It changes the atm to that breathed by whatever the majority of the pop is when it does the conVersion, not when it was built. Less data has to be saved that way. And, it will do a conVersion every single turn after X turns passed if it is able to. It is not every X turns.
I didn't know it would "update" the atmosphere to reflect the curretn population. That's... odd. But useful, I guess.
Here's a question though: When it's working out the population levels, does it look for the largest atmosphere grouping or the largest racial grouping?
If I have a planet with:
12 million humans (oxy)
9 million druk (mehtane)
8 million Xi (methane)
will it think
code:
12>9 AND 10>8
and therefore change the atmos to oxy, or will it see that
code:
12<(9+8)
and change it to methane?
