Default Re: Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

What about just removing the event "Star – Destroyed" from the event file

I was very sceptical too, but then my HW went from Good to Deadly in one month

However, there might be a trend for HW be protected, but it is not 100%. Only MM can tell us.

your saying you went from good to deadly, that is a what, -50 to 90 drop?
At -5 or a -10 even a -20 event how can you drop to deadly from good in one turn?

What are the numbers, if
100 is optimal
mild ?
good ?
unpleasent ?
harsh ?
0 is deadly

Apparently it works differently. Fyron mentioned planet conditions go from 0.0 to 1.50 I really would like to know how it works. I was really surprised when one planet went from good to deadly after -20 event.

Here is Fyron' post:

"Conditions are stored as a variable ranging from 0.00 to 1.50. Conditions improving facilities improve by .01-.03. So, after 200 turns, it should have improved by .60. IIRC, the lowest threshhold for Unpleasant is .70, so dropping by 20 should have made it .50, and 200 turns should have brought it to 1.10, which is Mild IIRC.

Are you certain there is no other event with the same label and such that could have dropped it by more than 20 (.20)? If the conditions dropped to 0, they would have to be raised by around 70 to hit unpleasant again (I think that is the lowest for unpleasant, though I am not certain)."

----
Now I wonder - what is the formulae to calculate the effect of -10 or -20 event ? Multiply by 0.9/0.8 ?? Subtract 0.1/0.2 ??? I think it is much more severe.
