This option controls the maximum number of colonists and growth rate of colonists for Crystalline planets when the CrystalsPreferDeserts option is enabled. Without CrystalSinTempBehavior enabled, colonist growth is linear in temperature, as is the maximum number of colonists. With this option enabled, both growth and maximum number of colonists follows a sinusoidal curve with the peak occurring at a temperature of 100. However, there is no growth below temperatures of 15 degrees and the maximum number of colonists below this temperature is limited to the same number of colonists as other races. This option gives a slight boost to the Crystals since it allows more colonists to thrive and provides for quicker growth (on non-arctic planets) than for the linear model.
► Note: Although, since PHost 3.3c, Siliconoid natives are affected by the CrystalsPreferDeserts option, they are not affected by this option. Growth is always linear for Siliconoids.
