Strategy notes
Global Weather Control develops the Terraforming discipline within Expansion and Terraforming. Open marginal systems early, then turn fragile settlements into durable and populous worlds. Its immediate value is +50% Population; +20% Research. The principal counterpressure is that planetary programs mature slowly and expose expensive frontier infrastructure before it can defend itself.
Player hints
This is a specialization milestone. Reaching it reveals stronger combinations, but broad tier-three investment will slow every capstone. Favor this technology when its Terraforming benefits reinforce your current economy, fleets, or frontier. Pause the branch if its expected RP per tick is too diluted or its resource costs would stall higher-priority projects.
