I feel like for a colony it just has too many city lights. I mean harvest was colonized early on and the whole planet wasn't colonized with giant settlements.

Yeah Harvest only had a population of around 330,000 or something.

I'm pretty sure the vanilla Sins justification for all the lights is that all the worlds are already heavily populated and you're just establishing control over them. That's why every planet is able to afford a defending militia fleet.

Amusingly, I saw a discussion on the Aurora forums about this exact terraforming effect a week or two ago.

I came here expecting Elsa and some sort of musical. I'm extremely disappointed.

Description

As the amount of solar energy absorbed by the planet's atmosphere decreases, the amount of frozen water increases. The more ice there is on the surface of a planet, the more solar energy is reflected back into space thus, further decreasing the energy trapped in the atmosphere. This cycle figuratively and literally snowballs until and planet's surface is saturated in permafrost.
