Terraform	comment	A Speculative Fiction staple, the act of turning an otherwise human-unfriendly environment into an Earth-like, or "Terra-formed" planet. Narratively, this is done to give the cast a place to go outside the ship (off Earth) that won't require them dressing in Space Clothes constantly. Within a given setting, it's often done to showcase humanity's drive to explore and colonize new places for the famed trifecta of God, Gold, and Glory. (Hey, at least one setting actively proselytizes, at gunpoint!) Often used to explain why All Planets Are Earth-Like. Terraforming itself is an actual area of study right now, as scientists try to design methods to create both self-contained environments (Bio-Domes being famous examples) and species that can survive in a hostile environment and improve it until it has a self-sustaining biosphere that can sustain humans. Easier said than done. Literally, because soft sci-fi settings tend to sneeze out terraforming efforts and planets like Martians with a cold. According to the NASA, terraforming Mars is simply not possible with our current technology (see press release here). Harder sci-fi settings can construct entire books about the sciences and engineering involved, not to mention the political and social effort these huge undertakings would entail. Often applied to the Colonized Solar System. As seen in the trope picture, Mars is likely to be a popular target for any terraforming operation in both fiction and reality. It has one of the shortest travel distances (second only to Venus), and is solid. Venus is also a popular candidate in fiction, being almost completely similar to Earth in terms of size and gravity, but it's second to Mars because warming something up is a lot easier than cooling it downnote And there'd be a lot of cooling to do; Venus has a surface temperature of a whopping 462Â°C (864Â°F), over 100Â°C hotter than the melting point of lead. And even if it had an identical atmosphere to Earth, it would still average 73Â°C (163Â°F) due to its greater proximity to the Sun., and unlike Mars, Venus's slow rotation would have to be dealt with. Sometimes though, the planet is only harsh to humans, not other forms of life. The planet is plenty alive... too alive, with man-eating plants, semi- to hyper-evolved sentients, and scores of other dangers. A few old sci-fi serials and pulps would have their heroes' effort designed to create a "domestication" of savage planets, much like The American West was "tamed" with all the attendant heartache and extinctions. More recently, however, some shows turn this around by showcasing how terraforming an already-living world can be ecologically disastrous, or ethically questionable, or even weaponized; or just plain pisses off the near omnipotent residents. Some works even turn the concept inside-out, showing how aliens arrive on Earth and mess the ecology up so badly that the planet becomes barely if at all habitable for humans (with similarities to Global Warming) in a process called xenoforming. When either of these variations happen, it's Hostile Terraforming, sometimes termed un-terraforming. NOTE: Examples where an environment is terraformed/xenoformed in a way which negatively impacts the original inhabitants go on the Hostile Terraforming page: please list all appropriate examples on there instead of this page. Compare the Genesis Effect, for when an entire planet is actually created instead of just made livable.

Terraform / int_135edfc8	comment	Terraforming Mars makes each player a corporation or other entity tasked with building up Mars's atmosphere, surface temperature, and ocean coverage to increase their "Terraformer Rating", and thus their final score. Other factors necessary for human life can also increase the TR on a case-by-case basis, such as ringing the planet with superconducting wires to give Mars a magnetic field. The creators have also Shown Their Work by making the endgame parameters the same as in Real Life (9% ocean coverage, 8 C temperature, and 14% oxygen).

The native ecosystem survives on a couple of still-working, but unoccupied, space habitats near the planet. One of the conflicts in the game's politics is: do we terraform the planet into a new Earth, rebuild its own ecosystem by transplanting from the colonies, leave it a barren desert and mine it for technology, or abandon it and go home?

