I've noticed that there are only two events happening when yo colonize a new world.

I'd thought  I'd expand on this so here is an additional event:

However the planet is just entering a period of increased geologic activity, which means that in a few short years the atmosphere will be polluted by volcanic gasses and the biosphere will begin to die. Upon further consideration the crew has come up with a few options. What would you like them to do?</String>
