Default Re: Athmospheric modification/Gas Giant/No athmosphere

I like the no atmoshere for mechanoid races and the Borg e.g. have this.
If you play with Mod Pack 1.01 the AI will build atmosphere converters, but it cannot differentiate between planets that have already a breathable atmosphere and the planets that actually need this facility. According to Mephisto this cannot be improved at the moment by us. Only MM could do this (see topic about Mod Pack on this forum way below).

You can't change the atmosphere of a gas giant to "none" via an atmosphere converter because there are no planets of that type in SectType.txt, and you can't add any like that via editing the file, either. The program is program is apparently hard-coded not to accept a planet type like that. Here is a quote from the notes in SectType.txt:

"NOTE: The following combinations of plant physical type and atmosphere are not allowed: Gas Giant x None."

The typo of "plant" instead of "planet" is in the file, too
