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.

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Version 2.0 of the universe just because sales on the first edition were dropping off, and all your knowledge goes out of date.
