Talk:Ecology (Revised)

Old Formatting
Here it is, for posterity. I'll admit I had a hard time understanding the original, so someone might double-check the new one.
- Eco-Damage = (DamageFactor * Perihelion * Techs * Life * Difficulty * Planet) / 300
- Planet = PLANET Social Engineering -3, to a minimum of 1.
- Difficulty = 3 on Librarian and lower, 5 on Thinker and Transcend
- Life = 1, 2 or 3 for Rare, Normal or Abundant native life
- Techs = # of techs discovered by your faction
- Perihelion = 1 or 2 depending on whether Alpha Centauri is in perihelion
- DamageFactor = Int ((Terraforming - Cleanmins1) + ((Minerals - Cleanmins2 + 5 * Atrocities) / (1 + Goodfacs)))
- Terraforming = ((2*# worked (not crawled) improvements other than kelp farms) + (# of unworked improvements) + 8 * Boreholes + 6 * Echelon Mirrors + 4 * Condensers +1 if a Seabase - # of Forests) / 8. Divide by 2 for presence of a Tree Farm and reduce to 0 for presence of a Hybrid Forest. Improvements include Roads, Mag Tubes, Farms, Mines, Solar Collectors, Soil Enrichers, Boreholes, Echelon Mirrors, Kelp Farms, Tidal Harnesses, Offshore Platforms and Condensers.
- Cleanmins = 16 + # Fungal Blooms + # Tree Farms, Hybrid Forests, Centauri Preserves and Temples of Planet constructed by your faction since the first Fungal Bloom.
- Cleanmins1 = Cleanmins or Terraforming, whichever is less. If Terraforming is negative, Cleanmins1 = 0.
- Cleanmins2 = Cleanmins - Cleanmins1.
- Minerals = Total minerals produced by this base after multiplying by facilities - total minerals received by this base from orbit.
- Goodfacs = 1 each for the presence of Centauri Preserve, Temple of Planet and Nanoreplicator in this base, + 1 each for possessing the Pholus Mutagen and Singularity Inductor.
- Atrocities = Number of Major Atrocities committed by your faction. These include the use of Planet Busters or Tectonic Missiles, but do not include the use of Fungal Payloads, or Nerve Stapling. Any atrocities after lifting the U.N.-charter do not count.
