Class 57 Planet???

from Stardock Forums
I was playing a large Universe / Painful game today when I ran across a class 57 planet! Never seen one quite that high before. Im not sure how it got that way - I didnt notice any strange Precursor / artifact events that would have bumped it up. One of the alien races had colonized and improved it by the time I got around to invading - so Im not sure what it started out life as.

Anyone else ever run into something like that? What's the point since planets can only have 100 billion population???

Be careful with that game. It may submit as anomalyous because of that high score PQ. I don't know how that could happen w/o a Precursor, or with the PQ bonuses on Maso. But again, anomaylous warning.

It could have started out with a high PQ then the race that inhabited it could have uncovered a precursor device before you met them. + Soil Enhancement + Habitat Improvement + Terraforming = ??? The highest PQ I've ever had was 44. ;)

It's possible to get a class 26 up to 58, I think, without the Precursor Terraformer event, but it requires that you get every terriforming option available, including the +7% PQ pick (+5% works if you use a political party mod with +PQ), and get the Life Force Artifact colonization event for the max +50%.

If you use all the currently available terraforming mods, get both the Artifact and Terraformer events, play the one library political party mod with +PQ, and use the few tech mods with +PQ techs you can get to class 90-some from a class 26. And that's assuming without Abandoned Terraformer anomoly mod, which can get PQ up to any arbitrary number (limit of either 65535, 4.2G, or half of each of those) over time.

In regular game I have seen PQ over 60. In games with MODS, I have seen as high as PQ 120. All submitted fine.

I saw a game once where the Yor got the same event twice and when I took over the planet it was like PQ75.
