Hi there.
I've had a small idea for planet events for specific planet types such as volcanic worlds, for example:

"Planet Name reports that a major volcanic eruption has occurred on the planet, increasing attack and defense by 10% but reducing production by 5%"

Please feel free to give feedback

This is in the game. Not this specific event but random events happen with buffs/debuffs.

i think he was specifically suggesting this particular event, judging by the uniqueness of the modifier combination

He was suggesting events that happen only to specific types of planets, such as eruptions on Volcanics, floods on Oceanics, glacial drift on Icy planets, etc.

ohhhhhhhhhhh doh! gotca.

Yeah, with eruptions maybe now we can all want Volcanics even less ; P

A planet-specific event like this would only be temp.

........ and a flow of magma may reveal mineral deposits ! ........

i wouldnt mind reduced production temporarily if the magma flows gave a permanent +1 mining boost to the planet.
