They can be, but no one uses them for that. It is a suggestion...where else would it go?

It sounds like an issue more but low lvs do if they saw a vlarge 3x arti and it had extremely spare research they would use it as research

Every time I get one of these effects on one of my terras it is such a disappointment. It increase my research 1-3 points for a week. No one uses terras for research. I understand why they would occur, but I rather have nothing then have my hopes dashed when they appear on a terra.

What's the problem it's better than nothing right, it's not affecting you in a negative way.

I rather have nothing. 1-3 research points for a week is not helpful and with them removed I think I would have a better chance at something that would be useful like ancient relics or trade hub or a mythical blockade.

Quite a few ppl use plasma for artifacts, i'd think those planets would still give res event instead of arti

what player use a planet for is irrelevant, as long as the planet can have a natural resource in a specific category, event of that category is justified.

thats because you can make them colossal

The difference between plasmas and terras is that terras naturally have artifact as a higher resource then research a vast majority of the time and plasmas you have to use abilities and/or artifacts just to make them have artifact resource and more to make it the highest resource.

mysterion mentioned that terras could be naturally research main.
Until this is proven to be false one way or another, the only conclusion that could be drawn from that difference is that terra can have BOTH res and arti event while gas/plasma ONLY res. It does not aid in the argument for the removal of res event from terra.

From the fundamental logic of event types, player usage of planet type was never a factor, only the possible natural (or natural-transformed) resource types are taken into consideration. I specifically mentioned plasma for this reason, to show that player usage have no bearing on the fact.

make no mistake, research event on terra will not help me any and I'd much more prefer artis. But I believe games should follow a logical construct over the desires and greed of the players. It makes perfect sense for a terra planet to have undersea archive and unique lifeforms(more so than gas/plasma tbh), so they should stay