Terraform / int_19350db9	comment	Master of Orion: In the first two games, terraforming goes on for much of the game. Together with the tech for planetary gravity generators, radiation shields, enriching biospheres and installing biospheres, it's possible to transform an empire into a verdant garden where previously inhospitable planets have between three and fifteen times their original population limits. In the second game it's then possible to fashion asteroid belts and gas giants into new planets and terraform them as well. It's great fun for those who get attached, and well out of place in games of galactic politics and warfare where genocide is what's for dinner. Interestingly, despite the ability to take a gas giant, squeeze it into a rock, and turn that rock into a lush world, you can't de-toxify a planet. Possibly, an oversight on the part of the creators. The only alternative is to destroy the planet with a Stellar Converter and then rebuild it into a world of your liking. The third game has a more complex system, with each planet having a certain temperature and atmospheric pressure, and each species having a different preferred value for each. Instead of having a few discrete states, terraforming is a continuous process of slowly moving each along the scale towards your sweet spot. Gravity is also important, but the effects of it being too high or too low are countered by specific buildings and technology rather than being included in terraforming. Since an empire can contain several different species, it could be tricky to know exactly what conditions a planet is being terraformed at any given time, and this could change as population growth and migration change the demographics.

Destiny 2 shows that it did the same for many smaller moons, such as Io. Titan was terraformed by humanity into a world with a giant liquid methane ocean and yet a breathable atmosphere (they hoped the Traveler would come and do a better job after it was done with Io). The alien Vex have also xenoformed worlds in the system, including turning the barren 7066 Nessus into a strange mixture of Vex machine architecture covered with a verdant alien ecology, as well as Hostile Terraforming the previously-terraformed Mercury.

Terraform / int_22fa3992	comment	The Expanse features an independent Mars that is currently in the middle of its terraforming process. While it's still not possible to walk on the surface without a suit, the atmosphere has become noticeably blue. Part of what fuels Martian resentment of Earth is that the Mars should have been fully terraformed decades before but the ongoing cold war between the two planets means that resources have been diverted to the military and the terraforming project is now a hundred years behind schedule. An older Martian laments that he fears the terraforming will never be complete, as the younger generations are used to living under domes and aren't as driven to complete the project as their parents and grandparents who remember the open sky of Earth.

Terraform / int_23ff591	comment	In Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, it's revealed that the onset of Tiberium on Earth was part of an alien mining operation. The Scrin seed worlds with the substance, which leaches resources from deeper within the crust and brings them to the surface in the form of green (or blue) crystals which can then be converted into just about anything. Any native populations will naturally seek to utilize this miraculous mineral and fight for control of it, while at the same time Tiberium's mutagenic properties will corrupt native lifeforms and the world's ecosystem. So, both directly and indirectly, Tiberium serves as a Depopulation Bomb that lets the Scrin descend upon a planet all but unopposed before harvesting the crystals at their leisure. The only reason they can't do the same to Earth is because Kane tricked the Scrin into arriving early, in the middle of a world war.

Terraform / int_247422c7	comment	Honor Harrington: A major factor in the economics of the various colonies is how well they were terraformed. This is largely a function of when you left Earth and how much money you had when leaving. Haven and Manticore were settled fairly late with good resources. Other planets like Grayson were settled by cold sleepers who left very, very early, had poor terraforming technology, and ended up on a planet full of heavy metal poisoning. The state of the terraforming efforts combined with the cultural base also give genetically engineered solutions to a poor ozone such as the Albino Zulus. In Manticore's case, it's stated that the only terraforming that was needed was the introduction of a few Terran plants, and that the unusual compatibility of the native life allowed a hybrid plague to develop. It's probably no coincidence that the most populous planet in the Manticore system is the one that doesn't have high gravity or turbulent storms.

Terraforming technology very slowly changes the red planet to a blue and green planet in real-time, and tactical combat maps change from red and deadly to green and (relatively) safe. In fact, if you fail to start the terraformation process shortly after the beginning of the game, the environmental hostility will quickly go out of control, and your space suits will not protect you. The terraformation is also shown in "stages", with the dead, red planet as stage 1, small "plant" organisms and cacti as stage 2, and the appearance of water and more complex organisms as stage 3.

The Terraformer fleets at first worked very well, performing terraforming work in years what would have taken humanity centuries to do manually, but after a glitched software update/possible sabotage, the Von Neumann machines that man had sent out to terraform the gate system started "terraforming" everything, including inhabited planets and ships. Mankind fights back, the Terraformers swat them out of the way, and all seems lost until they're tricked into moving en masse to a distant part of the universe — which they promptly start "terraforming" as well.note Planets found in Terraformer-controlled areas are often incapable of supporting life, usually because the Terraformers ruined their environments.

