Eye of Madagon

From PlanetsWiki

[edit] Overview

This device is found on the Robot Instrumentality and will inspire fear in any races nearby. This is because food is one of the most valuable resources and it is destroyed by this long range weapon of terror. The device operates by sending out nanites through subspace to seek out and destroy all large sources of food. Their programming isn't perfect though and will mistake Amorphous Worms for large sources of food; killing them in the process. The Robots found this flaw to be acceptable and did not correct it. Chupanoids can sense the presence of the Eye of Madagon when it is close enough, which makes them extremely happy, as they hate food as well.

[edit] Details

Causes all Chupanoids on planets and in bases within a radius of 10ly to have 300% happiness and join the base.
Kills Amorphous Worms in bases out to a range of 250ly.
- 50% of the total number of worms in the base are killed.
Destroys food out to a range of 250ly. Food in bases, ships and resupply pods are all in danger of being destroyed. Some of the food is converted into fuel, Ordnance, and Megacredits which are transported back to the ship using the Eye.
- Destroys a maximum of 350 or 30% (whichever is lower) of the total food in bases.
- Destroys a maximum of 250 or 30% (whichever is lower) of the total food in ships.
- When there is over 1000 kt of food remaining in a base after the Eye destroyed food, then the nanites were successful at sending 50 kt of fuel, 200 kt of ordnance, and 100 mc back to the ship.
- When there is over 5000 Amorphous Worms remaining in a base after the Eye killed worms, then the nanites were successful at sending 75 kt of fuel and 220 kt of ordnance back to the ship.
- When there is over 1000 kt of food remaining in a ship after the Eye destroyed food, then the nanites were successful at sending 50 kt of fuel and 200 kt of ordnance back to the ship.
- The Eye will only affect resupply pods with over 100 kt of food in them. When the Eye destroys food in a resupply pod, it will send 25 kt of fuel, 100 kt of ordnance, and 100 mc back to the ship. All food in the pod is destroyed in the process.
- If a resupply pod had over 500 kt of food in it then an additional 75 kt of fuel, 200 kt of ordnance, and 100 mc are sent back to the ship.
- There is nothing sent back to the ship when it destroys food on planets.
Any race that owns this ship can use this device.

[edit] Limitations

10% or more control system damage will disable the device.
It will not work on bases with an active Base Shield when over 80 ly away from the base. This distance is configurable using HConfig.
- Solorian bases with 10 million+ colonists are not included in this.
- When the Omega Pulse is active, all Base Shields are inactive, which allows for the Eye to penetrate bases out to its maximum range.
The Eye will not affect your own ships or bases. It will affect your own resupply pods.
The Eye does not pay attention to Attack settings for other races. It will only restrict its effects on those outlined above.
The Eye does not affect Native Pods or Amorphous Worms on planets.

[edit] Notes

It destroys the food in your own Resupply Pods if the Food-Pod is still in orbit and within range at the end of the turn. Hint: Can be used to "resupply" your Instru-Strike-Fleet, if far away from "home".
