Taken from Donovans - Maximum structures:


Mines: one for every clan up to 200, above that it's 200+SQRT(clans-200)


Factories: one for every clan up to 100, above that it's 100+SQRT(clans-100)


Effectively this is one for every clan up to 101, due to SQRT(101-100) being 1


Defenseposts: one for every clan up to 50, above that it's 50+SQRT(clans-50)


NU: Uses the math.floor (truncate) function


==Hostile Planets ==
THOST/PHOST: Uses the round function, so in some cases there can be one more item.
For any non-Crystal race, a hostile planet is one that is over 84 or under 15 degrees (50 being the average, or "ideal" temperature). The Crystal Confederation prefer 100°, but 0° is the only temperature planet they cannot live on.


Most VGAP UIs will calculate the maximum clans a planet can hold. What is not immediately obvious is that clans on the surface of a planet in excess of the maximum can eat supplies (a small amount) to live, provided that there are enough supplies on the planet.
== Population vs Temp ==


For every extra clan over the maximum population, four supply units must also be on the surface of the planet to ensure their survival.
derived from [[Taxes, Happiness, and Population Growth]]


For instance, if the maximum population of a planet is 189 clans, you may put 289 clans on a planet provided you ALSO ship in, or accumulate, 400 supplies, and simply leave them there. Two or three will be "eaten" every turn, but those are easily replaced by factory production and will not usually be noticeable.

This can occasionally be difficult to arrange. An Avian planet requiring 1200 clans over maximum population will need a staggering 4800 supplies! Yet this will pay itself back quite quickly with patience, because it raises the maximum amount taxable from the natives per turn.
[[category:Space Objects]]
 
If you're playing the Rebels you're lucky since they can support 90,000 clans on arctic planets (without the need of supplies). While the Crystals prefer 100 degree planets, they actually have a maximum population advantage on all hostile (<15° or >84°, with the exception of 0°) planets compared to other races (except Rebels on cold planets).

Overview

Planets are natural Space Objects strewn throughout the galactic map. Each planet is assigned an ID and a name to differentiate itself from other planets in the galaxy. Each planet is different in its minerals and fuel that may be mined, and the densities thereof.

Ones expand their empire by colonizing and developing these planets. Naturally, every empire is going to want to expand as much as they can.

Each planet has a climate in the range from 0-100 degrees that is used to determine the conditions of the planet.

Natives

Main Article: Natives

Some planets carry these non-playable lifeforms known as natives. Natives can carry special abilities that may be used to (usually) aid an empire in its growth.

All non-Amorphous natives can be taxed to collect additional megacredits, but enough colonists must be present to collect the taxes in question.

Points in orange has different effects for ships using the Hyperdrive ability

Gravity wells

Each planet has Gravity wells (or simply warp wells) that ships may use to reduce fuel consumption. There are exceptions towards the rule, such as when a player suspects there may be a cloaker at the planet.

Mines: one for every clan up to 200, above that it's 200+SQRT(clans-200)
