Planet Types?

With the Wiki not yet being contributed to is there anywhere else I can find out what the planet types actually contribute, i.e., if I attach a mountain planet to my Terrian Home world how would it effect my food output and other outputs?

Speaking of Wiki, documentation is always the last thing to get done before production go live, but is there a work in progress wiki or manual we can start looking at in Beta?

If not, can we get an estimated date when one will be available? Galciv III has a 334 page manual so if Gal Civ IV will have a manual then something must already be in the works?

Yes. and if the approach is to move away from a formal manual and documentation to tool-tip help then it needs to be fully robust and give all the information that a user guide/manual would give but also somewhat concisely. A supporting wiki page is also extremely helpful to delve more deeply when time permits.

I agree that tooltips (or some sort of in-game reference) would be nice for these types of things.

Mountainous worlds generally produce wealth and manufacturing, and little food.

Volcanic worlds are rich in manufacturing, and generally have wealth and possibly some research and little food.

Bombarded planets have research, and some manufacturing.

Terran planets are balanced.

Arboreal planets have lots of food.

Paradise planets have lots of everything, and Influence (!!!)

Precursor worlds tend to have lots of influence, in addition to their bonus.

It is really pretty common sense, for the most part.
