Planets

Planet surfaces
There are nine different planet types in the game (in the list below "Moon like" is missing). Each planet has a production value and population growth factor. The production value is random and usually between 50% and 200%. Usually your starting planet has a production value of 100%. Planets inhabited by Kra'hen receive a 25% production bonus. Population growth of a planet depends on the surface and the race inhabiting the planet (the race that settled it - no matter who currently owns the planet). Each race favours different types of planets with the exception of the Godan. Each race has three prefered planet types with 150% population growth, four average planet types with 100% population growth and two disliked planet types with only 50% population growth. However the Toluen get a +30% population growth bonus on their planets and the Godan have 150% population growth on all planets. Before colonizing a planet it can be terraformed. Terraformed planets have always a 150% population growth factor. The game starts on a prefered planet with 150% population growth.
