Planet attributes

[likho1eye]

Other than combat environment effects, what are all all those attributes? Like

Agriculture
Medium gravity
Rich
Chemicals

etc.

Odd that for the amount of tooltips this game has, there is no description anywhere I can see what those mean.

They affect shops and random events during orbit, some do nothing as far as I know.

in that case chemicals will have missiles, flamers and inferno racks in the shop.

[likho1eye]

is there a list somewhere with descriptions for each?

[Rez Elwin]

It's not all of them but I found a list on reddit thay had some. Just search for "battletech planet tags" and look at the reddit result, I'd link it if I wasn't on my phone atm.

agriculture i believe affects the maps generated so theres a higher chance a battle takes place in more farms-cape.

medium gravity is average no particular note, low/high gravity might affect movement but not too sure.

rich means higher chances of rare components because the local economy can support such trans actions. things like manufacturing for example means more components available to buy.

chemicals i think is more a map modifier than store, i believe maps with more radioactive and chemical wastelands are more common there.

all in all, the modifiers should either affect battlefields or stores or both in some way.

Pirate presence, black market, and star league are what to look for most when you have money to spend on gear purchases.

On the far right next to the Store Filter is and "i" in a circle. If you select a filter and hover over that "i" it will tell you what it gives you. In short it says this;

Battlefield - Gyros and Arm/Leg Actuators
Chemicals - Missiles and Flamers
Electronics - Lasers and Targeting Systems
Industrial - Cockpit Mods, Heat Banks, Thermal Exchangers and MGs
Mining - Autocannons
Research - PPCs, ECM, COIL, Narc and TAG
Star League - LosTech

No, there's no gravity effects.

But yeah, as mentioned, the various tags mostly affect the RNG for missions & stores. It's varied over the years, as they changed how stores were generated.
