Now "Terraformable Hab"This supports dropping enough on a single planet to allow a click (or 2) of terraforming rather than spreading it to several planets.
Say you have 4 60% (terraform to 75%) planets all 1 year away from your homeworld.
Theory A (drop evenly)
500kT to each planet, 1 planet at a time
each planet will terraform 1 every 2 turns until the 5th turn when you start to fill them all to 1000kT (plus a bit from their growth).
On average the pop accross the 4 planets will be growing at 60% PLUS 0.5 of a terraform for the first 4 turns (say 60.5%).
Then as you fill them up for the next 4 turns they will be growing at an average of about 63%
Theory B (Fill 1 first)
500kT to the first planet for the first couple of turns.
Then 500Kt to the next for a couple of turns.
On average the pop accross the 4 planets will be growing at 63% for the first 4 turns.
Then for the next 4 it would rise to 65%
A small advantage (and a fair bit of it will be wiped out by the increase in travel time due to worlds filling up earlier) but it is an advantage.
The advantage is biggest at high value worlds and those worlds where a single click of terraforming has the most effect
