Planet Specializations

[Kethevin]

I think I understand this but I'm not sure. I assume it gears a planet for a specific thing right?

Does it affect the rest of the system? Will it then choose the buildings built? What's the pro/con really?

Thanks. :-)

It's basically just another improvement, but only effects that planet instead of the entire system. There's nothing special about them, they don't change the system at all or determine what you can build, you can swap specializations whenever you want.

they are just a way to customize the output of your planets a little bit.

they do not lock/unlock any buildings. there are no cons (other then the build time and maintenance cost if they even have that)

you can pretty much choose what you want with them:
-optimize overall output by using science on cold, industry on hot, etc
-get as much of 1 type as you can, i often do this for food with new systems.
-it's nice for emergencies for example if you have a dust or influence deficit.

ye its just to compensate a bit for the random system generation. sometimes you get really unlucky with like all cold planets and no production or food whatsoever.. With this you can still have them generate a bit of food or production.

P.S. the food 1 is way to high up the tech tree to be usefull.
