Will these domed planets ever grow larger?

Nice, you can actually trade populations in this game. Like the famous Johnny Carson line, "Ach! I did not know that!"

And I was thinking that you had to conquer to get populations of different races. I guess the only worry would be the issue of the new population having different politics of what keeps them happy.

The only statistics that the captured populations retain are;
- The picture
- The atmosphere breathed.

The happiness modifiers of the aliens become the same as your own, except that they have a natural anger increase instead of a decrease

You'll have to do a bit of work to keep 'em happy.
I reccomend a few 100kt of troops

Thanks! Couple of more easy ones. Will the atmosphere converter also convert the climate? As in, can I wait until the atmosphere converter and get the same end effect as if I used the climate converter first. And if that's the case, is there a benefit to converting the climate first?

Thanks again

Climate and atmosphere are seperate. Climate is like the weather patterns and such that sweep over the planet, making it more or less hostile to your species. Atmosphere determines if the air is even breathable by your people.

If your climate is poor, your reproduction rate on the planet is poor (as well as some other factors I think). If the atmosphere doesn't match, you can only build domed colonies. Hostile Climates of the wrong atmosphere are usually the worst planets you can find (especially if they are tiny), but it's a rare planet indeed that has no redeeming qualities.

Once the atmosphere has been converted, you can scrap that facility and build a climate control facility, which will further boost the value of the planet, though it will take even longer to do than the atmospheric converter depending on how bad the climate is.

All planets have a redeeming quality: 1+ facility slot. Use it for a Storage, Intel or Research facility.

Ditto! That's what I use those tiny planets for also. Mostly storage, unless the planet has a tremendous amount of minerals, organics or rads. Then I might put a mining facility there instead.

I usually build monoliths on them if they have decent resource values, actually.
