Reversing Anti-planet spy mission?

[Sockum]

I built a Climate Control Facility III (CCF) on the affected planet. I read the CCF description as increasing the planet condition by 3% each turn.

If as Slynky says the CCF only increases the planet condition by 3% per YEAR, then maybe I'll see a change as I continue to play. Although I believe I've had a CCF for at least 2 years, and the planet condition is still Deadly.

In any case, thanks for the replies -- its always nice to know you're not playing in a vacuum!

Yes, so after 2 years, a CI-3 plant will get you only 6%.

Assuming your planet got knocked down to 0%, and IIRC, the planet modifiers are every 20% or so, it'll take 3 more years to get to harsh conditions.

However, CI facilities, (and value improvement plants, too) will fully stack.
If you build two or three on the planet, you'll get the improvements 2 or 3 times faster.

True. But a few differences in percentage points on a place you never intend to populate don't really matter. I'm talking about places with less than 100 pop. Places you settle with 4 pop.

IF this is a big planet with a large populaton (or large planned population), those few differences in percentage growth becomes more important.

In a current game, growth percentages range from 11% (unpleasent) to 18% (optimal). Not sure what deadly does... .

But, as I said, if you've been "zapped", it will take years (!) to repair it and not many games I play in Last past 10 years for the whole game.

I guess you could say, "If you have nothing else to build there, then try to improve the conditions with a fac." But take a look at how long the game may Last first.

All planets are destined to have max population. Acquire samples of other races, and optimize the planets. Convert the atmospheres of those you can't get. Take Organic so you can build Replicant Centers in every system.
