Arid Type Change
An inhospitable, dry world that has a much smaller percentage of water in its atmosphere than the terran standard. Nonetheless, an atmosphere and magnetic field protect the surface from stellar radiation permitting a small biosphere to slowly eke out an existence here.
Duration: 400 days (configurable via LunaLib settings)
Requirements:
- World type allows terraforming
- Planet is not already a desert world
- Atmospheric density is normal
- Atmosphere is not toxic or irradiated
- Temperature is temperate or hot (cannot be cold, very cold, or very hot)
- Stellar Reflector Array is operational on the colony
- Water level is medium or higher
Results:
Notes:
- Planets with low base water will need an Ismara's Sling or Asteroid Processing facility in the same system to reach medium water level.
- After the type change, resources start at their base level for arid worlds. Use farmland, organics, and volatiles improvement projects to increase them further.
- Ore deposits are never modified by terraforming projects.
