Asteroid impacts colony event

What happens if I let the impacts keep happening? I'm always done the defense system thing in the past.

Well no, I meant will they keep dropping minerals deposits on the planet?

Asteroids are made of minerals so yeah, guess it just depends on how big the mineral is am i right fella

I'd suggest dropping a save, when you get such an event and then just watch and enjoy :D

If your outpost isn't close enough to pop it with missiles.

Oh my god, you guys think I'm talking about the event where an asteroid FLEET approaches your colony lol.

I'm talking about the one related to the palnet modifier, asteroid impacts, which gives a 5% mineral bonus and +2 mining districts. After you colonize the planet, you'll get an event where asteroids land on the world and sometimes create a planetary feature called "impact, granting more mineral districts (on top of the district bonus already in place). You're proposed with either building a defense system or just saying "tough crap" and letting them endure more.

The question I'm wondering is if I choose the "tough crap" option, will more asteroids land on the planet and thus create more mineral districts?

[Mistfox]

It will come down and ruin buildings and kill pop. I don't recall it ever giving more districts though, the planet modifier is the one doing that and it's a one off, not the repeatable event.

[Azrael]

Oh ok, I never had that event, as far as I'm aware off (but also I'm not a 24/7 Stellaris Gamer), I assume, if you do the "hard option", that people could get killed and you get increased minerals and stuff.
Just try it out, don't harbor any emotional connection for your pops, afterall, these are all pixels and data anyway :D

Asteroids periodically drop giving minerals and dropping happiness. With a machine civilization I didn't care about the latter so never bothered with the defense system and nothing bad has happened in about 150 years.
