Planetary Events and Effects

Current revision as of 04:24, 4 April 2023

Planets may experience occasional events that affect their stats or production. Events occur under the following conditions:

• Randomly - some planets will experience events randomly. Most of these effects are temporary, but some are permanent. The chances of a random effect occurring is increased if your Profession is a Governor.
• Invasion - a successful invasion may trigger a beneficial or negative event. These effects are always temporary.
• Colonization - colonizing a planet may trigger beneficial events. These effects are temporary.
• Artifact Inducement - using certain artifacts may allow you to trigger beneficial events on certain planets. Most of these effects are temporary, some are permanent.
• *NOTE FROM DEV EMAIL: IF YOU RESET YOUR ACCOUNT WHILE OWNING A PLANET THAT HAS ANY PERMANENT EFFECT OTHER THAN INVINCIBILITY, THOSE EFFECTS ON THE PLANET WILL BE LOST.

Permanent Events

Permanent Artifact-Induced Events

These events are induced by artifacts rewarded from mission or legion mission completions and the planet they occur on can be chosen by the player.

	Essence of the Arbilon	Production +4%, upgradeable to 7% Max

Permanent Invasion Events

These events have a chance of occurring when a planet is successfully invaded.

Permanent Random Events

These events have a chance to happen randomly each day when your upkeep is due or when you colonize a planet (or when you invade a planet while having a full set of 2 Dark Psycubes installed on your ship.

	Lush Biosphere	+200% population
	Reactive Barrier	Enemy Artifact/Ability Immunity

	Archotage Power Grid - only available during Harvest_(seasonal_event) each November - "Planetname reports that an Archotage Power Grid was being used on the planet by the Terran Outsiders!"	+1% to all production

Planetary Analysis

A new planet action called ‘Analyze’ is available for some planets. An indicator icon in the planet list will show which planets (if any) have something to analyze (can also use the right-most planet filter). Performing a successful analysis unlocks a beneficial effect that is permanent. Players will be notified automatically during random events when planets have something available to analyze. Planet Analysis can also be artifact-induced via a Reality Transfuser, but the Transfuser can NOT be used on a planet that already has an analyzable effect.

• Note: When gaining a Reactive barrier effect, the following message will be displayed "Planetary Analysis Success! The planet reports that a massive barrier emerged around the atmosphere, powered by the planet itself. The planet is now immune to all artifacts and abilities used by enemies."

Temporary Events

Enemy Blockades

When this occurs, a non-player enemy will arrive and surround the planet, producing a production loss. This negative effect will remain until the NPC is disabled, and there is no expiry timer for the NPC. The NPC can be targeted either via the Battle tab or via the planet itself (click on the npc image). These blockade NPCs *will* be removed with the use of a tactical remodulation if they have not already been alerted.

After the NPC has been disabled, make sure to return to the planet's production screen to remove the blockade effect to restore the planet's production. Invading an enemy planet with an entity blockade will cause the entity to flee without dropping anything for the invader. A forum topic has been created to gather information about which specific planet types can be blockaded.

Image	Name	Known to Blockade	Effect
	Akulan Entity	aphotic, barren, crystal, demon, desert, exotic, gas, icy, irradiated, oceanic, prismatic, toxic, volcanic	-60% to all production
	Allovore Entity	dyson, ecumenopolis, metallic	-60% to all production
	Chaotic ArcRift Entity	rift	-60% to all production
	Kulgox Entity	barren, chthonian, crystal, desert, exotic, gas, icy, metallic, oceanic, prismatic, toxic, volcanic	-60% to all production
	T.O. HyperSeeker	gaia, terra	-60% to all production
	Scruuge Hijacker*	crystal, desert, exotic, gaia, icy, irradiated, metallic, plasma, Prismatic, toxic	-60% to all production

• NOTE: Scruuge Hijackers only appear during the Scruuge seasonal event in December, but other than a 24-hour expiration timer, behave like the other blockading NPC entities.

Temporary Artifact-Induced Events

These events are induced by artifacts rewarded from daily mission completions and the planet they occur on can be chosen by the player. They last for two days.
