I believe the figures are :-
For each uncaught 100kT of mineral there is 50% chance of performing 1 click of normal terraforming on the target planet (i.e. the same terra with the same limits as if you were sat on the planet spending resources).
So a large packet of 2000kT on an unoccupied planet should expect to terrafrom it 10 clicks, which is a lot.
Secondly, the same packet can also perform "permanent terraforming" by altering the underlying planet variables.
There is a 50% chance of performing 1 click of permanent terraforming per 1000kT of uncaught material.
This ability is only available to PP and CA and for CAs it is random, whereas PP's can choose what planet to permanently alter.
Note these figures are for uncaught amounts, so work best on planets with no defences and especially no flingers.
The direction of terraforming in all cases is towards the optimum for the flinging race.
Whether the target is yours, friends, enemies or empty makes no difference.
For an immunity I believe the terraforming is towards the closest edge.
Can somebody clarify what effect part amounts have.
i.e. does 101kT count as 2 chances for terra, or does 199kT only count as 1 chance ?
