Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

I ran tests on this stuff many months ago. Conditions can NEVER fall below 0.00. Conditions modifying events, facilities, etc., all add. There is never any multiplication (even in finite resources games). As stated before, conditions are stored in a variable that can only ever range from 0.00 to 1.50. You can never get a number lower or higher than this range. Any event that would drop or raise it out of this range instead drops it to 0 or raises it to 1.50, depending on the nature of the event (same for facilities). Planets with deadly conditions can most certainly be raised, it can just take a while.

About events... it would make sense that the value be divided by 100, so that an event with 20 becomes 0.20. This would effectively subtract 20 from the conditions value. However, it seems that the value instead might be getting divided by 10, which would make it drop the conditions value by 2.0, dropping it to 0.00 no matter what the starting conditions were. If this is the case, it seems like a bug to me.

Hmm, I would still believe there is a multiplication, at least for the conditions, the only problem being 0.0 (In such cases, 0.1 *may* be used to calculate the evolution) For instance, the rate to go from 0.0 to 0.3 (The lowest Deadly to the lowest Harsh) is about 40 years (39 years exactly), while you only need 3 years to go from 1.4 to 1.5 So, if it was an addition, there would not be such differences. (An improvement by 0.1 would take the same amount of years, no matter what are the starting conditions)

It is only one example of these situations, as a general rule, the worse the conditions are, the harder it is to improve the conditions. (That does make sense of course) Thanks for the notice about the impossibility to get lower than 0.0, it means you could have improved your planet Oleg, with a lot of patience.
