Time issues (experience / climate)

[Suicide Junkie]

A single Climate Control Facility III will take
300+ turns to boost a Deadly world to Optimal.

They only add 3% to the conditions each YEAR, not each turn, and there is about 20% per level. So it will take about 60 turns to go up one description level, from unpleasant to mild, for example.

You can stack two or three facilities, though, and get much faster conditions improvement.

The way I understand SE4, good planet conditions only increase reproduction rate.

Something fun I like to do, is to take the organic trait.

You can then build one facility to improve reproduction in the entire system. This new population growth isn't affected by climate, I guess they're just clones. Much less work for you to set up, but you still get all the benefits.

Recently I'm playing the organic race, and the ruins gave me climate facilities. I could just imagine the conversation --

"Sir, the ancient facility seems to be a climate control facility, the ancient records indicate the improvements as 'aiding survivability' and 'monitoring population increase'"

"What, why did't they just grow replicants if they needed a workforce?"

"I don't know sir, I just don't know"
