Someone suggested it in the Gigastructures suggestions: a Colossus-type weapon for Fanatic Ecocentrists that Terraforms a planet into a Gaia-world, but destroys all pops, districts and buildings in the process. ALL FOR MOTHER NATURE!

Is creating a Gaia world really so ecologically friendly though?

Well, you could with specific mindsets. First of all, you remove that pesky industry and polluting pops. Second, Gaias seem to have, based on their description in-game, the widest ecological diversity. And 'Fanatic Space Peta' is too fun of a concept to leave untouched.
Plus it would give ecocentrism a buff compared to anthropocentrism.

(As long as colossi can only fire on habitable planets. Otherwise it's broken AF)

I do believe that it's broken none the less, instant transformation, same initial cost (a ascension perk) and no cost of doing it, other than if you're doing it to your own planets.

That's why killing everyone and destroying all infrastructure should be part of it. You'll get a fresh planet but have to develop it completely from scratch. So your war gains will not be worth nearly as much as full planets + pops, which could be terraformed with World Shaper.
As a trade-off, untouched planets can be terraformed quickly, but you still get a diplomacy malus from using a colossus.

On top of that, adopting fanatic Ecocentrism is a bit of a cost as well, especially since Anthropocentrism is particularly powerful with the new pop growth mechanics.

Was playing game with friend and he said that upon putting thermal borehole on a planet he did not get the deep core engineer jobs. Just the habitability decrease.

Also I can not terraform planets on our current save, is that a conflict caused by updating midsave?

In order to check it, I started a game with Thermal Borehole already built. As you can see on the screenshot below, there are +3 deep miner jobs available in Specialist section of Population bookmark in planetary interface

Tell your friend to try disable all other mods, he uses, and check again.

Just a little idee, Ecocentric empires shoul be able to do the pacify projects (the ones pacifists do)

Or have an optional civic including that option, as well as giving them a CB against empires that killed Tiyanki/Amoebas recently (if it doesn't exist already). Really make the ecological crusaders a thing.

I found it strange that if i have an ecocentric empire Keepers of harmony, Defenders of Nature and Natural Heritage (so blockers are extremly good for my empire) the automation on planets still tries to clear them ... making thease type of empire not be able to use that feature ....

I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Slave Gene added with the Slave Race civic seems to be broken. The description of the trait states "Resources from [pop] jobs: +15%", however the modifier the pops are actually receiving is 2.5%. Could you clarify which is supposed to be correct?

I was using machine cult the other day but didnt start with additional buildings or with robot pops. Did I misunderstand the civic?

I'd double check your origin. Some of those civics cause issues when combined with some of the origins in many mods.

Try to turn off all other mods you use, and check again. If it's still an issue, then report back here, please.

can you change the special buildings to pop requirements instead of a specific government building so mods that change the government building like additional vanilla buildings
