Does anybody know how much water vapour we get into the atmosphere one the ice melts?
It should be the equalization pressure for the current total ATM and hydro extent.
From Steve's post:
Atmospheric Pressure * (Hydro Extent / 100) * 0.01 atm
Thanks, it does work, now I am trying to figure how much water evaporates once ice melts
it should be the resulting atm *20 - current hydrosphere based on the post, however all simulation I am running have somehow returned different figures.
We know that 0.5 atm of vapor = 20 hydro extent.
So the ratio of vapor atm to hydro is 1:40.
Multiply your equalization vapor atm by 40, and that should be how much hydro was turned into vapor.
Thanks, I still believe something is wrong . The general calc for temperature on surface (base*albedo*gh factor) does also return different values than the one that should be after terraforming a planet.
Post some specifics, if you can. I'll take a closer look.
without going too far, just start a new game and look at Earth, then we terraform Luna (it's perfect because all settings are standard and either 0 or 1) and look at Mars.
