Climate Control Facility ?

Questor · #1 March 7th, 2001, 03:31 PM

Does anyone know how many turns it takes to increase the planets condition 1 level using a Climate Control Facility III?

Also I'm trying to figure out the correct order for the planet conditions. Here is what I have come up with...

Pleasant
Good
Optimal
Mild
Unpleasant
Harsh
Deadly

Can someone tell me if this is correct.

Thanks,
Questor

I would think that Optimal would be the best condition.

That's what I would have thought but the manual says Pleasant - Deadly.

The manual, I'd forgotten about that thing

So there is some information in it, eh.

I wouldn't treat the manual as gospel on the subject. Optimal is definitely better than Good, and I've never seen Pleasant, although I usually don't bother with climate control facilities

I would question whether the Climate Improvement Plants even f*cking well work at all. I built a Grade III one on an Unpleasant planet, and 43 turns later, it was still unpleasant. Yes, 43.

Stuff like that really annoys the hell out of me.

I've been using them for the Last couple of weeks, and they have been working well for me. I colonize small planets/moons which will only hold 1 facility. Takes bunch of turns to build the Atmosphere Converter, then around 30 turns later I get a report that says "Atmosphere converted" and lo and behold, I can now put in 5, 6 or more facilities. I'd say it's working.

I play mostly un-modded, BTW. The only changes with my game are some custom weapons that I'm messing with.

Lerchey - I was refering to the Climate Control Facility not the Atmospheric Modification Plant. The CCF is suppose to upgrade the planet conditions for better reproductive rates. Thanks for your input though.

Possum - That is the same problem I am having. I've had a CCF III on a planet with unpleasant conditions for at least 20 turns now. I would think it would take less time to better planet conditions a little then to convert a planet's atmosphere.

Has anyone out there had any success with the Climate Control Facility?

Thanks,

Questor

Like Drake. I never build them.

For an extra 2k,2k,2k, you could instead build a Value Improvement Plant III that DEFINITELY increases your resources at the rate of 3% every year.

I've had Climate Control Facilities on some "Deadly" planets for ages, and not gotten them to improve.

However, I think I've seen a couple planets improve to "Good". But I haven't really tracked it very well.
