What this mod does

Mod adds more terraforming candidates - toxic planet, cold barren, molten and frozen can be candidates too. There are different stories for them and different terraforming links:

- Barren: this planet becomes 'abandoned world' with original story about life was there in past. This world can be terraformed to the arid/deset/savannah
- Cold Barren: becomes 'cold world' with story about its atmosphere is not enough, but greenhouse effect can make it habitable after terraforming. Can be terraformed to the tundra/arctic/alpine
- Toxic: becomes 'primordial world' where life is being formed right now. Can be terraformed into continental/ocean/tropical
- Molten: becomes 'volcanic' world which can be terraformed to desert world only at first step.
- Frozen: becomes 'snowball' world with ice carapace and ocean beneath. Can be changed to arctic world as first step.

Note, each candidate type can be terraformed only to some vanilla types with close climate, but the terraforming cost is a half of 'terraforming candidate' cost in vanilla. So basically the first terraforming step is easier with this mod but the second step is needed if you need planet type with different climate.

Improved Terraforming Candidates

Mod enhances terraforming candidates visuals and mechanics. Now all candidates have 'colonizable' status and are visible on a map and in expansion planner. Such candidate planets have 'terraforming candidate' modifier and 'candidate_planet' modifier which are removed when terraforming is complete. The latest one is a new modifier and adds few negative effects to the candidate planets to better represent their harsh environments.

This has also interesting side-effect and opportunity to colonize these candidates despite their harshness, e.g. with robots. The Volcano and Snowball can be colonized only with proper technology though.

Compatibility

This mod should have good compatibility, it doesn't change vanilla files and also should handle terraforming candidates made by other mods
There is also 2.1 version of the mod: 2.1 version

@Akashi Zetsugou, not quite so, main idea is to make planets with 'terraforming candidate' modifiers to be colonizable and thus visible on galaxy map. Note, not every toxic/barren/molten but only those having related modifier.
As for terraforming, they can be terraformed to _some_ vanilla classes and then second terraforming will do what you want. Gaia and Toxic requires related AP, yes

@Gogabor Hello just a quick question, to see if I understand correctly, this mod doesn’t change anything but just allows worlds that normally wouldn’t be able to be terraformed to be terraformed into specific habitable types of planets? If so can I then terraformed those habitable planets into Gaia worlds with the ascension perk or no? Also do you still need the Toxic world terraforming ascension perk to terraform those?

@Aki Zeta-9, no, mod doesn't spawn more candidates,

Does the mod spawn more candidates when the habitable worlds set to rare? I have like seven candidates in the huge galaxy.

@Braden, can you specify the problem? Do you mean you have planet with terraforming candidate modifier and planet was not changed to new type?
Braden 22 Feb @ 4:47pm 
hey why are only barren worlds changed ? does anyone know how to fix it

Gotcha
Gogabor  [author] 11 Feb @ 1:52am 
@PLMMJ, just candidates
PLMMJ 10 Feb @ 9:00am 
Does it completely overwrite the worlds or just the terraforming candidates?

Tried for myself many times. It is compatible with planetary diversity
