Terraforming?

[Doomed]

Im new to the game but im about 3 days into a game and no matter how much research i do on terraforming i can not terraform a planet. Is there something i need to do? I click on a planet to try it on and it always says im missing about 5 or 6 things and ive researched tons of terraforming things

What kind of planet is it?

Depends on the planet, it's a lot easier to terraform a habitable planet than it is for any other type.

Its a class M planet that says 50% habitable

Well I could be wrong but that sounds like a mod thing or weird bug I've not seen before. There are no lettered classes for planets, only stars. Unless that changed very recently.

IIRC there are only 3 terraforming techs: first is Terrestrial Sculpting(which already gives ability to terraform with restrictions though), and it allows to research Ecological Adaptation and Climate Restoration - after these 3 you unlock your full terraforming potential of habitable worlds

Sounds like you are using mods like Real Space or Planatary Diversity that add more planet classes and other requirerments for terraforming. If it´s the case i can only give you the tipp of researching on, sometimes you need some random tech to unlock the tech you require and with mods it isn´t allways obvious what a specific tech has a requirments to unlock.

Planet also can't have anomaly

Yes i am using a mod. the star trek new civilasations mod. i have a ton of the tech researched and havent seen a new one pop up all day long so idk. guess its a bug

So your mod not working is the base games fault?

Yes that is exactly what i said when i made my op. you are so smart.

No, you didn't even mention playing a modded game in the OP.

If you are using a mod, you will need to refer to the mods page in case it changed something or broke something, otherwise you will need habitability technology ( to decease the RNG pool for the category pool ) > then terraforming technology will roll > after that the advanced terraforming technology will roll randomly.

Otherwise you just wait for it and hope it rolls

Thank you. I will check out the mod page.
