Terraforming Sol and Basic Terraforming calculations

[Erik L]

The wiki is painfully lacking on many topics, and outdated on some. The entire thing needs to be overhauled/nuked and redone.

Everyone is welcome to add to the wiki. Some pages are protected and require 5 edits and 4 days account age. If you add/change a link on the main page, include the version you are writing to.

One idea would be to maintain the current wiki, and segment off the pre-5.0 pages and the post-5.0 pages.

[Father Tim]

This should be in the wiki.

The entire purpose of a wiki is so that people who think something should be in it can add it themselves.

[Caesar (OP)]

This should be in the wiki.

I would gladly allow anybody to put it into the wiki. I have neither rights nor time to do it myself currently, but I think that if it'd help new (older?) players, it should be in there.

well, I've been busy making a program to calculate this for me, I have it working, not complete yet but if you want me to release it when it is I can, C# and I'd release the source code along with it

Your calculations worked well for me as Mercury is now the prime luxury destination for our extreme sunbathers. Venus is underway but will take a much longer time.

Happy to be of service.

Sounds Spiffy 

Much better than me setting up a spreadsheet (or writing one using VS2008), or just doing it 'manually'

[UnLimiTeD]

Looks nice.
Maybe we can now get a calculation about at what point Orbital Habs or Infrastructure are a cheaper way of placing a 100m Population on a Planet?^^

Actually a programm would be neat if you could extract the System-data out of aurora on the fly, for every system you know. Also non-standard-Human races could be considered at this point if the calculations are known.

Like the Clipboard button? Or are you looking for something else?

[Mel Vixen]

Well i would prefer something that wouldnt need any active interaction other then starting the tool and maybe selecting the right species.

Is there some kind of reference about all the gases? Like which ones have an effect on temperature (and how much) beyond the generic safe greenhouse/anti-greenhouse, and any way to know which ones are toxic/posonous to your race?

[Garfunkel]

The system survey window (F9) tells you if a planet has toxic gasses.

Other than that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gasses
explains which gasses have an greenhouse effect and which are neutral.
