Chthonian Exchanger

Legion Mission Reward Artifact

Transforms an unoccupied Gas planet into a Chthonian world, decreasing its size by 2, and dividing the research production equally between artifact and mining.

• Notes: When used, the new Chthonian planet's resource production is zeroed before the research richness of the original gas planet is apportioned. Any research richness beyond 18x will be disregarded. Hence, the maximum richness, from the use of this artifact, is 3x for artifact and mining on the Chthonian planet.

Example:
A massive Gas planet with Research = Mega Rich (value of N = 12) will become a Large planet with Artifact and Mining both = Very Abundant (value of N = 6).

Reasonable use (no limited artis): VM gas with Research = 14x mega.rich (optimizers) - will become a VL 1x arti / mining Chthonian.

Best use: VM gas with Research = 16x mega.rich (optimizers to 15x .. lepus kernel to 16x) - will become a VL 2x arti / mining Chthonian.

OCD use: VM gas with Research = 18x mega.rich (optimizers to 15x .. lepus kernel to 17x .. trellith to 18x) - will become a VL 3x arti / mining Chthonian.
