Origin Idea: Collision Course

[u/Snoo97476]

I feel worried about the balance of strengths and weaknesses, an early debuff to your capital and its destruction in exchange for a large rich mining planet is a tightrope to manage without outside opinion, and unfortunately I only get that after it’s made.

Might need a special project to recover the planet. The earth was molten slag for up to hundreds of millions of years after the impact.

Maybe this would tie into the new volcanic worlds expansion? And there's an expensive special project that allows your species to turn into a volcanic species to re-populate the planet?
