Prospective Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I've been considering this recently but am unsure if this happens or not. Does the pollution index increase on the homeworld every turn? Or does pollution only increase on colony worlds as they get built up? What happens if I increase the amount of stripmines on the HW? OR, if I increase the number of IC's... what effects does that have? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobknob Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 You will have to do PMAP's on a regular basis to find out. COme people start with high pollution or high Microbes or Rads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKE235 Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yes, my own HW for the Concordium started with enough pollution that the world is "Close but Less than Ideal" for my race when I scan it. BUT, Pete has pointed out that Homeworlds are special in that much of the attrition rules do not apply to the HW. Hence you can have races start on highly polluted or microbe infested worlds, and your race is unaffected (Note: Such conditions could be considered a bonus as they make invasion of the world more difficult for enemy troops). No word from Pete on what happens if your HW changes from No pollution to Heavily Polluted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldred Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 On my HW pollution is "a major concern" although our conditions are still ideal. My understanding is that if we were to colonise another world with similar levels of pollution we would need lots of pollution processors. Apparently our native immunity to pollution only extends to the HW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently our native immunity to pollution only extends to the HW. It's a different sort of pollution. If one is used to LA smog, then goes to Denver during a pressure inversion, there could still be trouble, because of the different gases involved.

Kahless Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 The last time I suffered from a pressure inversion, there was an audible noise and the odor was not pleasant. :lol: :lol: Kahless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternusIV Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 :lol: Nice, Kahless Yeah - Pete mentioned something about pollution not affecting our HW a while back. A good thing, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
