gas giant and put an atmosphere modification planet on it? I don't think there are any GAS giants out there with no atmosphere...

The game won't allow gas/none planets. Not sure how it gets around the situation you describe though. I do know it won't result in a gas/non planet.

Under those circumstances, the atmosphere conVersion plant does nothing; it just sits there occupying space. Building it is a complete waste of resources.

Just one of the various tradeoffs you make when selecting no-atmosphere.

does the computer AI ever run into the problem of using them on gas giants when they breath "none" for that matter does the computer ever use the converters?

We may find out about the no-atmosphere converters on gas giants. I did not have the Rage use converters for this reason, but I have wired the Vandron to use them. Once we test the Vandron to the point that they have converter tech, we'll see what they do with them. (We may not want to know )
