Ulite: Planet Climates

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.

3.14.2 Climates List

The list of climates, sorted from bad to good:

Climate	Food	Max population	Pollution	Building costs	Note
Dead	0	3	Very high	Very high	Maximum population including all research is 3.
Inferno	0	Very low	High	High
Radiated	0	Very low	Very high	Medium
Toxic	0	Very low	Very high	High
Barren	0	Very low	Very high	Normal
Desert	1	Low	High	Medium	From here food production possible.
Steppe	1	Medium	Elevated	Medium
Arid	1	Medium	Elevated	Normal
Tundra	1	Medium	Elevated	Normal
Jungle	2	Medium	Low	Medium	From here good food.
Swamp	2	Medium	Low	Normal
Ocean	2	Medium	Low	Normal
Terran	2	High	Low	Normal
Gaia	3	Very high	Very low	Normal	Maximum Nutrition.

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.
