Hi everybody,
Has anybody noticed what determines if you'll get a Desert or a Tundra when you terraform a Barren planet?
It seems like every other climate results in a certain climate and everything converges to terran, but for Barren planets you can have these two outcomes...
I've just joined the forum, so sorry if this has been mentioned a long time ago

Terraforming paths
It is random. There are two terraforming paths: barren>tundra>swamp>terran and barren>desert>arid>terran.

No idea...while I haven't kept any statistics, it seems to me that I say to myself, "Darn...tundra" as often as I say, "Cool! Desert!" (switch those if I'm playing aquatic).Yes, seems to be random...but who knows...mebbe Gusset (who terraforms a lot) has some further info.
Actually I was hoping for another of those mathematical breakdowns on this subject to be added to your web site, Siron, to go with the pop analyses and other such stuff...
I agree wtih the sentiment of this thread...it would be cool if there were a way to predict it, or better yet, to influence it.

TrixX has just published his map generator statistics on this blog. I hope furhter contributions will follow. BTW elachuni, is TrixX your LAN buddy?Actually I was hoping for another of those mathematical breakdowns on this subject to be added to your web site, Siron, to go with the pop analyses and other such stuff... Wink
True...but no clue....mebbe the planet surface screen provides hints? I almost never watch this screen....I agree wtih the sentiment of this thread...it would be cool if there were a way to predict it, or better yet, to influence it.

I'm surprised that so many people hadn't figured this out. It had always been pretty obvious to me.A friend of mine just tested this. His conclusion: barren planets in the inner two orbits always go to desert, the outer two orbits always go to tundra, and the middle orbit is 50/50. Doesn't seem to matter if it started as a radiated or not.
