Reversing Anti-planet spy mission?

[Sockum]

In my current game, one of the computer-controlled TDM races sabotaged one of my planets with a successful spy/intelligence mission. I don't remember the exact description, but the message said something about a bomb was successfully exploded in atmosphere which lowered my planet's condition.

The planet condition went from Optimal to Deadly in a single turn. I promptly built a Climate Control facility to try and upgrade the planet condition, but after approximately 20 turns the condition is still Deadly.

Is there a way to reverse the effects of a spy mission like this? Or do I just need to live with it?

For what its worth, as far as I can tell the Deadly condition is having no effect on my planet -- the population isn't going down, the happiness rating is Jubilant, and the planet is happily producing just like it was before the conditions were altered.

Thanks in advance,

Sockum

Others may have more info, but from what I understand, planetary conditions are a bit of a wasted effort as far as the game goes. Seems to have very little effect.

As to the facs to help it out...if you read closer, you'll find that it takes a year to make an adjustment. And a small adjustment at that! I never use them.

Planetary conditions are actually quite important. Better conditions give higher rates of growth, which gives more population. More population means more resources and higher production rates.

With Planet Engineering Tech then Planet Utilization techs 1-3, you will get the Climate Control Facility, this will reverse the effects and improve the planet conditions to 100% (Optimal) over time

I built a Climate Control Facility III (CCF) on the affected planet. I read the CCF description as increasing the planet condition by 3% each turn.

If as Slynky says the CCF only increases the planet condition by 3% per YEAR, then maybe I'll see a change as I continue to play. Although I believe I've had a CCF for at least 2 years, and the planet condition is still Deadly.

In any case, thanks for the replies -- its always nice to know you're not playing in a vacuum!

Yes, so after 2 years, a CI-3 plant will get you only 6%.

Assuming your planet got knocked down to 0%, and IIRC, the planet modifiers are every 20% or so, it'll take 3 more years to get to harsh conditions.

However, CI facilities, (and value improvement plants, too) will fully stack.
If you build two or three on the planet, you'll get the improvements 2 or 3 times faster.
