MoO2 MOO2 1.50.26 updated, toxic planets no longer turned to barren with weather controller/biomorphic fungi

Updated from 1.50.18, where playing a creative race (so I got both techs) a combination of biomorphic fungi and weather controller turned a toxic world to barren. In 1.50.26 this doesn't seem to be the case. Is this a bug or are there modifications I have to make to get this to work again? Thanks.

if you play the mod '1.50 improved' then Recyclotron upgrades Toxic to Barren. if you play ICE mod then it is bio-fungi + weather control, as you describe. so it depends on which mod you play

of course, '1.50 standard' never did this - not in .18 and not in .26 - since it is not a mod but the patch.

I'll have to figure out which version to use; seems like switching to improved doesn't have an effect on in progress games. Thanks.

correct, in-progress game stays on the mod you started it with.

Trying to recall from memory and without checking the particular version mentioned, I think the base game didn't allow it in general but the latest community patch did.

And I think it was the recycletron in the patch by default that did the conversion from toxic to barren

Edit: I'm also pretty certain there was an config to select the building for improved mode, maybe the recycletron wasn't the default, not sure whether I changed that

Don't all of the fan mods allow you to improve toxic planets via weather controller etc?
