Aphotic planets are research first, artifact second and mining third. It seems odd to get mining effects on this kind of planet. Much like it would be odd to get the undersea archives on a desert or volcanic planet. Is this intentional?

They're random, so it's not "wrong". Just bad luck with the RNG.

They're biased. Very heavily so, Dex. As in some events simply do not occur on certain planet types.

No they are not. There are many thing that doesn't happen on certain planet types. You don't get a research buff on a mining planet and you don't get a mining buff on a gas giant.

I never said that all planet get all effects. Aphotic planets have multiple effects, it's just bad luck that you got the mining one.

Yawn, you are tiring.

Yes, all planets have multiple effects. Some effects aren't on some planets. I'm saying this effect shouldn't be on this planet. Is that really that hard to get?

I'm not asking you to agree, I'm not asking you to disagree. I'm waiting for Dan to say whoops or working as intended.

Umm, sorry?

I got lost undersea archives on a plasma once, not that I am complaining.

my impression is that as long as the planet CAN produce the resource associated with an effect, even if only very sparse, that those effects can show up on the planet.

so, the basic gas planet only has research, so you can only get these 2 effects:

Unique Lifeforms +10% research production
Lost Undersea Archive +30% research production

however, if you happen to use the Mylarai ability on the planet, you now have the chance of getting these 2 effects as well:

Pure Deposits +10% mining production
Ultra-Pure Deposits +20% mining production

using the Talth ability, would then allow the last effect as well:

Ancient Relics +10% artifact production

There is no bug here, it's working as "intended".
If you feel that certain effect should be removed from certain type of planets, that would be a SUGGESTION, please file it in the proper sub forum.

To the best of my knowledge, planet effect is strictly limited by planet type (i.e. is it a toxic, terra, etc) and have nothing to do with the production it contains.

In this case, though, planet type = production, as all Aphotic planets have the same resources abundances (at least to begin with).

I could be wrong, but I'm gonna guess that a planetry effect of a specific production is possible if that planet type CAN have average or higher production of that type naturally(meaning without any uplift)
Following that, yes aphotic would be possible to have all types.

x15 RP crystle gets AP+10% ruins i think it is...or relics.


X3 AP next day gets life forms.

I haven't gotten a effect in like a week...
