How many?
How many fields will it add? I believe it is 5 every time.
Can you increase the temperature of the planet? I don't think so.
I tried terraforming to see what it would do and for 32k in credits approximate on a planet of size 127 or so it would raise the fields by 5 pts. and nothing else was affected from initial plans. It waited for approval which I did not go ahead with.
Seems like robbery to me
A planet with 170ish fields might be a good candidate, but 50k+ in credits for five additional fields is crazy overpriced. I wouldn't worry about it unbalancing the game too much; people with credits will still find it more economical to re-colonize. I suspect this is an endgame ability to be used when, say, your home planet needs just a few more fields to squeeze in the foundry or something.
Blue Frog made this comment about it:
- "I think you and everyone else complaining about the large cost of upgrading an already huge planet are missing the point. You'll never fill a 306 field planet, or even a 206, so why would you terraform it? If we based the price such that it were affordable for a 300 field planet, which nobody would ever terraform, it would be way too cheap for a 150 field planet which will be terraformed frequently.
- We're just now getting to the point where people are filling their home worlds (163 fields) after the game has been live for exactly 4 months. And since buildings cost exponentially more with each level, you'd have to play for probably at least a year just to fill a 185 slot (assuming you're not intentionally doing stuff to overbuild like Factory lvl 10).
- The price for upgrading your home world is about 53k credits. That's been fairly common already."
Max
Can this increase a planet's size beyond 320? I heard that was the max base size.
- Why would you want to? See the above comments by BFG. --Rob 20:58, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
