Title: Geological Survey Team
Post by: TMaekler on February 11, 2016, 03:16:24 PM

Hello out there,

a question concerning the Geological Survey of a Planet. When I am creating a new system in SpaceMasterMode and see the initial values of the system minerals are those the values I can detect from orbital survey and when I later send the GeoSurveyTeam those values will be "corrected", or are those the final values a Geological Survey Team can find and beforehand the orbital survey willl find less?

I believe that mineral generation routine runs as part of each system creation. Once orbital survey is conducted it sets the planet surveyed flag, which makes that info visible to us. While the GeoSurveyTeam runs the same mineral generation routine from before only at lower probability, if it rolls better quantity, availability or find new deposit those values will be used to adjust the old ones.
