Can unclaimed Gas Giants have Plentiful Volatiles?
« on: April 05, 2021, 09:29:25 AM »

The most I've found on gas giants by exploration was abundant volatiles (+1). There are ones with plentiful volatiles (+2) in the core systems but procedurally generated ones seem to be capped at +1, other planet types seem capable of +2 though. I'm looking for a place to use that gas giant mining device.

Seems odd if the core worlds let gas giants have traits they can't have in the wild, these don't seem like they're relevant to the way the core worlds work.

Most of the gas giants is at -1 in my game but cryo planets almost all is at +2 - maybe this is why colony item gives bonus for +3 production on gas giants only.

It's only a +2 bonus so it's barely better than a cryo planet or ice giant with plentiful.

I'm assuming that the item won't work on an ice giant.

EDIT: Seems I misremembered, the item is +3. And I've finally found a single +2 gas giant. Jeez, these are rare...
