How can I get rid of the Global Warming?

[xpfusion]

How can I eliminate Global Warming from Play The World? I do not want to eliminate pollution alltogether, because I still want pollution from factories and large cities. But I just want to stop terrain from changing due to global warming. There is an option in the editor that says "Pollution Effect", that can be set to NONE for each terrain type. Will this eliminate global warming? In the help topics pollution effect is explained like this: "Selects the terrain type (if any) that a tile of the selected terrain type will become if pollution stays on that tile for an extended length of time. For example, grassland would become plains, and plains would become desert."

This does not seem to be eliminating global warming. Does anyone have experience with this?

hi ,

in the editor , look at the terrain , change the pollution effect from basic terrain to the terrain you are viewing , do this for each type of terrain and you are save , ...

have a nice day

Thanks for your reply. I'm just wondering why it says in help: "Selects the terrain type (if any) that a tile of the selected terrain type will become if pollution stays on that tile for an extended length of time". Seems like it only stops terrain from changing when pollution is on that very tile, while global warming causes random tiles to change based on the number of polluted squares on the map. Are you sure global warming too will be eliminated if I set the values in pollution effect to the same terrain types I am viewing?

hi ,

yes you shall stop global warming , because the terrain change is the same , instead of the default global warming type ( dessert ) , ....

you shall still have "regular" pollution , that by the way seems to effect terrain aswell , just leave it a long period of time , ..... but if you do the above change it does not affect the terrain , ...

have a nice day

xpfusion,

Yes making those editor changes will stop global warming. You will still the message "terrain changed due to global warming" but sun will not grow larger and terrain will not change.

How about just setting the pollution effect values to NONE?

He said he wanted pollution to be in the game, just no global warming.

yes it was me who said it, but if pollution effect is set to none, then there would still be pollution, right? just no effect to the terrain?

hi ,

if you mean with "effect" terrain that becomes dessert , the answer is yes

and its great to play like this , just watch out where you use those nukes , they still make mountains into plains

have a nice day

Maybe you could have the pollution change desert to Flood Plain?

hi ,

no , "floodplain" is desert with a river running true it , ..... so that shall only help if pollution strikes near grassland or plains and make them desert , the desert is also the default setting , .....

but you can set it to plains or grassland , .....

or any other of the options you want , ....

have a nice day

Changing it to grassland would be pretty cool. But it would sure mess with people's heads. And if Global Warming turned desert into plains or grassland, would you even do anything about it?
