gas_change_multiplier = 100.0 # (100.0)a variable modifying how much a given gas emmision changes atmospheric gas pressure. It divides with the ton_per_pa_here, so a higher number means faster atmosphere change with less emission
mineral_deposit_size_multiplier = 100.0 # (100.0) a variable modifying how much a given mining intensity modifies mineral reserves. It is divided by the calculated deposit reduction, so a higher number means more deposits and slower reduction
