Disaster
|
This article contains information relevant to both the C# and VB6 versions of Aurora.
Where differences exist, they are noted in the appropriate sections. |
The solar Disaster scenarios are optional rules, which can be toggled from the Game Details screen. Disaster are mainly used for RP purpose, an exodus scenario in which the player need to get out of his home-system before the inevitable end.
If disaster scenario is in play, such as the Sun gradually heating, then planetary environments in the affected system are updated. This means that eventually your planet will be outside of the habitable zone - the time this takes will vary based on how strong a disaster setting you use, but you will have several years before it gets really bad. You can invest resources to hold it off for a fair while, especially using terraforming, but it will eventually overwhelm that. Better start looking for other colonize-able worlds nearby and start building a hell of an ark.
Note, Disasters are for a purely player driven game, the NPRs do not take this setting into account.
