Atmospheric conditioners or ringworlds?

They are both valuable. Do both of them.

Or, just go rampaging through AI territory and end the game.

Of course, capturing alien populations often eliminates the need for atmosphere converters (as PvK alluded to).

True but if you have a large empire and you're not at war with anyone, they are a valid option. If you do have other breathers lying around, then it's cheaper to move the pop.

I have actually moved some pop around and converted some 30 ish planets (from 302 total) like this before i started building athmospheric converters.

Still, nothing beats system after system of 100% oxy worlds, sparkling in in the sun

It is truly beautiful. *sniff*

One of the beauty of Proportions is that you simply can not capture enough aliens to fill all
your Domed Planets. Even after conquering Homeworlds, the shipping time can be prohibitive. Thus, you MUST research and build Atmospheric converters ! I like it.

Proportions seems like a fun mod but isn't play generally slow. I mean if it takes so long to travel and build pop, the games should Last longer right?
Also, i'm not sure if i like that culture thingie that takes so long to build (don't know the exact name). I know it's main purpose is to emphasize the importance of the homeworld but i think that importance is bit overdone.

Otherwise it seems fun especially since planets have more cargo capability so more planetary defenses can be build.
I think i will try this mod when my current solo game is over.

So do most mods. Try P&N or FQM Deluxe for other mods with better storage values.

It is called Replicant Centers. Sure, only +1-4 mil per turn, but that is a huge amount in Proportions.

I resent one and every organic manipulation races. Temporal is the only decent race trait ! (IMHO of course

) Occasionally I play Crystalline, but Organic send shievers down my spine.
