Hello dear Community,

I don't understand how the Advanced Climate Engineering Module for the Behemoth is working. The tooltip states that one module removes two Depletion Points. I have a Behemoth with four modules and a multiplier of two. This should give me 16 (2/module x 4 modules x 2) Depletion Points removal, correct? If I have planet with five Cravers they add five Depletion Points per turn. Thus, the net effect should be  +5 -16 = -11 Depletion Points and the planet should slowly recover. However, this does not seem to be the case, see screenshots (in German, so Raubbaupunkte = Depletion Points)

On Turn 103 planet Heze I has 156/180 Depletion Points and 5 Cravers. The Behemoth is in orbit of the Heze system: 

On Turn 104 planet Heze I has 157/180 Depletion Points?! I was excepting 145 (= 156 - 11) or 161 (= 156 + 5) if the modules were not working at all. 

So, how does the Advanced Climate Engineering Module actually work? What am I missing? Thank you for your help!

If I remember correctly, "Depletion points cancelled" stat from several modules does not stack, but slot multiplier does. So you have base 2 multiplied by 2. If restoration is everything you want from said Behemoth, you can exchange other 3 modules, since they won't increase cancellation further. If you also want to have Terraformation, Restoration and Anomaly reduction boost, then leave them be.

Thanks for the info. But if "depletion points cancelled" does not stack, it would be good if there were an in-game info, like "(does not stack)".

But the mechanics around this is still weird. I have a planet that is "Depleted" with three Cravers on it. The turn after I move my Behemoth with the Advanced Climate Engineering Module(s) into the system, the Depletion Points jump to 95/100!? At least, the Cravers get their 150% FIDS bonus. The turn after that, they are at 98/100. Then I move the Behemoth to another system and the planet drops back to Depleted the next turn?! See screenshots at Turns 130, 131 and 132:
