Strange thing with Facilities

[PaladinX]

Sounds like a planet that has become domed... Did you bring population there that can't breathe the atmosphere? Because if any portion of the population of the planet can't breathe the planet's atmosphere, it becomes a domed colony with all the space limits that implies.

I cant remember.
When you dome a planet like this by having a mixed atmosphere population requirement... do all of the facilities still get used?
or just the first 5(etc)

[Baron Grazic]

Sounds like PaladinX hit the nail on the head.
If a planet has 24 facilities and then a different breathing race is dropped on the planet, it will now be domed.
The extra facilities will continue to work but you wan't be able to build any new facilities until the planet becomes un-domed again.

Actually i have just noticed that the "conditions" on the planet have changed to "deadly" although the population still seems to be growing. I suspect this is from an intel attack. I haven't moved any population to the planet, still the original population type. How do I fix the problem?

[Baron Grazic]

"Deadly" conditions shouldn't make a planet become domed.
Population hasn't dropped to 0M has it?
Unless someone else has some other suggestions, Perhaps upload your turn and I'll take a look at it.

One thing you can do is upgrade those facilities. I have a similar situation in one of my games and was able to upgrade the spaceyard and the mineral miners with no hoo-hoo.

Deadly does not necessarily mean no reproduction. IIRC, it means that the conditions value (not to be confused with resource values) of the planet (which is only in the map editor) is between 0 and 0.60. 1.0 is the average value, and it goes up to 1.50 for Optimal planets.
