Terraformer
The Terraformer reshapes a planet to add build slots and slightly improve extractor richness — a Realm 3 megaproject.
Mechanics
- Planet-only
- Each level adds +4 building slots on that planet
- Applies a modest richness bonus to mines (see in-game reference)
- High energy upkeep at upper levels — budget Elerium Reactor or Fusion Reactor capacity
Special capabilities
Planet slot expansion
- Alternative path to more slots alongside Planetary Engineering research
- Required progression step toward Ascension Gate (level 6 Terraformer)
Strategy
- Build on your main production world when you hit slot caps
- Start only after Engineering Lab level 20 requirement is planned — build time is enormous
- Coordinate with Warehouse and mine upgrades after slots land
Lore
Terraforming projects represent one of the most ambitious engineering efforts undertaken by galactic civilizations.
Over decades, these systems reshape planetary climates, stabilize tectonic activity, and expand usable terrain.
Entire continents have been reshaped by terraforming initiatives.
