What do the narrative events in the colonization and dissolution war phases of planet generation do?

[Kylejack]

The individual narrative events in the colonization and collapses phases of planet generation have a big effect on how planets generate but their individual mechanical effects are opaque. For example, planets that generate with unusually large populations usually have events about farmers settling and farmers having high birthrates earlier in their history. Events about nuclear accidents or exchanges mean a lot of fallout on the map.

Most of the events are completely opaque though. Like 'a giant spaceship crashes into the planet' during the collapse phase, does that give more fallout, or does it indicate a spaceship special tile giving research? 'mega-mines exploding' etc.

Could we get a list of the events and what they do mechanically so we can tailor the planets we generate better?

Hello Kylejack,

You can take yourself a look in Debug mod at tables 70 and 73 named "Colony Major Events" and "Dissolution Major Events"
Here is a quick summary based on my interpretation:

Colonization Phase: Events in this phase seems to affect mainly :

• City Population:

• Mining Population:

• Agriculture Population:

Dissolution War Phase: Events here seems to impacting:

• Tech Loss: (?)

• Population Loss:

• Trade Loss: .

• War Increase: (?) (maybe more factions?)

• Radiation Levels:

Here is a partial extract of the two tables

This is great, thanks. I wonder what trade loss does. I bet tech loss lowers the frequency of archeological finds and maybe high tech special tiles
