How to view all habital planets in a list?

[fawkernot]

I can't seem to find the tab anywhere.

I don't think there is one. Instead enable additional icons in the bottom right of your interface (the checkbox) to see the planet habitability icons appear.

Grey means there's a planet that hasn't been surveyed in a system (you can still mouse over and immediately figure out if it's a biome you can colonize).

When surveyed it shows one of three colours, red, yellow and green, each being more habitable than the other.

based of your basic 7(which habitability based on your research to make them yellow), topping gaia, and a spoiler ring type of world(s) that surrounds its sun.

moreover the habitability was also can be tweak via your empire traits "(highly) adaptability"

[Kordanor]

In any case you need the technology to colonize the planet unlike it is your own planet style (or Gaia). Which imho makes it very problematic as it's very luck based when this tech pops up for being researched. If you have bad luck, you can have like 5 habitable planets around you, and spend dozens of years researching with the hopes that finally the right option pops up.ß

All part of the challenge. Then you find a nice neighbor and annex them into your empire and piggyback off of their planets for a while.

or even worse NO star near your influence trust me(I got it once I immediately restart a new game) but normal it will have at least one or two given the chance of stuff turn up via the scripting.

[Mr.Person]

sorry for the necro but I think its better than starting a new thread.

Has this been updated as a feature yet? I would like to know because I have terraforming, and I want to know if any of the planet types I can terraform a non-colonizeable planet into will make it habitable for my people, but I can't see where it tells me if it even does.

They've added in an expansion planner. I don't like the interface, but it's a list of all of the habitable planets, plus you can colonize them directly from this menu; it lets you pick where the colony ship is built from and which Pop will be on it.

[Mr.Person]

In this case, the planet is in my home system, and it does not show me (that I can find) what a planet's habitibility will be after I terraform it to another planet type. Do I just have to guess and hope?

Why would you terraform it to something other than your homeworld type or a gaia world?

[Mr.Person]

I guess I'm not being clear enough, there is a 2nd colonizeable planet in my home system. My main planet type is Oceanic, but its a desert type. At the moment I have the option to change it to Arid or Savannah but neither tell me what its Habitability will become from the terraforming list, just the cost of it.

That won't change the habitability for your race.

Habitability is listed on a race's traits as their preferences. Homeworld/gaia/ringworld = 100%, same biome as homeworld = 80%, same type (Dry, wet, or cold) = 60%, different type = 20%. Desert, Arid, and Savannah will all be 20% for you.

[Mr.Person]

ah, didn't know that. So I can never eventually terraform it to be a different type? What is the point of terraforming if its not changing the type and thus not changing the habitability?

The first terraforming tech can't change the world type, and thus is only good and changing things from 60% habatability to 80%. There is a second tech that lets you change between wet, dry, and cold. (Then two more to allow terraforming tomb worlds or making gaia worlds)

[Mr.Person]

ah, alright. thanks for the help.
