I have some comments on this:

First:
do you think it is good to have a mine-efficiency higher than 10? It costs a lot and maybe either having remotes (especially as an IT can distribute the minerals very efficiently and gate heavy miners easily) or wider habs for more planets and more minerals in total might be a better choice?



Yep.

If you've read through this thread Iztok recommends a higher mine efficiency from personal experience IIRC due to G shortage later in the game.

As to habs, don't you already have about 1 in 3 habs as a HP? You want extra habitability so you have more planets with high G concentrations. A G min-con of 50 is recommended (by JC?) to make a planet worth colonising.

Second:
the problem for HPs to early terraform can be partly compensated by picking ultimate recycling. I know that LRT is not very popular, but I have learned to love it!
As an HP will have (especially IT with 2 starting planets) some very well producing planets very quickly, he can buield and send cheap ships to yellows, scrap them there and get a nice boost for early terraforming until they are greens. I would just build factories as many as I can on the yellow and then scrap some old ships every turn to get a quicker start...



You could spend your points on growth and habs. For a HP with wide habs, i.e. aforementioned 1 in 3 habs, there are plenty of nice juicy greens about without having to worry about terraforming early on. The high G yellows can just be left to themselves with 100 000 colonists and 200kt of G when your backfilling your empire. 18% PGR will get you out of the starting blocks quicker and allow you to fill you big producers up to full capacity earlier as well as fill up those yellows once they finally get terraformed. Although, the higher PG may also mean not so many factories either ... so you have more G later.
