Are homeplanets affected by high/catastrophic events?

Probably, if +3 facility add 0.03 per year. But wat if it multiply by 1.03 and the value is 0.0, like resources in the finite game ?

My only experience was 250 turns of recovering the deadly planet with +3 facility - no change. I give up then

I did test and it doesn't multiply but rather add, as a planet with 0.0 conditions managed to reach Harsh status after a few hundred turns. (And obviously, 0X1.03 would still be 0 after a thousand years) Or perhaps +3 means than you need around 33 years before the conditions are actually altered? It would deserve proper testing, as I apparently forget to test with a 0.2 planet. (The delay should be much faster there)

However, could you resume your game (or rather, take a book and put the book on the F12 key) for a few more hundred turns? (Or even send the savegame to me so that I will be able to test what happens afterwards) I cannot create a situation where I am having a planet below 0.0 as the condition decrease event is still striking the planet every two years or so.