Terraform / int_418f78b9	comment	2312 picks up a hundred years after the final installment of the Red Mars Trilogy (below), showing humans living throughout the solar system (the main character is a native of Mercury). A minor (but crucial) plotline deals with the terraforming of the planet Venus, which brings its own subtle conflict; do you rush the job, sealing up the remnants of the thick atmosphere under tonnes of rock and using a sunshade to give you artificial days and nights, or do you use the mass of the former atmosphere to spin the planet up — a project that will take far longer, but leave a far more sustainable end result? In the process of terraforming, Robinson's solar system has become an endless playground for sci-fi tropes — giant robots scooping up frozen carbon dioxide on Venus, 'hanging ships' floating in the clouds of Saturn and fully tented moons that physically hold their atmospheres in.

Terraform / int_438b63e4	comment	Several human worlds are at least partially terraformed to make them inhabitable, though their technology has its limits. After the end of the Human-Covenant War, humanity has been actively (re-)terraforming glassed worlds to make them livable again; this can be seen in both Halo: Reach's epilogue and the ex-colony of Meridian in Halo 5: Guardians. Slipspace FTL travel being both slow and incredibly convoluted and dangerous justifies this for humanity; they can't travel very far and thus make use of every vaguely habitable planet they can get their hands on (every single star system with a specified location, and there are dozens, is less than a hundred light-years from Sol). Due to having infinitely faster FTL travel and mastery of slipspace, the Forerunnners were a lot more picky with what they colonized (despite having far more advanced terraforming technology), "only" having 3 million planets at their height despite ruling most of the galaxy while the humans have several hundred while stuck in a ~100 light-year bubble on the Orion Arm.note With the galaxy modeled as a disk with a radius of 100,000 light-years and an average thickness of 1,000 light-years, its volume would be 3.14 Ã— 10^13 cubic light-years, as opposed to the 4.19 x 10^6 cubic light-years that is UNSC space. That's about one tenth of a millionth of the galaxy.

Ganymede is completely covered in ocean, while Titan is all desert. Terraforming has become a necessity since, inversely, Earth has become almost uninhabitable due to the moon getting destroyed and debris bombardment that continues. Pretty much the only people who still live on Earth are those who can't afford to leave, and underground shelters are needed because of the constant meteor storms.

Terraform / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Warframe: Mars is a dry desert world with occasional snow. It's apparently been terraformed for so long that everyone has forgotten it even needed to be terraformed in the first place. The Orokin terraformed Venus with the simple and expedient method of dumping a truly ridiculous amount of coolant on its surface. Now Venus is habitable, albeit as an ice world, and the Corpus mine the coolant for their industry. The Fortuna expansion goes into more detail on the Corpus' attempt to re-terraform the planet. Most of Venus requires heat lamps to survive outside for any length of time, but an area called Orb Vallis, centered on an inactive Orokin terraforming tower, is more survivable. It's still very cold, but not lifeless, and there are mushroom forests draped in ice and snow. The Fortuna colony is trying to reactivate the terraforming tower to expand Orb Vallis and create more livable land on Venus. Several other worlds at least have a viable atmosphere, but most don't. Many maps take place entirely inside ships or bases because of this. It also can be hard to tell whether a planet has actually been terraformed or if there is just a smaller technological solution. The great sky-bases on Jupiter and Saturn are open air, but they are probably contained in bubbles of normal air rather than making entire gas giants breathable. The Orokin originally planned to terraform the Tau system; this seems to be the only extra-solar activity they engaged in. The robots they sent to do the job evolved into the Sentients, who decided that the Orokin would just screw up the Tau system like they did the Origin System, so they went to war to destroy the Orokin.

Unfortunately, it backfired when one lifeform arose that wiped out everything else: the Despair Squid. In "Rimmerworld", Rimmer — abandoned to his own devices (by his own cowardice) on an uninhabitable world for 600 years armed with only a planet seeding pod — creates a Single-Biome Planet of Rimmers.

