Chthonian Exchanger
Legion Mission Reward Artifact
Transforms an unoccupied Gas planet into a Chthonian world, decreasing its size by 2, and dividing the research production equally between artifact and mining.
Available from: Carthyne Symposium legion mission, Task 1: Research Hydrodynamic Escape
Artifact Type: Planet
Set Duration: Permanent
Cost in Energy to Use: ?
Artifact Effects:
Planet size -2 (e.g. Massive -> Large) Artifact and Mining: 0 + 50% each of former Gas planet's Research production Research: 0 Change in planet type from Gas to Chthonic
Alternate Uses: None
Scraps for: 25,000 - 100,000 CR

- Notes: When used, the new Chthonian planet's resource production is zeroed before the research richness of the original gas planet is apportioned. Any research richness beyond 18x will be disregarded. Hence, the maximum richness, from the use of this artifact, is 3x for artifact and mining on the Chthonian planet.
Example:
A massive Gas planet with Research = Mega Rich (value of N = 12) will become a Large planet with Artifact and Mining both = Very Abundant (value of N = 6).
Reasonable use (no limited artis): VM gas with Research = 14x mega.rich (optimizers) - will become a VL 1x arti / mining Chthonian.
Best use: VM gas with Research = 16x mega.rich (optimizers to 15x .. lepus kernel to 16x) - will become a VL 2x arti / mining Chthonian.
OCD use: VM gas with Research = 18x mega.rich (optimizers to 15x .. lepus kernel to 17x .. trellith to 18x) - will become a VL 3x arti / mining Chthonian.
