Then it turns out that your colonists are addicted to the flowers and are less likely to migrate to other worlds. What follows is a long event chain in which your colonists' productivity begins to suffer, lowering mineral output until you send a science team to work out more efficient flower-sniffing schedules. You can spend some energy credits to stamp it out, or shrug and let your colonists enjoy a happiness bonus. One possible planet event is the discovery that the pollen of an obscure species of native flower gives a mild high when smelled.This view is confined to the scientific fringe, as it is unlikely that any race intelligent enough to achieve full industrialization would be stupid enough to accidentally wipe themselves out. Some of the more radical elements within the scientific community on suggest that the dramatic climate shift may have been brought on by the unchecked emission of gaseous industrial by-product into the atmosphere. Another report is that one world being examined is "extraordinarily uninteresting." There are only minor changes in elevation, the native plant and animal life is docile, it's a planet with no real defining characteristics whatsoever.Īn unnatural shift in the atmosphere's chemical make-up resulted in the slow but irreversible onset of an ice age the exact cause remains unknown, but probable explanations include failed terraforming attempts or even inter-planetary terrorism.One anomaly failure message tells you that there was an unidentified object in orbit around a planet, but your science vessel flew a little too close to examine it, and crunch.You can find an abandoned spaceship in orbit around a planet, containing nothing but the body of "a long-eared, amphibian biped who appears to have been stabbed repeatedly.".(This was eventually patched by having every empire's home system already surveyed at the game start, though it can still pop up if you're surveying a primitive or post-apocalyptic Sol system.) Especially hilarious if the gas giant in question is Jupiter or Saturn. Another anomaly is an abnormally small gas giant that turns out to be a regular planet with an unusually thick atmosphere, an oversight that proves "quite embarrassing" to the astronomers on your homeworld. Alternatively, if you're a Machine Empire: "My circuits hurt".> Why? Why?! WHY?! (Embrace the futility of life's questions. The only plus side to this is that we had tons of time to spend on philosophical and economical questions, when we could not stomach to keep investigating that damned thing. Maybe we are all crazy? Maybe it does not even exist? Guess what? We tried calculating around those facts as well. We have tried everything in order to find out how the ceramic pot ended up in a stellar orbit.
