MOD: Question on planet condition change plant

[StarBaseSweeper]

Is it possible to use a negative value for the ability:

Ability 1 Type := Planet - Change Conditions
Ability 1 Descr := The condition of the planet is getting worse with time (1%).
Ability 1 Val 1 := -1
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0

It seems not, but I would be glad if someone could tell me we can...

It should work. Remember that conditions (and value) only change on the .1 date of each year.

[Ragnarok-X]

means it will effectivly only change each 10 turns.

So if I use the ability for a factory:

Ability 1 Type := Planet - Change Conditions
Ability 1 Descr := The condition of the planet is getting worse with time (100%).
Ability 1 Val 1 := -100
Ability 1 Val 2 := 0

The situation should get bad quite quickly isn't it?
One year should be enough?

[Fyron]

Sort of. It could take just one turn, if the faciltity is completed on a .0 month. The ability amount should be sufficient.

However after 1 full year with the facility, the condition is still optimal , so I am thinking it may be impossible to set negative value?
