Strategy notes
Planetary Biosphere Generation 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 +60% Population; +30% Happiness. The principal counterpressure is that planetary programs mature slowly and expose expensive frontier infrastructure before it can defend itself.
Player hints
This is a major commitment. Secure its required resources and protect the supporting infrastructure before assigning Critical priority. 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.
