Cloning planets? |
If your planet construction ship has more than one order to create a planet at a location then it will create multiple planets. All of the planets made will be the same size, have the same resources, but be a random atmosphere and type.
This also works with destroying planets too, but you'll just get asteroid fields.
I discovered this bug when trying to issue additional orders to my construction fleet of ships and discovered they were all put on hold untill the current planet was finished being built and then were all being carried out at same time.
You can also put your ship on sentry, tell it to construct as many planets you wish, say 9, then remove the sentry order and tell it to build at the location again and you'll get 10 planets in the same hex.
With this exploit you can make as many planets as you want out of a single asteroid field.
you can imagine how powerfull this exploit is when I tell you I found an asteroid field with 227% minerals, 157% organics and 178% radioactives on Huge planets, then started building hoards of monilith facilities on 5 seperate worlds mind you.
