Re: Atmosphere
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.

Re: Atmosphere
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)

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

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

Re: Atmosphere
You can't have a gas giant without gas.

Re: Atmosphere
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.

can you post a link to that info? it sort of dorks with how i understand elementary phisics, its been a while, but i thought i was paying attention.
that might be the case if all the carbon on jupiter wandered to the center, but even so i kinda thought things turned to liquid (mose dense state of matter) as it was compressed. man, i hate it when they release Version 2.0 of the universe just because sales on the first edition were dropping off, and all your knowledge goes out of date.
