PLanet Mineral and Climate rating

Archived from groups: alt.games.vgaplanets4 (More info?)

What I got so far, I'm searching if the planet climate can change
naturally, whitout ships warmer, or cooler, or with building terraformer.



Is there any way to increase the max soil rating for farming ?



New metals from HD Stress in the planet's core



The energy known as hyper dimensional stress ( HD stress ) is
transformed by the planet into new metal ore.

A planet with a hyper dimensional stress level of more than 100 will
produce new metals in the planet`s core at these levels:

R = ((STRESS / 100 ) * (STRESS / 100)) * 10

New Duranium = R * 1.1

New Tritanium = R * 0.8

New Molybdenum = R * 0.5

New Neutronium Fuel = R * 1.5

Some ships have ore processing devices that can convert ore into
metals.

There is a great danger of the planet exploding when the HD Stress
exceeds 1000 H



Hyper dimensional stress

Higher the better planet will produce new ORE , at 1000 or more planet
can explode



DELTA STRESS = BASE FREQUENCY

Base Frequency = change to Hyper dimensional stress EVERY TURN

A negative frequency causes the planet decrease in stress each turn.
A positive base frequency adds to the stress level of the planet.



> SWD to get the Base Freq=0 so the HD Stress is stabil somewhere
between

> 900 and 1000. Hoped to get a bunch of good mineral planets.



Don´t do this. As Tim statet once you need Base Frey >0 to get new
minerals.

The stress delta must be positive to get minerals.



But stress delta isn't always an int. So sometimes a base that appears

to have 0 stress delta will get minerals, while other times it won't.

Don't understand your whole posting. Why did you post the (deleted)
Stress part ?

Yes, the climate change to to the star heat but from my observation it
is mostly some degrees over the star heat.
Tim wrote me before some time, that a nearby other star can heat up a
planet to so that the climat is over the star heat. But observe a planet
with 0 Delta Stress or below and the next star was around 50 LYs away.
The clima climb from under the star heat up to around 3-4 degrees over
the star heat and then it was fluctating a little with max of so +2 and
min -2 around. Very nice to see when I could no longer farm on my Base.

Yes, look at the device list for ships for devices increasing the soil
rate. For more infos RTFM.

Bye-Bye JoSch.

i don't know about change over time, but if it equilibrates to
anything, i think it's the following:
planet temp (or climate) = star heat + some hyperdimensional stress
stat (don't recall the exact term)

The People's Army is one race that I know has the Soil Reformer. Also,
a Protomatter Cannon (super weapon - Birdmen, Feds, maybe others) can
reform an asteroid into a planet with 600+ soil rating. I haven't done
this, but have read it here. I understand that the HD stress of this
new planet is very high, so you'll have to take care of that. Crystals
use the HyperLathe to turn HD Stress into food (10 per stress). A Soil
Sterilizer device ship (many races) will reduce the soil rating of a
planet. Agro Dome device ships (some races) produce food from nothing
every turn.

Planets with HD stress over 1000 have a 1% chance per stress over 1000
to explode every turn. The Scalar Wave Dampner device can bring the HD
Stress Delta to a negative number. I've read, but not experience yet,
that high negative HD stress will produce the free unmined metals. The
thread here about the stress feedback has an interesting quirk also.

Ore is different from unmined metals. The Laser Mining device ships
(many races) and Particle Fountain device ships (many races) can affect
unmined metals. These also increase the climate of the planet (making
farming more difficult possibly) and the HD Stress. They will only
work when unmined metals exist. Ore Processing device ships (many
races) affect ore. Alchemy device ships (many races) can create metals
from supplies, which you make from money...so you can buy metals in a
sense.

Hope that helps,

More specificly the Soil Reformer device will work if the current soil
rating is less than 250 and increase it by 5.

So a planet that had a soil rating of 249 can be improved to 254, but a
planet that has a soil rating of 245 can only be improved to 250

Every ship rechecks this so multiple soil reforming ships won't result
in soil rating geting past that range.

As an EE player, I would b most interested in the finding of negative
stress on a planet.

I have a -1000 with freq -100 planet , but have not paid much attention
to its minerals..But am nearly out of 3 types...so would b interesting
to know if and what negative stress would give me minerals....

Cheers.

That is exactly what I was looking for

planet need 100+ stress and 1+ base frequency to produce new ore in the core
of the planet.

and now the formula to compute it

thanks

<100 Stress and/or <0 Delta means no additional minerals.

Negatives used to allow for mineral growth (since -x times -x is the
same as +x times +x).

That was removed quite a few hosts ago though.

Using the RaceView tool, you can skim through the race packs fairly
quickly.

I went through it and filled out a grid, marking which races have which
devices.

Not sure about that seeking info in old post for vgap 4 is a good idea.
new host version happen often, old info may not be up to date, like on Tim
site.

I prefer asking for up to date info.

but thanks for the idea.

Well there u go,
My 900+ stress planet with freq of 13 is producing lots of extra
minerals...just had to lower the freq to 5 to make it hang around for a
while...lol..seems like hundreds of each mineral....above calculation
was 1100 roughly.
Previous 2 turns ago was..15k,13k,9145,5162 stress 908, freq 13. then
next turn...havent got the rst to check...
then this turn when my H-ross turned up to lower the freq by 8 to
5...with stress of 923.???..16K,14K,10K,5722.

On the other hand my neg stress -1100 planet with freq -113 is not
producing any minerals that I can tell anyway.
Only advantage in such a negative planet is the solar raganock device
of the solorian cant blow the planet on me...
Or the glory devices have much effect on the planet either....

Cheers.
