Now look: wide hab gives MUCH more spread of hab % for planets. This is because teraforming that is essential for AR. Early in the game, with wide hab, ~50% of green planet would not be good for you at all because no way to teraform to 70%. With narrower hab (I assume equal bands for one-immune), only ~30% or so of green planets you would not be able to teraform to 70%. Wide band is SLOW for teraforming and that is a stopper for taking it too wide - teraforming is what is really essential for AR to improve planet economy.


Comparing worlds for wide hab against the same worlds with narrow habs on the same center point, the wide hab is ALWAYS at a better hab% than the narrow hab (except when perfect hab already.)

Sure the terraforming gives less % per click, but that's less % within a value that is already higher and will always be higher with equal amounts of terra.

Talking about ~50% of green planets being not much good then comparing against ~70% of greens with narrow hab and a little terra, is not much use. That's 70% of much less worlds (and after terra...) All those same worlds will be available to the wide hab race, with BETTER values, and then some more worlds too...

Wide hab is without a doubt better from teh moment you leave your HW to the end of the game. You can colonise the same worlds you would've done with narrow, but they will all be better. And you'll have more room to expand later. The only argument against wide hab is the *cost*. The planets themselves WILL be better.
