what use is climate control facility?

BTW - the improvements for climate control and value improvement facilities are supposed to be per YEAR (i.e. 10 turns), not per TURN.

Of course, looking at the ability descriptions, it may be change per turn, even though the facility descriptions say per year...

EDIT: BTW - the percentage changes on climate conditions also mean it may take a VERY long time to actually change the climate conditions. I had 10 climate control facility III's on a planet with deadly conditions, and after 20 turns it still hadn't changed from deadly. Which means, assuming the change is per year, improving deadly conditions by 60% had NO EFFECT. If the conditions improved per turn, improving deadly conditions by 600% had no effect.

That also assumes the climate control facities stack..

It is also possible that the conditions were very negative, due to intel ops, and that +60% change only brought it back to around zero...

OK, I used the climate control facilities, and they do work. They work very slowly and leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling. I think they actually helped once in a long drawn out game set in a huge disconnected galaxy.

UPGRADES HAPPEN!!!