When Riker, a Fish out of Temporal Water, stands in awe at the sight of the 21st century Moon and Zefram Cochrane rolls his eyes and sarcastically asks whether they still have a Moon in the future, Riker answers that it simply looks "a lot different": in the 24th century, "Lake Armstrong" and several lunar cities are visible from Earth. This does contrast a few earlier episodes, where the 24th century moon put in an appearance and looked the same as ever, though it may be possible that he was referring to it being colonized, not terraformed.

You can get techs that boost terraforming speed and the range of environments that are cost-effective to terraform, though some planets will always remain out of reach. However, since up to five different races can live on a planet at a time, all with different ecological backgrounds, sometimes some population juggling is necessary. It's possible for a race to colonize planets that are completely inhospitable to another — and conquering these planets instantly pops their habitability zone right to yours (when using assimilation plague missiles). Useful when most planets are hostile.

Terraform / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Only very mild degrees of terraforming take place in-universe, as the process is noted to be extremely expensive. With Casual Interstellar Travel on the level of several thousand times the speed of light for conventional Alcubierre drives and millions of times the speed of light for mass relays, it's much cheaper and easier to just find a planet that's life-sustaining on its own than it is to spend years and absurd amounts of money to make a lifeless rock livable, rendering terraforming Awesome, but Impractical on a galactic scale. The codex entry for Mars actually notes that the humans were terraforming it, but abandoned the idea when they discovered FTL travel and had effectively limitless planets to pick from, leaving the only livable places on Mars dome cities that they'd already built.note For reference, astronomers estimate that there are 40 billion Earth-like planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars or red dwarves in the Milky Way. If even a thousandth of those are life-bearing, and keeping in mind that the codex notes that about 1% of the galaxy is explored, that still comes out to several hundred thousand known habitable planets. You can see why no one would bother to terraform something like Mars in this case However, in the Arrival DLC for Mass Effect 2, it's revealed that the Batarian Hegemony has been trying for years to force Aratoht to support life via heavy importation of cyanobacteria. According to the codex, after 23 years of labor, their efforts have resulted in a 1% increase in atmospheric oxygen. Interestingly, it's also suggested in the codex that some degree of terraforming is taking place on Earth in an attempt to undo the environmental damage that resulted from present day burning of fossil fuels. In the past, the krogan homeworld Tuchanka suffered from global warming triggered by a nuclear war. This would have eventually caused mass extinction had the salarians not set up the Shroud, a gathering of trillions of tiny lenses at the planet's L1 Lagrange point. These shade the planet and keep the temperature livable. This is central to the plot of Mass Effect: Andromeda, where the heroes have to reset some malfunctioning Precursor terraforming machines to alter planets in the Heleus Cluster to their liking (the planets had originally been inhabitable but were damaged while they travelled there). The technology is considered dangerous however, since no one has a clue how the machines work, and anything that can alter a planet's weather patterns in seconds is some seriously powerful tech.

A cut scene shows that while the terraforming has been going on for years, it is still a work in progress.

After all but one Bob leave the system, Bill (Bob-3) decides to slightly improve the planet's habitability by bringing in Kuiper belt objects (composed of ice) and parking them in a slowly decaying orbit above Ragnarok. The atmospheric friction would melt the ice, allowing it to rain down and raise the sea level. The intention is to create a world ocean rather than a series of inland seas. Later, Milo (Bob-4) finds two habitable planets in 82 Eridani, plus a large moon with a thin atmosphere. The Bobs speculate that they could bring in atmosphere from elsewhere for the moon. While it would eventually dissipate, the process would take a very long time, from a human perspective. The other two planets have some minor annoyances, such as extremely annoying bugs and an extremely smelly jungle, but are perfectly habitable.

