AST and Atmospheric processors

As far as I know, the AMP's I - III were not changed for the AST mod. I know that Atrocities added a new AMP called the Genisis to the Facilities.txt, and it seems to work just fine.

What I have noticed is that if the planet is an irradated world, ie Fyron's Q mod, they do not convert.

Send me your save game file. cncraymond@astmod.com

Thanks for the bug report. I will try and find out the cause.

I have confirmed that the AMP I - III are un-modded. I would suspect that your problem is with irradated planets.

Can the system gravitaional shields that prevents stellar manip play a part in this? i e prevent all stellar/planetary changes?

No.

Irradiated worlds should be able to be changed to a different atmosphere, but that would be a bad idea, as domed colonies on them are better than non-domed colonies.

No deal on the Irradiated worlds Fryon, CNC is correct, they can not be converted. This is the problem that is causing the AMP not to work. The AMP's do work on all other worlds. But if you can, research the SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY, and get the Genesis Facility. It Converts atomspheres in about 1 to 5 turns. Very cool.

You _should_ be able to convert their atmospheres, but it is still a bad idea to do so.

Maybe it does not allow the conVersion because the domed colony would have fewer facility slots. I will have to investigate this further.

Thanks Imperator Fyron. That is just the sort of remedial instruction I sometimes require. I'll check it when I get home. Meanwhile, I looked again Last night and the vast majority of the systems that won't convert are gas giants, which, you all have pointed out, can't be converted to "none". This raises another question, when you upgrade an Atm Conv, is the "conVersion clock" reset? What happens to the conVersion work already done?

This has been an interesting thread and I have learned a great deal, even if my problems turn out to be mostly a dumb "gas-giant-to-none" faux pas. BTW, I thought gas giants had a solid core.(?)
