Enviromental Resistance

I don't think it affectes optimal planets as there is nothing to resist. I may be wrong, I have not tested this.

Jubala: Reproduction is a 1/1 basis, unlike Env. Resistance. So, dropping E.R. to 81% and raising Repro. to 109% evens out cost wise, and you end up with +6% reproduction in the bargain (-3% from E.R., +9% for Repro.). Yet another reason why using breakpoints is just begging for abuse by point-optimizers -- none of whom, I'm sure, play this game.

Thanks Droplede!

No problem.

Martin: Hmmm. Haven't paid attention to whether it works on optimal planets, too. If I get a chance after work tonight, I'll set up a range of planets in the map editor and check it out. Thanks for the idea.

Manual says that enviromental resistance effects also on hapiness. Does anyone know how?

Like Zarix asks, does anyone know how it affects happines?

A bad planetary environment is supposed to affect happiness levels negatively. I would guess that environmental resistance reduces this negative effect. I don't know how to test this, though. Look at the effects of the UPC. It would be very small, on the order of 1 percent or something.