If it had been used on a rocky planet instead of a nebula, the planet probably wouldn't have fallen apart if that terraformed underground location Khan imprisoned Kirk and co. in was any indication. While the film never gave the fate of the test cavern inside the asteroid by Regula 1, the novelization of the film has David and Saavik revisiting the little world and discovering that the little world, too, doesn't seem right, a Foreshadowing of the Genesis World's fate. In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, David Marcus admits that he had used "Proto-matter" (a highly unstable element) in the design of the Genesis device. Even if Genesis had been aimed at a rocky planet, it would have fallen apart. Although it's not seen on-screen, the dialogue in Star Trek: First Contact suggests that the Moon has been at least partly terraformed by the Next Generation era. When Riker, a Fish out of Temporal Water, stands in awe at the sight of the 21st century Moon and Zefram Cochrane rolls his eyes and sarcastically asks whether they still have a Moon in the future, Riker answers that it simply looks "a lot different": in the 24th century, "Lake Armstrong" and several lunar cities are visible from Earth. This does contrast a few earlier episodes, where the 24th century moon put in an appearance and looked the same as ever, though it may be possible that he was referring to it being colonized, not terraformed.

The sequel novel Frozen Teardrop has it completed roughly 20-30 years later thanks to an accident involving algae from Jupiter's moon Europa (previously studied but deemed too impractical). Mobile Suit Gundam AGE makes this central to the backstory. Around a hundred years prior to the series, a serious attempt at terraforming Mars was made. An unexpected and extremely deadly plague made the Federation give up, in the process abandoning the settlers already there because they expected them to die out pretty quickly anyway and sweeping the whole matter under the rug. A few colonists survived though, and formed a nation called Veigan... which is now attacking the Earth Sphere for revenge and is known to them only as the "Unknown Enemy", or UE. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Mars has been mostly terraformed: it has a breathable atmosphere and crops can grow on its surface. The process is not yet complete though, and the planet is still mostly barren.

Specifically, most planets only had a strain of yeast their prey animals enjoyed eating. When the Slavers War ended with the Suicide Night that killed all life on the level of lobsters and higher in the entire Galaxy, the majority of new life evolved from their yeast farms, which explains why we are biochemically compatible. Protector reveals that Earth was partly Terraformed by the Pak, with the issue there's not enough thallium for the Pak's final lifestage to complete. Ringworld has much of the same issue being explored with humanoids left alone on a mostly terraformed Ringworld until they differentiate into ecological niches. Done accidentally on the planet Canyon. Originally it was a Mars-like kzinti garrison world, with a very thin atmosphere and hydrosphere. During the Third Man-Kzin war, the humans hit it with the Wunderland Treatymaker, gouging out a giant canyon twelve miles deep and two hundred miles long. All the air and water drained into the canyon, creating a perfect living environment (people live on the canyon walls and central ridge, since the floor of the canyon is flooded).

During the initial expansion phase of humanity heavy terraforming was often required to make the planets sufficiently Earth-like for human habitation, and even then some things, like the emissions of the local star or the planet's orbit or general size or rotation speed, are beyond the human ability to fix and can at best be compensated for. Notably, within Sol system itself, Venus and Mars are both terraformed to be livable. Well, Venus was, until the Star League Civil War when Emperor Stephan Amaris repurposed the planet's solar shades in an attempt to use them as a solar-powered Death Ray and causing it to regress to its original state.

Kariaks and Darzoks have different qualifications; for example, both like barren. If it's not good enough, it can be terraformed once which improves the quality of the planet; once the next level is researched, it can be terraformed again.

Many exosolar planets have also been terraformed to varying extents, and some alien species such as the To'ul'h have their own versions of terraforming (To'ulforming). One of the tools used for terraforming is the terraformer swarm, which consists of Nanomachines.

Terraform / int_b952005	comment	Endless Space: The first game features this deep in the colonization and exploration tech tree. However, terraforming a hostile world isn't easy, and there are multiple stages of planet types that must be successfully transformed in order to slowly turn a hostile world into a garden: Barren becomes arctic becomes tundra becomes terran, for example. Terraforming sideways within tiers, or even down tiers, is also possible. Gas giants and asteroid belts, however, can't be improved at all. In a separate form of terraforming, negative and mixed planetary anomalies such as strong magnetic fields, seismic activity, and toxic environments can be alleviated through other technologies in the same tech tree — the first stage allows the removal of minor anomalies, then later the ability to remove severe anomalies. Played with in that descriptions for remedied anomalies indicate that it's just as often the result of adapting the colony's systems to the environment. Endless Space 2 continues the tradition of terraforming for the majority of races with the stipulation that a planet cannot be converted into a less hospitable type. The Riftborn however are unique in that they prefer the more hostile planet types and can terraform planets into more hostile variants.

