Regarding Massive Meteor Strikes: Why is the planet losing...

Regarding Massive Meteor Strikes: Why is the planet losing clans even on the turns after the strike?

I received a lot of minerals, lost a decent amount of clans and happiness etc..., but shouldn`t it be a single turn event?

"happiness may be vastly decreased" ; http://help.planets.nu/report-meteor

Planet must be rioting.

Well, how low was the happiness after the event?
If it is low enough they kill each other in a civil war.

After the new happiness is computed, if the colonists are rioting (Happiness < 40), they will destroy 3 factories and 5 mines per turn; the same is true if they're fighting (Happiness < 20).
After the new happiness is computed, if the colonists are in a civil war (Happiness < 0), they will destroy an additional 8 factories and 10 mines per turn.
After the new happiness is computed, if the colonists are in a civil war, 30% of the population plus an additional 100 clans (both the natives and the colonists) are killed. Amorphous natives are not killed during civil wars.

> Planet must be rioting.

Rioting destroys mines and factories, but it doesn't decrease population. Only Civil War decreases population.

@Whisperer: Who said rioting decreases population?

So on turn event-1 I have 4589 clans on the rock with 91939 amorph clans. Both 100 happiness.

On the event happiness drops to 55/43. Needed to build 65 mines, 38 factories and 11 posts to go back to max buildings. Clans are now are 1462/41372. Funnily colonist clan preview states in red -49 for next turn.

Now on event+1 the preview states -43 for next turn. Clans at 1413/41372. Happiness 62/43.

No messages from planet, save for the Massive Meteor alert from the event turn. Happiness growing +7/+3 every turn. Amorphs got to be very angry, but that`s it. No buildings destroyed but for Massive Meteor.

Is it a bug or some feature with hungry worms after getting hit by a meteor? Planet temp is 24.

Amorphous natives are not killed during civil wars. If both the colonists and the natives are in a civil war, this population reduction is only done once.
If the happiness level is at 30 happiness points or less, any attempt at taxing the natives will produce no income. The tax rate will be reset to 0% in the early part of the next Host run -- before taxes are collected and happiness adjustments are made.

Oh, I always thought that Amorphs only eat 5 clans per turn. That is not true.

The number of colonist clans eaten is (95-native happiness) with a minimum of five clans.

Yeah, rocks + amorphous natives can be brutal.

I once had a planet on the wasp front where Horwasp natives reached -25 happiness. Eating 112 clans per turn - which, given the extent to which the Horwasp front is about clan attrition, is just brutal.

(It's the Ceti Alpha 5 sector in my history, Turn 104, p395.)
