3.14 Climates

3.14.1 Basic principles

The climate of a planet has a strong influence on a private station. In essence, the climate influences the following factors:

Food production per farmer, Maximum population at the station, Resulting pollution per production point, Operating costs of buildings.

3.14.3 Terraforming

There are 4 research projects that influence the climate. Building the building also corresponds to the transformation of the planet. Attention to the module Terraforming: Any further use of terraforming doubles the costs.

The following table describes the possibilities of terraforming. On the left is the "start" -climate, in the table there is the possible end-climates.