Terraform / int_e0c93337	comment	One of the problems with terraforming is an ethical one. If, hypothetically, microbes exist on Mars (which is possible), terraforming would likely lead to their extinction. This may seem insignificant until you realize that humanity has also evolved out of microbial life, so we would potentially be exterminating intelligent life before it is even able to evolve to that point. This is the subject of a lot of debate within the scientific community with some in favor (Mars Society founder Robert Zubrin, for one) and others opposed (such as the late Carl Sagan). It doesn't help that some terraforming methods involve exploding nuclear bombs all over the surface or redirecting comets to hit the planet. Another issue is that microbes or chemicals may have been brought to Earth from Mars via asteroid strikes. And if Mars does have native microbes, then the situation could turn into something out of H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds. At the very least, both the Earth life and the Mars life would have a long drawn-out battle with unpredictable results.

Terraform / int_e235270c	comment	In Stellaris, terraforming is an expensive process using mid-game tech to change a planet's type (arctic, arid, continental, ocean, etc.) over decades to something more easily inhabited by one or your empire's species. Initially, you can only terraform worlds within the same climate/moisture range (arid to desert, continental to tropical, arctic to tundra, etc.). Researching another tech allows you to terraform between climate ranges. The third terraforming tech allows you to terraform tomb worlds devastated by nuclear war, as well as make certain barren planets habitable. Finally, a rare late game tech lets you turn any habitable planet into a Gaia world, which are 100% inhabitable by all species regardless of the nature of their homeworld. The more complex the terraforming operation, the longer it takes. Terraforming within a climate range takes just 5 years, while terraforming between climate ranges takes twice as long. Restoring a tomb world's habitability or making a barren world habitable takes about 20 years and creating a Gaia world takes over 40 years. Other late-game terraforming options include an Ecumenopolis, i.e., making the entire planet a city. This massively increases living space and room for buildings but deprives the planet of most of its natural resources. Machine civilizations eventually have the option of turning planets into Machine Worlds, which are completely uninhabitable by living creatures but optimized for industrial production. There is also a random event that may pop up on one of your colonies involving ancient terraforming tech that was left behind. You can either turn it on or scrap it (the latter reveals the Terraforming tech and gives you some resources). If you scrap it, there's a chance that the planet may return to its original barren state. If you choose the first option (which is a huge project that sucks up your science resources), after a long time it will produce one of several results: It turns the planet into a worse climate (who said it was supposed to terraform it to terrestrial standards?). It releases dangerous creatures that will likely overrun your ground forces, unless you prepare ahead of time. It turns the planet into a Gaia world. Save Scumming is an option for this one.

Terraform / int_e7e37776	comment	Firefly: The system where the series takes place is small cluster of five stars with "dozens of planets and hundreds of moons". Very nearly every one of them is terraformed using massive machines brought from Earth That Was, but human labor is still needed and it's hard, dangerous work. Plus, terraforming often has unintended side effects, like the newly introduced atmosphere interacting with minerals or gases to cause a massive plague. Sometimes the terraforming fails entirely, leaving nothing but an uninhabitable "black rock." Which makes a convenient excuse when the Alliance wants to hide an entire planet...

Terraform / int_eb3f3551	comment	This is central to the plot of Mass Effect: Andromeda, where the heroes have to reset some malfunctioning Precursor terraforming machines to alter planets in the Heleus Cluster to their liking (the planets had originally been inhabitable but were damaged while they travelled there). The technology is considered dangerous however, since no one has a clue how the machines work, and anything that can alter a planet's weather patterns in seconds is some seriously powerful tech.

Terraform / int_ee221a4e	comment	The Transformers (Marvel): Some comics written by Simon Furman have a variation of this: In the distant past, the war between alien gods Primus and Unicron was ended when Primus tricked them into eternal imprisonment in large metal planetoids. Over time, Primus terraforms his planetoid into the planet Cybertron (and creates sentient robotic life forms in the process), while Unicron terraforms his into a giant Transforming Mecha body.

