e.g. What is the minimum packet needed to have a chance of permanent terraforming ?
For that minimum size, are the odds per kT better than using a large packet (or better than 1 click per 2000kT) ?
Does 1100kT have the same effect as 2000kT, or does 1900kT have the same effect as 1000kT, or neither ?


1. the minimum packet that can terraform is 1kt. The odds are better with 100kt BUT, the odds of permanent terraforming are small anyway.

2. if a packet terraforms, it doesn't permanent terraform the same value.

3. I have found that by hitting a planet with 210kt of a given mineral rarely fails to terraform 1% click of the associated variable. That being said, permanent terraforming doesn't happen very often.

Though we often ask how and why, we must also do to get the answers to the questions.
