List of Teraformable planets.

[Toppopia]

Is there a ingame list of planets that can be teraformed? Since its quite annoying and time consuming going to every single system, clicking on a planet. Checking if it can be teraformed into my planet type. Then checking to see if its affordable.

Well all planets should cost the same, a 9 tile desert planet should cost as much to terrform as a 25 tile desert planet. so just check the cost for each differnt planet type, you could always check the Stellaris wiki page for terrforming, it lists all the costs there too

Well if you only have the basic Terraforming, then you can only change planets within their "type" (you can check it when you create a new race and choose a homeworld). It's a flat cost, only adjusted by technology or leader traits.

Also, you do know that you can just click on the Green/Yellow/Red planet icon next to a system right? That will cycle through all of the habitable planets in the system, even if they are uninhabitable to your species currently. You don't have to manually open every single system and click on every single planet.

Has someone an answer to the op question? I'm also having the problem finding planets to terraform. As far as I see the planet icons on the map only show planets who are already colonizable regardless if you could terraform them more. But e.g. Mars has never been show as terraform able or colonizable. I just stumbled over it to be terraform able by clicking directly on it. Even when I advance in tec more planets become tera formable without beeing colonizable.
Any hint would be nice!

The answer to the question is that there's no such in-game list. I do strongly recommend for Paradox to include something like this in the F9 (expansion planner) menu.

But it is currently not a feature.

What is the point of terraforming? As I understand, it doesn't increase habitalibity (at least in my case). It only adds more tiles. What else it does?

It removes negative planet modifiers (such as tremors, but not all, such as shrouded worlds iirc), it DOES change habitability, desert planets will still be better for desert species than ocean etc.

Also, I'm not sure if the OP is only talking about already inhabited planets or planets in general. I assume the latter, in which case terraforming is really beneficial.

Bring up the Expansion Planner (F9). Turn off the "Is Colonizable?" filter. Change the habitability filter to match the lower limit for what worlds you can terraform. (Worlds you can terraform with the basic terraforming tech have a base habitability of 60%. Worlds you can terraform with the atmospheric tech have a base of 20%. Tomb worlds have base 0%. Anything that gives +Habitability will raise these numbers, but the gaps are big enough that you probably don't actually need to adjust for that.)

It will then show all known worlds that you can terraform.

ETA: ...but only the uninhabited ones. Even if you have the tech to terraform inhabited worlds, I guess they won't show up here. Don't have a good solution for that. (But I don't need one personally, because I only terraform uninhabited worlds anyhow.)

But that doesn't include barren, toxic, molten etc worlds that cannot be colonized by anyone (But can be terraformed)

Exactly! And this is the main point for terraforming. Making a world colonizable.

Well it really depends on your technology as far as I can tell. When you start out with terraforming, all you can do is change a planet with the same climate type to a more preferrable climate, at least that's all I was able to do, changing continental and oceanic worlds into the tropical worlds my species needed to be most comfortable. As you develop more technologies, you can terraform already inhabited planets to make that nasty alpine world your arctic species is living on into the frozen wonderland your species needs, even while they're living there. And then further down the line it seems, you can start changing the climate types of planets, so if you need a savanna world but are stuck with a continental planet, it's no longer a problem. And eventually the barren and molten worlds that no one could live on before could even be turned into a cradle for life.

That's all I could gather from what I've seen so far. It would be a little hard to make a list of terraformable planets because most of them seem terraformable for the most part, some just require more advanced technology and may cost more.

[Toppopia]

What I meant is that there should be a list of planets you can check that have the terraforming candidate modifier since that seems to be the only way to terraform certain planets. But once that event happens you have no way of finding them again short of bookmarking that planet and hope the list doesnt clog up your outliner too much.

mars is terraformable

[Shahadem]

All planets that can be colonized can be terraformed. All planets that can't be colonized can't be terraformed. No list is needed.

You must be the one to call out wiki's are not needed. Or a phonebook for that matter.

It would be great to be able to press a button that would put up a list of planets in your borders that can be terraformed. "no list is needed". I'm surprised you're using the internet at all.

Not true at all, several times a game a survey ship will let you know theres a barren or other not usually habitable planet that CAN be terraformed. If you don't rename it or something you likely forget where it was. Assuming this more what the OP is asking about.
