Hab value changing

Hi!
In a recent testbed I sent a colonizer to a small green planet my scout visited 5 turns ago. I was really surprized when in the next turn the new colony there was on a small RED planet. I reloaded the turn from backup and genned again - with the same result. All min conc's were the same (so no comet strike), just one hab value was shifted by about 10 clicks, but I don't remember seing any notice of hab change in previous turns. Actually I don't remember seing the hab change on any uninhabited planet. Shocked

Anybody got the same experience?
BR, Iztok

Wondering if maybe you landed on the wrong planet.... Shocked

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.

I know that sometimes when I've occupied a planet I've gotten a message along the lines of "Fundamental changes in the planet <planet name>'s atmosphere have permanently altered the planet's <hab variable>. All planetary production has been canceled.". I don't remember the exact wording because it's been a while since I got such a message, but anyways I think it's just another random event. I didn't know it also happened to uninhabited planets too, though. Interesting.

Yes.
There's a couple of threads on Google that seem to suggest that these "fundamental changes" can take place on all planets.
I suppose that it usually wouldn't be spotted at uninhabited planets.

Did the planet get hit by PP scouting packets?

It was a testbed - presumably he was alone in the universe.

This has happened to me and I attributed it to my questionable sanity...

Yep, alone in the dark. Wink

Looks like fundamental changes can also occur on uninhabited planets. Having immediate info on that gives a smal bonus to races with pen-scanners.
