This is a minor issue.

The description of the Orbital Farming technology says, “Increases target farming on all planets by 2, regardless of focus and environment.”

I agree that ‘all’ planets should benefit from this technology, as Orbital Farming would be totally independent of a planet’s environment, including its rotation.

The description of Very Slow Rotation planets says, “Resource supply length from this planet is decreased by 1, and target farming is reduced by 10.”

Now, as Orbital Farming would be totally independent of a planet’s rotation, it seems to me that the target farming on a ‘Very Slow Rotation’ planet should be increased by 2 outright and not subject to the overall target farming reduction by 10. That is, conventional surface crops on a ‘Very Slow Rotation’ planet would remain subject to the target farming reduction by 10, but Orbital Farming crops would be exempted.

Feel free to post a revised content file that implements this change.

How about these? (I know I wasn't the one you were talking to, but this seemed like an interesting idea so I decided to try it.)

I added this to the slow rotation special:

And I added something to the description for slow orbit saying that the penalty was mitigated by Orbital Farming.

Before I / we take a look, could you explicitly state that you release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GNU GPL (see Licenses).

I'm not sure why orbital farms would undo the malus to "construction", but on the other hand, i'm not sure why slow rotation gives that malus in the first place.

OK, I release them under GPL 2 and CC-BY-SA-3.


Whoops, I guess I should have realized the activation condition would change both . I could replace it with this:

In other words, splitting them up so that only the farming will be affected.
As for construction changing at all, I suppose it's because the weather a slow spin would cause (very cold nights, very hot days) would make building up a planet more difficult.

Have you tested it?
There's an error in that bit of script, but i don't see what it is.

Oh right, it should just be:

I tested it out this new version and nothing crashed, so I think it works.

OK, thanks,
it's in revision 4418.
