So it is possible to raise the planet conditions when it is at deadly.
As said earlier in the thread, it is possible with a regular Deadly planet (edited in the... erh, editor to have a condition of 0.0). However, I have yet to test if you can raise a planet whose condition should be under 0. (1.5 at best - 2.0 means -0.5) I will launch yet another test to know if you can.

However, I needed no less than almost 40 years before changing the conditions from Deadly to Harsh. Rather long as you can see.

If it in fact ads and not multiples then I do not see the difference in the edit test.

Hmm, I made another test to be sure, but the problem is, this test contradicts what I wrote earlier. Here are the results:

* A Deadly Planet, conditions 0.0 => Needs around 40 years to go to Harsh status. So it should mean it is an addition and not a multiplication. (0X1.03 would still be 0 after 40 years)
* However, a Deadly Planet, conditions 0.2 => Needs exactly 14 years to go to the same status. And if you add 14 times 3% at 0.2, you have around 0.3 So, according to this second test, it does multiply.

The only explanation I can think of to explain this situation would be that 0.0 is considered as being 0.1 for calcuation purpose. Then, if you add to 0.1 39 times 3%, you will have around 0.3 once again, which is Harsh status. Does that sound possible to you? Again, I cannot think of something else to explain such results.
