Atmosphere

Remember 2.5 years is 25 turns. I don't know if that was the problem but I'll share a little embarrasment of my own. I've played the game several times, even used the Atmo Convtrs b/f and I KNEW that 2.5 years is 25 turns but for some reason, Last nite I had the ultimate brain fart. Built a Value Improv'mt plant, waited 1 turn for my 1% improvement, but alas no improvement. Then the light came on and I was completely ashamed. Oh well. Live and learn.

Speaking of atmospheric conVersion, one thing that would be nice as an interface add-on would be an indicator of some sort showing how much time you have left before a planet's atmosphere is converted. One in the Main Window when you click on a planet, and some indicator in the Colonies window with the same information.

Also a atomsphere converter will NOT convert a gas giant to a none atomsphere. (perhaps a constructed world it might, I have not tried that one yet)

Str8_Gain, I second your comments. It would be nice to see atmospheric conVersion progressing. Same for conditions.....

There are no gas giant none pictures in the files so it can't change to what doesn't exist.

You can't have a gas giant without gas.

given that scientistis think the core of jupiter (and therefore any other gas giant with similar atmospheric composition) is likely to be a diamond the size of earth, converting it to a vacuum should leave you with a small rocky world.

it should also ruin your economy, perhaps.
