No food production in latest version

Post by S-P »

Is this now intentional in the latest version? I'm not getting any food production on some planet types i.e. Metalic worlds etc. Even with max farming upgrades I get zero food, am I missing something here or is this a glitch.

We didn't change how farming works but it's a by-product of the Terraforming technology change.

Terraforming no longer increases habitable area, population growth and farming efficiency automatically. Instead after you colonize a hostile (to your race) planet you need to terraform it to a type that is habitable.

Use the ecology control to terraform until it's suitable to your race. We're still looking to make some changes here though so you are right currently if you build a farming build you would expect it to work. We will make some changes here to make it behave as one would expect.

OK thanks, how long does it currently take to terraform a planet?

Never mind, I've found the terraforming ability. I guess the amount of time needed is dependent on the level of Terraforming.
