Default Making oxygen

Can I research something to make the domed planets have oxygen atmosphere as my people breathes?
The Climate control Facility 1 only improves the condition, right? (Mild-optimal etc).

Keep researching the same tech area. Levels 1-3 are climate control, Levels 4-6 are value improvment (resource value), and Levels 7-9 are atmospheric conVersion facilities (3 years for the first one, down to 2 years for the Last). You can scrap the facility once its job is done (IIRC, you get a log message).

As you go up the research ladder in that area - you get a facility that can convert the atmosphere to your 'norm'. Once the atmosphere is converted - you can scrap the facility.

Keep on truckin'!

Your on the right track Ruatha, you have 3 levels of climate control, 3levels of value improvement plants net, and finally you will hit 3 levels of Atmospheric modifacation plants

Yeah its an Atmospheric Modification Plant, it changes your atmosphere 2 or 3 years (depending on what level facility u've got) after you've built the facility. I think you've got to research planetary engineering level 1, then planetary utilization up to level 7, or for the better Version, level 9

Default Re: Making oxygen

If I build an climate control 1 facility (Tech 1) can I upgrade it up to tech 7 or must I scrap it after tech 3 and build another kind of facility ?

No, you can only upgrade Climate Control Facility, Value Improvement Plant, and Atmospheric Modification Facility from I, II, III.

They are separate facilities doing different things so you build and upgarde separately.

That's important, cause conditions and value might not be at maximum when you got Atmosphere modifiers -- you wouldn't want them to disapper before they were done.

It seems like a waste of facility space to put a climate facility on 5 facilities planets (domed) to improve conditions, but maybe It's worth it?
For future use when changing atmosphere later.
