Creation Points

STARTING POINTS A planet receives a pool of creation points, made of (Relevance * 5) + (Size * 5). A larger planet has then more creation points but relevant elements will also be spread in many more sectors. For a first planet, Relevance and Size are random but their sum is equal to 10. This means that starting points of a first planet is always of 200 points.

BONUS POINTS

Your planet receives bonus points for temperature, comfort, light and danger levels. A planet receives "temperature" bonus points if it has a temperature level further from the average of 5.

We calculate a "temperature challenge", or Tc, according to the absolute value of (5 - temperature level). Exact formula is bonus = (Tc - 2) * 20. A planet with a temperature level of 5, will have -40 points. A planet with a temperature level of 4 or 6, will have -20 points. A planet with a temperature level of 3 or 7, will have +0 point. A planet with a temperature level of 2 or 8, will have +20 points. A planet with a temperature level of 1 or 9, will have +40 points. A planet with the extreme temperature level of 0 or 10, will have +60 points.