Knowing that the war against the Faro Plague was hopeless and that the robots would consume Earth's biosphere long before humanity could successfully hack their systems, humanity's top scientists created the GAIA AI system that would first deactivate the machines and then restore the organic life they destroyed. Most of GAIA's subordinate functions handled fixing the damage; AETHER and POSEIDON detoxified Earth's polluted air and seas, DEMETER and ARTEMIS restored its flora and fauna, and finally, once Earth was habitable again, ELEUTHIA restored the human race.

Terraform / int_f4bc7cf	comment	Venus Prime: In one of the earlier books in the series, Sparta muses that at the same time that humans are trying to make Venus more like Earth, Earth is becoming more like Venus, thanks to extensive use of coal power, coupled with humans' over-reliance on air-conditioning. The Shining Ones involves the protagonists traveling through a black hole into distant past and witnessing a race of squid-like aliens attempting to remake Venus based on a very specific template. They redirect comets to crash on Venus and create water. Unfortunately, they fail to anticipate a meteor storm that destroys their efforts. The settlers then split based on their opinion towards the official doctrine, which states that settled planets must be exactly like their homeworld. The rebels end up joining the humans and traveling to Mars to terraform it. One of the ways they do that is by inserting artificial spinning black holes (in containment, of course) into the poles in order to increase gravity to Earth-norm. In the end, though, the loyalists end up attacking Mars and destroying their efforts, returning the planet into the desolate rock we know. The rebels settle for traveling to Earth and lying dormant in the oceanic depths for human life to emerge.

Unlike the Genesis Device, though, the planet doesn't collapse back on itself after a year.note ...as far as we know; it would be a good idea for the humans to wait a while before settling. The Titan doesn't so much remake a planet as make a whole new planet using a local nebula for raw materials. They just happen to call it "New Earth". Besides, we all know it's really called Planet Bob.

Terraform / int_f7303747	comment	The Red Mars Trilogy is the definitive hard sci-fi account of terraforming, going into exhaustive detail about Martian terraforming. He portrays a process that runs for more two hundred years over the course of the three novels, which themselves are named in allusion to key steps in the terraforming project (Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars). One of the ongoing themes of the series is the increasing conflict between the Reds, who want to maintain the pristine beauty of Mars, and the Greens, who want a second Earth. The novels strongly imply that neither outcome is possible; Mars will change the terraformers just as they change it. In the final installment (Blue Mars), we see humans expand out to live on the moons of the gas giants, and inward to establish a constantly moving city on Mercury.

Terraform / int_fb9c177d	comment	Some Transformers continuities have a thing called cyberforming, whereby a planet is made suitable for Transformer life. In some continuities, Unicron was originally created as a quick and dirty terraforming engine by an alien named Primacron. He was meant to eat lifeless rocks and shit out planets suitable for habitation, but he decided to skip step two and absorbed planets of any kind into himself to increase his power. Transformers: Prime: The Omega Lock, when activated, has the potential to restore the dead Cybertron to a pristine and hospitable state, and reactivate the Energon production that's essential to the maintenance of Cybertronian life. In Season 2, the Decepticons test the Lock on a desolate Cybertronian building, restoring it, and then they decide that they'll try using the Lock's power to cyberform Earth first, restore Cybertron second. In the Season 3 finale, the Autobots succeed in stopping the former and accomplishing the latter. Beast Machines ends with Cybertron being turned into a technorganic paradise, with most of the Cybertronians restored as technorganic lifeforms. Unfortunately, this required the Heroic Sacrifice of Optimus Primal, who pulled a Taking You with Me on Megatron.

This was based on the real "Atlantropa" plan by German scientists who favoured a "southern policy" of European settlement in Africa over the conquest of territory in Eastern Europe preferred by the Nazis. The younger generation of Nazi youth oppose this plan, as environmentalism is gaining traction in the Reich.

There are four independent stats that have to be improved: atmospheric density, temperature, water availability, and flora biomass. Every method to increase these takes a long time to give up results, and the planet's lack of a magnetic field and natural soil toxicity will hinder progress.
